Melatonin and oral diseases: possible therapeutic roles based on cellular mechanisms
Pharmacol Rep. 2024 Apr 12. doi: 10.1007/s43440-024-00593-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOral diseases, including periodontal disorders, oral cancer, periodontitis, and mucositis are the major challenges for both patients and healthcare providers. These conditions often involve inflammation, oxidative stress, and impaired cellular processes, leading to symptoms ranging from discomfort to severe debilitation. Conventional treatments for such oral diseases exhibit constraints, prompting the investigation of innovative therapeutic approaches. Considering the anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-cancer effects of melato...

Mediator kinase module proteins, genetic alterations and expression of super-enhancer regulated genes in colorectal cancer
CONCLUSION: The Mediator kinase module is deregulated in a sub-set of colorectal cancers with differences observed in genomically defined groups. These variations may result in differences in sensitivity to targeted therapies and may have to be taken into consideration as such therapies are developed.PMID:38602606 | DOI:10.1007/s43440-024-00589-2 (Source: Pharmacological Reports)

Redox homeostasis in human renal cells that had been treated with amphotericin B in combination with selected 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives
CONCLUSIONS: The results confirmed that thiadiazoles can stimulate the RPTEC cells to defend against the oxidative stress that is generated by AmB. In addition, together with the previously demonstrated synergistic antifungal activity, and low nephrotoxicity, these compounds have the potential to be used in new therapeutic strategies in the treatment of fungal infections.PMID:38587587 | DOI:10.1007/s43440-024-00592-7 (Source: Pharmacological Reports)

Neuroprotective effect of apelin-13 and other apelin forms-a review
Pharmacol Rep. 2024 Apr 3. doi: 10.1007/s43440-024-00587-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeurodegenerative diseases, which occur when neurons begin to deteriorate, affect millions of people worldwide. These age-related disorders are becoming more common partly because the elderly population has increased in recent years. While no treatments are accessible, every year an increasing number of therapeutic and supportive options become available. Various substances that may have neuroprotective effects are currently being researched. One of them is apelin. This review aims to illustrate the results of research on the neuropro...
