Multifaceted Roles of Chloroquines in Gastrointestinal Disorders and Beyond

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 4, August 2026.
Chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) modulate lysosomal activity and autophagy, suppressing gastrointestinal inflammation and reshaping pathogenic microbiota. These mechanisms alleviate inflammatory bowel disease, inhibit associated tumor growth, and provide benefits in certain autoimmune and viral conditions.

Pathomechanism of Fever‐Induced Liver Failure in NBAS Deficiency and Treatment Effect of NAC—Observations In Vitro and In Vivo

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Pathogenic variants in neuroblastoma amplified sequence (NBAS) gene causes infantile liver failure type 2 (IFLS2; MIM 616483), characterised by recurrent episodes of liver failure triggered by febrile infections. The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain incompletely understood. With this work we try to shed light
