Abstract Congenital aniridia is a rare genetic disorder primarily caused by pathogenic variants of the PAX6 gene. It leads to various panocular anomalies, including aniridia‐associated keratopathy (AAK). This review highlights recent insights into its pathogenesis, focusing on clinical staging, microstructural changes in the cornea and molecular ...

Critical role of the mast cell/tryptase/PAR2 axis in anastrozole‐induced pain
Abstract Background and Purpose Anastrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, is used to treat postmenopausal women with hormone receptor‐positive breast cancer, but also induces musculoskeletal pain and can lead to therapeutic regimen suspension. Aromatase inhibitors promote the release of pro‐inflammatory substances from sensitised nerve fibres, which might ...

Comprehensive transduceromic profiling of NOP receptor ligands at different Gα subunits
Abstract Background and Purpose The nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) peptide receptor (NOP) is an opioid receptor family member with distinct pharmacology and broad therapeutic potential. NOP receptors regulate functions such as nociception, stress reactivity, reward, mood, autonomic tone, immunity and sleep/wake cycle.

Targeting Inflammation and Immune Regulation in Chronic Inflammation Associated Cancers
Chronic inflammation sustains activation of key inflammatory pathways, including Nuclear factor kappa B (NF‐κB), Interleukin‐6‐signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (IL6‐STAT3), Phosphoinositide 3‐kinase/Akt (PI3K/Akt), and Wingless/β‐catenin (Wnt/β‐catenin) signaling. This promotes immune dysregulation through the expansion and functional
