Article Abstract

More than 500 kinases are implicated in the control of most cellular process in mammals, and deregulation of their activity is linked to cancer and inflammatory disorders. 80 clinical kinase inhibitors (CKIs) have been approved for clinical use and hundreds are in various stages of development. However, CKIs inhibit other kinases in addition to the intended target(s), causing both enhanced clinical effects and undesired side effects that are only partially predictable based on in vitro selectivity profiling. Here, we report an integrative approach grounded on the use of chromatin modifications as unbiased, information-rich readouts of the functional effects of CKIs on macrophage activation. This approach exceeded the performance of transcriptome-based approaches and allowed us to identify similarities and differences among CKIs with identical intended targets, to recognize novel CKI specificities and to pinpoint CKIs that may be repurposed to control inflammation, thus supporting the utility of this strategy to improve selection and use of CKIs in clinical settings.

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L) is a rich source of bioactive compounds, including punicalagin, ellagic acid, anthocyanins, and urolithins, which contribute to its broad pharmacological potential. This review summarizes evidence from in vitro and in vivo experiments, as well as clinical studies, highlighting pomegranate's therapeutic effects in inflammation, metabolic disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, microbial infections, and skin conditions. Mechanistic insights show modulation of pathways such as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1), and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2).

Background: The expression and clinical correlation of BRAFV600E mutation and programmed cell death-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) in children with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) have been reported, but the conclusions of previous studies are inconsistent. In addition, it has been reported that elevated cathepsin S (CTSS) expression is associated with various cancers. However, there is currently no research on the correlation between CTSS and LCH.

Mevalonate kinase deficiency in a familial Mediterranean fever endemic region: a single-center experience.

Turk J Pediatr

Division of Pediatric Rheumatology, Department of Pediatrics, Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine, İstanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, İstanbul, Türkiye.

Background: We aimed to document childhood onset mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) and to explore treatment responses and diagnostic challenges in regions endemic to familial Mediterranean fever (FMF).

Methods: This retrospective study included patients under 18 years of age, diagnosed with MKD and followed for at least six months at the pediatric rheumatology department of Istanbul University - Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty between 2016 and 2024.

Results: Of 33 patients, 51.

The MET receptor tyrosine kinase is a pivotal regulator of cellular survival, motility, and proliferation. Mutations leading to skipping of exon 14 (METΔex14) within the juxtamembrane domain of MET impair receptor degradation and prolong oncogenic signaling, contributing significantly to tumor progression across multiple cancer types. METΔex14 mutations are associated with aggressive clinical behavior, therapeutic resistance, and poor outcomes.

Multimode neural population coding of diverse innate fear response by mitral and tufted cells.

Cell Rep

Neurons that encode odor information are fundamental to innate fear processes, yet how mitral/tufted (M/T) cells encode innate fear remains unknown. Here, we identify three different response patterns of M/T cells in the dorsal olfactory bulb (dOB) during active avoidance elicited by non-dehydrogenated 2,4,5-trimethylthiazole (nTMT) through in vivo calcium imaging and multielectrode recordings in mice, including enhanced responses, suppressed responses, and no response. Remarkably, suppressed response M/T cells encode active avoidance, whereas suppressed and enhanced response M/T cells jointly encode passive freezing.
