Varicella Zoster Virus Infection: Clinical Features, Molecular Pathogenesis, Treatment, and Prevention

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
This review focuses on the clinical features, molecular mechanisms, treatment methods, and preventive measures of the VZV, with the aim of providing a theoretical basis for the development of new treatment and prevention methods for HZ. ABSTRACT Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a ubiquitous human herpesvirus that establishes lifelong latency and causes ...

Targeting Tumor Dormancy and Recurrence: Molecular Mechanisms and Peptide Therapeutic Delivery

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms that regulate tumor dormancy and its role in cancer recurrence, with emphasis on immune evasion, extracellular matrix remodeling, metabolic regulation and angiogenic switching. It further discusses emerging peptide–based therapeutic strategies aimed at detecting, modulating, and eliminating dormant tumor ...

Aging‐Derived Alterations in Genomic, Immune, and Metabolic Networks: Implications for Cancer Development and Therapy

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
Ageing acts as a double‐edged sword in cancer. In the elderly, open chromatin, immunosenescence, and chronic inflammation drive SASP (IL‐6, MMPs), MDSC accumulation and T‐cell suppression, fostering tumor‐promoting microenvironments and limited therapeutic benefit.

Molecular Glue Degraders Redefining Targeted Therapies From Discovery to Therapeutic Applications

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
Molecular glue degraders (MGDs) constitute an emerging class of therapeutic agents poised to revolutionize the paradigm of targeted drug discovery. By reprogramming E3 ubiquitin ligases to degrade proteins of interest (POI) via a transient formation of a ternary complex mediated by protein–protein interactions, MGDs surpass the intrinsic limitations of

Multifacet Roles of Cellular Senescence in Cancer: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
Cellular senescence shapes tumor progression through both antitumor and protumor mechanisms. Senescence triggered by telomere shortening restricts malignant transformation and limits tumor cell proliferation, while the senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP) secretion enhances antitumor immunity by activating cytotoxic T cells.

Navigating the cholesterol maze: Key insights on use of statins in neurodegenerative disorders

Neuroprotection, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 30-47, March 2026.
The graphical abstract encapsulates the dual neuroprotective mechanisms of statins in neurodegenerative diseases, highlighting both cholesterol‐dependent and cholesterol‐independent pathways. By inhibiting 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG‐CoA) reductase, statins reduce cholesterol synthesis, leading to altered lipid raft structures that ...
