Baicalein triggers ferroptosis in colorectal cancer cells via blocking the JAK2/STAT3/GPX4 axis
This study demonstrates that ferroptosis contributes to baicalein-induced anti-CRC activity through blockade of the JAK2/STAT3/GPX4 signaling pathway, which provides evidence for the therapeutic application of baicalein against CRC.PMID:38684798 | DOI:10.1038/s41401-024-01258-z (Source: Acta Pharmacologica Sinica)

Expandable endoprostheses in skeletally immature patients: Where we are
World J Orthop. 2024 Apr 18;15(4):312-317. doi: 10.5312/wjo.v15.i4.312. eCollection 2024 Apr 18.ABSTRACTApproximately 45 percent of malignant bone tumors are seen under the age of 16 and one of the important results of growth plate sacrification in patients with immature skeletons is limb inequality. Until the early 1990s, the treatment options for these patients were rotationplasty or amputation. Multimodal approaches that combine imaging, chemotherapy, and surgical techniques have enabled the development of limb-preserving methods with satisfactory results. In order to overcome inequality problems, expandable prostheses ...

PBAC: A pathway-based attention convolution neural network for predicting clinical drug treatment responses
J Cell Mol Med. 2024 May;28(9):e18298. doi: 10.1111/jcmm.18298.ABSTRACTPrecise and personalized drug application is crucial in the clinical treatment of complex diseases. Although neural networks offer a new approach to improving drug strategies, their internal structure is difficult to interpret. Here, we propose PBAC (Pathway-Based Attention Convolution neural network), which integrates a deep learning framework and attention mechanism to address the complex biological pathway information, thereby provide a biology function-based robust drug responsiveness prediction model. PBAC has four layers: gene-pathway layer, atten...

Advancements in steroidal Pt(II) & amp; Pt(IV) derivatives for targeted chemotherapy (2000-2023)
Eur J Med Chem. 2024 Apr 20;271:116438. doi: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2024.116438. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOne of the key strategies in chemotherapy involves crosslinking the DNA strands of cancer cells to impede their replication, with platinum (Pt) coordination compounds being a prominent class and cisplatin being its major representative. Steroidal ligands tethered to DNA interactive Pt core act as drug carriers for targeted therapy. While crosslinking of nuclear or mitochondrial DNA strands using coordination complexes has been studied for years, there remains a lack of comprehensive reviews addressing the advancements m...

OSW-1 triggers necroptosis in colorectal cancer cells through the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL signaling pathway facilitated by the RIPK1-p62/SQSTM1 complex
CONCLUSION: We propose that OSW-1 can induce necroptosis through the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL signaling pathway, and that this effect is mediated by the RIPK1-p62/SQSTM1 complex, in CRC cells. These results provide a theoretical foundation for the use of OSW-1 in the clinical treatment of CRC.PMID:38681991 | PMC:PMC11045482 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i15.2155 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology)

A plain language summary of the TROPHY-U-01 study: sacituzumab govitecan use in people with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer
CONCLUSIONS REPORTED BY THE RESEARCHERS?: The study showed that sacituzumab govitecan had significant anti-cancer activity. Though most participants who received sacituzumab govitecan experienced side effects, these did not usually stop participants from continuing sacituzumab govitecan. Doctors can help control these side effects using treatment guidelines, but these side effects can be serious.
