Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.

Novel drugs approved by the EMA, the FDA and the MHRA in 2025: A year in review

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the 2025 novel drug mini‐review, one can take a full measure of the ingenuity that underlies current drug design and development, despite the year's smaller harvest (46 novel drugs) compared to 2024 (53) and 2023 (70). 54% of the novel drugs are first‐in‐class (FIC).

Transforming growth factor-beta targets Formin-like 2 for Angiopoietin-like 4 secretion during the epithelial mesenchymal transition [PDF]

, 2019
Epithelial to Mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly dynamic process that plays a crucial role in tumor progression and metastasis. While remodelling of the actin cytoskeleton is a hallmark of EMT, the responsible actin regulating factors are less well

Proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors [PDF]

Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2019
PCSK9 is a protease that degrades hepatic LDL-C receptors. Evolocumab and alirocumab are fully human monoclonal antibodies administered as subcutaneous injections that inhibit PCSK9, preserving receptor availability to clear circulating LDL-C.[1][1],[2][2] In randomized, placebo-controlled ...

FGF23 is synthesised locally by renal tubules and activates injury-primed fibroblasts

Scientific Reports, 2017
In kidney disease, higher circulating levels of the mineral-regulating hormone fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23 are predictive of disease progression but direct pathogenic effects on the kidney are unknown. We sought evidence of local renal synthesis in

High levels of serum cholesterol increase the risk of developing vessel co‐opting tumors in colorectal cancer liver metastases

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
High serum cholesterol is linked to colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM) subtypes with poor survival (replacement pattern). Levels of cholesterol under 4 mmol·L−1 correlated with better survival and a desmoplastic pattern subtype. Furthermore, in vivo PCSK9 inhibitor evolocumab, which lowers cholesterol, reduced liver metastases.

An update on the landscape of collagen bioactive fragments

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The remodeling of the extracellular matrix releases collagen bioactive fragments, which exert molecular functions and regulate numerous biological processes via several signaling pathways. Here, we summarize the latest findings describing the roles of major bioactive fragments from collagens I, IV, VI, and XVIII in various physiological and ...
