Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists inhibit estrogen synthesis and secretion, making them promising treatment options for estrogen-dependent diseases, such as endometriosis. This study developed a population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model for merigolix, …
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone pulsatility is under the influence of hypothalamic neuropeptides, especially neurons expressing kisspeptin, neurokinin B, and dynorphin. These hypothalamic cells are called KNDy neurons. By integrating hormonal and environmental …
Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition that affects fertility in many women of reproductive age worldwide. This multifaceted disease exhibits a pathogenesis characterized by hormonal and immune system dysregulations, alongside …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease that severely affects the physical and mental health of women of childbearing age. Due to the significant side effects of traditional hormone therapies, non-hormonal treatment …
Predicted peptide scaffolds for drug screening in endometrial cancer organoids Nature
Endometriosis is a painful gynecological inflammatory disease affecting up to 10% of females. When released by sensory neurons, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) shapes immunity, a process known as neuroimmune communication. …
Chronic pain is a widespread condition affecting millions globally, placing significant strain on healthcare systems, as evidenced by the current opioid crisis. Despite advances in pain management, conventional treatments often …
Dual-omics, by integrating molecular information from two distinct dimensions, can offer more comprehensive perspective for complex disease. Herein, we developed an efficient functionalized mesoporous nanoparticle-coupled laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (fMNPLDI-MS) …
The ascent of novel alternative methods (NAMs) in drug development spotlights the dual needs for improved biological fidelity to in vivo along with reproducibility, especially in regulatory applications. The need …
Ghrelin, a peptide composed of 28 amino acids, is recognized for its role in regulating appetite and energy balance. Recently, it has also been identified as an immunomodulator that could …
