In a study published in Cancer Cell on May 25, 2023, researchers from the University of Chicago and colleagues reported that the inhibition of YTHDF2, an immune suppressor protein, can be a valuable strategy to improve radiotherapy outcomes by overcoming resistance while enabling extra help from the immune system.
Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Tongji Hospital have disclosed sulfonylurea compounds acting as bifunctional epoxide hydrolase 2 (EPHX2; sEH) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of heart failure.
Researchers at Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed urea compounds containing 2-heteroaromatic ring substitution that act as cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) inhibitors.
Previous research has demonstrated that overexpression or gain-of-function mutations of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) are significantly associated with tumor cell proliferation of a number of cancers.
Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified G-protein coupled receptor 84 (GPR84) antagonists reported to be useful for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, fibrosis, neurodegenerative disease and arthritis.
Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Wuhan Institute of Virology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have synthesized amide compounds reported to be useful for the treatment of dengue virus infection, skin inflammation, inflammatory joint disease, inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmune disease.
At first blush, to say that depression occurs with other diseases may seem like belaboring the obvious. After all, to put it in the bluntest possible terms, it’s sad to be sick.
