Emerging pro-drug and nano-drug strategies for gemcitabine-based cancer therapy

Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2022
Gemcitabine has been extensively applied in treating various solid tumors. Nonetheless, the clinical performance of gemcitabine is severely restricted by its unsatisfactory pharmacokinetic parameters and easy deactivation mainly because of its rapid ...

Deoxycytidine and Deoxythymidine Treatment for Thymidine Kinase 2 Deficiency [PDF]

Annals of Neurology, 2017
ObjectiveThymidine kinase 2 (TK2), a critical enzyme in the mitochondrial pyrimidine salvage pathway, is essential for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance. Mutations in the nuclear gene, TK2, cause TK2 deficiency, which manifests predominantly in children as myopathy with mtDNA depletion.

Pharmacogenomic profiling of the efficacy of gemcitabine monotherapy in metastatic pancreatic cancer: Subgroup analysis of the GENESECT study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim In the GENESECT study, no significant gemcitabine (GEM) metabolism‐related germline genetic polymorphisms (GPs) were identified because approximately 70% of patients received combination therapy with nab‐paclitaxel, which has metabolic pathways different from GEM.

Somatic cell reprogramming for Parkinson's disease treatment

Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 59-73, Spring 2025.
The fundamental purpose of cell reprogramming to treat Parkinson's disease is to generate dopaminergic neurons (DAN) and do transplantation. There are two ways to accomplish this. One method is to induce cells into induced DA neurons (iDAN) directly or to induce cells into induced pluripotent stem cells and ultimately into iDAN in vitro. Another option

Epigenetic Dysregulation of Somatostatin Receptors (SSTR) 1–5 and Therapeutic Implications in Neuroendocrine and Non‐Neuroendocrine Malignancies

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Somatostatin receptors (SSTR) mediate the antiproliferative, antisecretory, and proapoptotic effects of somatostatin and its synthetic analogs. Their surface expression on neuroendocrine tumor (NET) cells is required for somatostatin analog therapy and radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT).

Strategies and mechanisms of precision genome engineering: From gene editing to genome writing

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
In this review, we examined the progression of genome manipulation from stochastic nuclease‐mediated cutting toward precise editing and programmable genome writing. We discussed tools like multi‐kilobase RNA‐guided integrators and Artificial Intelligence (AI)‐designed effectors and showed how these advances enable researchers to treat genomes as ...

Microbiome—pancreatic cancer crosstalk: From tumor biology to therapeutic intervention

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
The intratumoral microbiome acts as a critical regulator in pancreatic cancer progression and therapeutic resistance. This comprehensive review delineates the origins of pancreatic microbes, elucidates their multifaceted mechanisms in driving immune suppression, metabolic reprogramming, and stromal desmoplasia, and highlights the clinical potential of ...
