Antibiotic‐mediated immune modulation in periodontitis
Abstract Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. Although initiated by dysbiotic microbial communities, its progression is largely driven by the host's uncontrolled inflammatory response. While antibiotics have conventionally been employed in periodontitis therapy for their antimicrobial ...

Simvastatin synergizes with cisplatin in cisplatin‐resistant cervical cancer cells through suppression of the caveolin‐1‐mediated PI3K/AKT signaling axis. ABSTRACT Cervical cancer treatment is often hindered by the emergence of cisplatin (DDP) resistance. Increasing evidence has indicated that statins possess anti‐tumor and chemosensitization potential

Isoprenoids determine Th1/Th2 fate in pathogenic T cells, providing a mechanism of modulation of autoimmunity by atorvastatin. [PDF]
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase is a critical enzyme in the mevalonate pathway that regulates the biosynthesis of cholesterol as well as isoprenoids that mediate the membrane association of certain GTPases.

APOE genotype and the effect of statins on lipid outcomes: A meta‐analysis
Aim APOE genotype may affect statin therapy response. We conducted a meta‐analysis to update and quantify this association across various outcomes. Methods We searched seven databases (MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, APA PsycINFO, CINAHL Plus and ClinicalTrials.gov) on 9 May 2024.
