Intracellular tyrosine kinases as novel targets for anti-fibrotic therapy in systemic sclerosis [PDF]
Tissue fibrosis is a major cause of death in SSc, but therapies that target selectively fibrosis are not yet available for routine clinical use. Recent pre-clinical studies suggest that selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors that target c-Abl, PDGF ...

Studying the impact of presence of alpha acid glycoprotein and protein glycoprotein in chronic myeloid leukemia patients treated with imatinib mesylate in the State of Qatar [PDF]
Despite the efficacy of imatinib mesylate (IM) in treating chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), there is a high degree of resistance. Alpha- 1-acid glycoprotein may reduce drug efficacy through its ability to interact with IM and blocks it from reaching its ...

Late treatment with imatinib mesylate ameliorates radiation-induced lung fibrosis in a mouse model [PDF]
Background: We have previously shown that small molecule PDGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (RTKI) can drastically attenuate radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis if the drug administration starts at the time of radiation during acute inflammation ...
