Inflammation and autonomic balance in cirrhosis: Association between sympathetic nervous system and osteopontin, interleukin-22, interleukin-6 and interleukin-1Ra concentrations according to portal hypertension and disease severity
- First Published: 07 November 2023

- Autonomic nervous system plays a role in immunomodulation but poor is known about its activity in cirrhosis.
- IL-6, OPN, IL-1Ra and IL-22 concentrations are associated with indirect signs of portal hypertension and its main complications.
- Alteration of sympathovagal balance assessed by heart rate variability (HRV) is related to IL-6, IL-22, osteopontin and IL-1Ra concentrations and accompanies inflammation across the progression of cirrhosis and portal hypertension

Chances and challenges in intranasal administration delivery for brain disease treatment
- First Published: 15 November 2023

Graphical Highlights
Intranasal administration (INA) has emerged as an unconventional method for drug delivery, offering distinct advantages such as non-invasiveness and enhanced pharmacokinetic characteristics within the brain.
INA route effectively delivers therapeutic agents through the olfactory and/or trigeminal nerve systems.
With introducing appropriate improvements to the drug formulation, such as the incorporation of nanocarriers, the efficacious delivery via the INA approach has gained considerable traction for the treatment of neurological disorders.

Deubiquitinating enzymes for targeted cancer therapy
- First Published: 28 November 2023

In this commentary, we briefly introduce the ubiquitin-proteasome system and the potential targets for drug discovery in this system. We then outline the classification and function of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) and discuss the molecular mechanism by which OTUB1 regulates the deubiquitination and function of cellular communication network factor 6, a specific tumour suppressor in breast cancer. Finally, we summarise the strategies for the regulation of DUBs at different levels.

Data-driven Bayesian network learning analysis on the regulatory mechanism between carcinogenic genes and immune cells
- First Published: 26 December 2023

By utilizing the Bayesian network method and integrating the analysis of tumor immune microenvironment, the molecular mechanism of gene regulation in lung adenocarcinoma was discovered. Two key genes, CD36 and ADRA1A, were identified, providing insights and theoretical basis for targeted therapy in lung cancer.
