Decoding the dual role of autophagy in cancer through transcriptional and epigenetic regulation
Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation controls autophagy, which exerts context‐dependent effects on cancer: Autophagy suppresses tumorigenesis by maintaining cellular homeostasis or promotes tumor progression by supporting survival under stress. In this “In a Nutshell” article, we explore the intricate mechanisms of the dual function of autophagy ...

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

VDDB: a comprehensive resource and machine learning platform for antiviral drug discovery [PDF]
Virus infection is one of the major diseases that seriously threaten human health. To meet the growing demand for mining and sharing data resources related to antiviral drugs and to accelerate the design and discovery of new antiviral drugs, we presented an open-access antiviral drug resource and machine learning platform (VDDB), which, to the best of ...

Clinical Pharmacology of Mezlocillin [PDF]
Mezlocillin is a new broad-spectrum semisynthetic penicillin that has shown encouraging in vitro activity against the infecting organisms most likely to cause mortality and morbidity in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. The serum clearances and urine recoveries of mezlocillin, ampicillin, and carbenicillin were compared after the intravenous ...

Sex disparities in the effect of statins on lipid parameters:The PharmLines Initiative [PDF]
Real-world evidence on a potential statin effect modification by sex is inconclusive, especially for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We aimed to quantify the differences in the effect of statins on lipid parameters between men and

The enzyme 5‐lipoxygenase (5‐LOX) catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes (LTs) involved in inflammatory pathophysiology. After cellular stimulation, 5‐LOX translocates to the nucleus, interacting with the 5‐LOX‐activating protein (FLAP) to form LTA4 from arachidonic acid (AA).

Decision making under uncertainty: comparing regulatory and health technology assessment reviews of medicines in the United States and Europe [PDF]
Assessments of clinical evidence vary between regulators and health technology assessment bodies, but precise differences remain unclear. To compare uncertainties raised on the clinical evidence of approved drugs, we analyzed assessments of regulators ...

Large multidimensional digital images of cancer tissue are becoming prolific, but many challenges exist to automatically extract relevant information from them using computational tools. We describe publicly available resources that have been developed jointly by expert and non‐expert computational biologists working together during a virtual hackathon
