A Comprehensive Review on Liver Targeting: Emphasis on Nanotechnology-Based Molecular Targets and Receptors Mediated Approaches
CONCLUSION: Receptors based targeting approach is one such approach that was explored by researchers to develop novel formulations which can ensure site specific drug delivery. Several receptors are present on the surfaces of liver cells which are reported to be highly overexpressed in the various disease conditions. Its all are helpful for the treatment of the liver cancer.PMID:36065923 | DOI:10.2174/1389450123666220906091432 (Source: Current Drug Targets)

Digoxin and Outcomes in Patients with Heart Failure and Preserved Ejection Fraction [HFpEF] Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: The results of this meta-analysis suggest that digoxin does not have any significant effect on long-term outcomes of HFpEF patients, including "all-cause mortality", "all-cause hospitalization", "hospitalization because of HF" and "all-cause mortality or hospitalization of HF".PMID:36065922 | DOI:10.2174/1389450123666220906093058 (Source: Current Drug Targets)

Targeting AMPK Signaling in the Liver: Implications for Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Curr Drug Targets. 2022;23(11):1057-1071. doi: 10.2174/1389450123666220429082702.ABSTRACTObesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), as common metabolic diseases, are pathologically characterized by overnutrition and insulin resistance (IR), which subsequently lead to glucose and lipid metabolism disorders. The liver, a major metabolic organ of the body, integrates hormone and metabolic signals to regulate the synthesis of lipids and glucose as well as their transport to peripheral tissues, hence playing an essential role in the development of obesity and T2DM. Adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is...

Combinational Approaches Targeting Various Aspects Involved in Intestinal Barrier Dysfunction-Induced Anxiety
Curr Drug Targets. 2022;23(11):1085-1098. doi: 10.2174/1389450123666220428093419.ABSTRACTAnxiety disorder is one of the most prevalent psychiatric disorders. The high prevalence of comorbid gastrointestinal disorders and anxiety, as well as various limitations in current therapy, have necessitated the search for alternative techniques. The Gut-Brain Axis is the connecting link between the gut and the brain. One of the reasons for the Gut-Brain Axis malfunction resulting in HPA axis stimulation and anxiety is intestinal barrier dysfunction. Gut microorganisms, lipopolysaccharides, and other factors can stimulate the disrupt...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTElabela, a bioactive micropeptide, is recognized as the second endogenous ligand for Apelin receptor and is widely distributed in different tissues and organs. Elabela plays important role in various physiological processes such blood pressure control, heart morphogenesis, apoptosis, angiogenesis, cell proliferation, migration, etc. Elabela is also implicated in pathological conditions like cardiac dysfunctions, heart failure, hypertension, kidney diseases, cancer and CNS disorders. The association of Elabela with these di...

COVID-19 manifests predominantly as a respiratory illness with symptoms consistent with a viral pneumonia, but other organ systems (e.g., kidney, heart, brain) can also become perturbed in COVID-19 patients. Accumulating data suggest that significant activation of the hemostatic system is a common pathological manifestation of SARS-...
