One potentially serious complication of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is pulmonary hypertension (PH). Based on previous research that revealed involvement of perivascular immune and inflammatory responses in regulation of vascular remodeling and PH processing, researchers from Fudan University investigated the immunologic factors linked to OSA-induced PH.
Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome is a life-threatening condition derived from heat stress or sepsis, among other conditions, that can lead to irreversible organ damage and death if left untreated. Gasdermin (GSDMD) is an executor protein that causes cell lysis, facilitates the release of inflammatory mediators and is involved in pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis processes leading to inflammatory cell death or PANoptosis.
Omniamed Co. Ltd. and Pohang University of Science & Technology have patented compounds acting as nitric oxide (NO) scavengers and reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, allergy, obesity, myelofibrosis, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory, cardiovascular and neurological disorders, among others.
Work at Aston University has led to the identification of tissue transglutaminase (TGM2) inhibitors potentially useful for the treatment of fibrosis, thrombosis, cancer, AIDS, inflammation, transplant rejection, neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases, among others.
Researchers from Fundación Jiménez Díaz and affiliated organizations have published data from a study that aimed to identify new genes involved in the progression of atherosclerosis, a chronic multifactorial inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of lipids and leukocytes within the arterial wall.
Researchers from Sun Yat-Sen University and affiliated organizations presented data from a study that aimed to investigate mechanisms by which the CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3) antagonist, AMG-487, acts on autoimmune uveitis.
Researchers from Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) and affiliated organizations presented the discovery and preclinical characterization of novel soluble epoxide hydrolase 2 (sEH) inhibitors as candidates for the treatment of inflammatory disorders.
Azothbio Inc. and Daegu-Gyeongbuk Medical Innovation Foundation have described non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase TYK2 inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of autoimmune disease, cancer, endocrine, inflammatory and neurological disorders.
Augustine Therapeutics NV has synthesized new heteroaryl-amine compounds acting as histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitors and thus reported to be useful for the treatment of inflammation, autoimmune disease, cancer, neurodegeneration, pain, neuropathy, psychiatric and cardiovascular disorders.
Kidney stones are largely composed of calcium oxalate (CaOx), which can cause serious renal inflammation and damage to renal tubular epithelial cells, with the CaOx crystals gradually accumulating and leading to CaOx nephrocalcinosis.
