Article Abstract

Study Background And Objectives: Endometrial cancer, ranking as the 6th most prevalent cancer affecting women globally, is characterized by high mortality rates, recurrence, and poor prognosis. The disease lacks comprehensive understanding and effective treatment options. This meta-analysis focuses on randomized controlled trials to investigate targeted therapies, survival outcomes, and prognostic factors in endometrial cancer.

Methods: The study follows the PICOS protocol and PRISMA guidelines, utilizing Review Manager Software (Version 5.4) for meta-analyses. Predetermined outcomes relevant to the topic guide the study search, with the GRADE tool assessing the quality of evidence and Begg's formula and Kendall's Tau evaluating certainty.

Results: Results reveal oral anastrozole and vistusertib's efficacy, reducing progression-free survival (PFS) and enhancing protein detection. The meta-analysis indicates that targeted therapies do not significantly improve PFS but reduce adverse effects. Chemotherapy does not considerably improve survival rates, and interventions show no significant difference in prognostic factors.

Conclusion: In conclusion, anastrozole and vistusertib emerge as effective targeted therapies for endometrial cancer, supported by clinical trial evidence demonstrating reduced PFS and improved protein detection. Additionally, the carboplatin-paclitaxel combination and radiotherapy in monotherapy show promising clinical outcomes. These findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of prognostic factors, targeted therapies, and survival outcomes in endometrial cancer, emphasizing the need for further research and clinical trials for optimal disease management.

Heart failure (HF) is a multifactorial and pathophysiological complex syndrome, involving not only neurohormonal activation but also oxidative stress, chronic low-grade inflammation, and metabolic derangements. Central to the cellular defence against oxidative damage is nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a transcription factor that orchestrates antioxidant and cytoprotective responses. Preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies reveal that Nrf2 signalling is consistently impaired in HF, contributing to the progression of myocardial dysfunction.

Macrophage cannibalism: efferocytosis in atherosclerosis.

Curr Opin Lipidol

August 2025

Cardiometabolic Immunity Laboratory, Department of Physiology, Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute (BDI) and Victorian Heart Institute (VHI), Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Purpose Of Review: This review explores the evolving understanding of efferocytosis - the clearance of dead or dying cells by phagocytes - in the context of atherosclerosis. It highlights recent discovers in cell death modalities, impaired clearance mechanisms and emerging therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring efferocytosis to stabilize plaques and resolve inflammation.

Recent Findings: Recent studies have expanded the scope of efferocytosis beyond apoptotic cells to include other pro-inflammatory cell death modes, including pyroptosis, necroptosis and ferroptosis, revealing context-dependent clearance efficiency and immunological outcomes.

Autoimmune nodopathies: emerging insights and clinical implications.

Curr Opin Neurol

October 2025

Neuromuscular Diseases Unit, Department of Neurology, IR SANT PAU, Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, CIBERER, Barcelona, Spain.

Purpose Of Review: Autoimmune nodopathies (AN) are a recognized distinct group of immune-mediated peripheral neuropathies with unique immunopathological features and therapeutic implications. This review synthesizes recent advances in their pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management, which have refined their clinical classification and informed targeted treatment strategies.

Recent Findings: AN are characterized by autoantibodies targeting surface proteins in the nodal-paranodal area (anti-contactin-1, anti-contactin-associated protein 1, anti-neurofascin-155, anti-pan-neurofascin), predominantly of IgG4 subclass.

Migrasomes in Health and Disease: Insights into Mechanisms, Pathogenesis, and Therapeutic Opportunities.

Cell Physiol Biochem

September 2025

Department of Histology and Embryology and Vascular Biology Student Research Club, Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, 85-092 Bydgoszcz, Poland, E-Mail:

Migrasomes are newly discovered, migration-dependent organelles that mediate the release of cellular contents into the extracellular environment through a process known as migracytosis. Since their identification in 2014, growing evidence has highlighted their critical roles in intercellular communication, organ development, mitochondrial quality control, and disease pathogenesis. Migrasome biogenesis is a complex, multi-step process tightly regulated by lipid composition, tetraspanin-enriched microdomains, and molecular pathways involving sphingomyelin synthase 2, Rab35, and integrins.

Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) is a pleiotropic cytokine that acts as a central regulator of inflammation and immune responses across diverse organ systems. Functioning upstream in immune activation cascades, MIF influences macrophage polarization, T and B cell differentiation, and cytokine expression through CD74, CXCR2/4/7, and downstream signaling via NF-κB, ERK1/2, and PI3K/AKT pathways. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of MIF's mechanistic functions under both physiological and pathological conditions, highlighting its dual role as a protective mediator during acute stress and as a pro-inflammatory amplifier in chronic disease.
