Explore the complex role of the IL-36 cytokines, members of the IL-1 superfamily. Learn how these molecular structures influence inflammation signaling pathways, their potential therapeutic benefits for various inflammatory diseases including psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease,
IL-36, A Member of IL-1 Superfamily, Emerging Target for Treating Inflammatory Diseases Introduction to IL-36 Family Twenty years ago, Interleukin 36 (IL-36) was discovered as a member of the IL-1 superfamily. Its gene is located on chromosome 2 in an IL gene cluster, including IL1A - IL1B - IL37 - IL36G - IL36A - IL36B - IL36RN - IL38 - IL1RN, with IL-36 encoding genes transcribed far away from the centromere. There are four known subtypes of IL-36, which have been renamed multiple times…
Natural Killer (NK) cells play a critical role in the innate immune surveillance against cancer and viral infections. They are the "first responders" capable of spontaneously recognizing abnormal cells in the body, swiftly eliminating them through targeted cytotoxic mechanisms, and effectively producing pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines to recruit and activate other immune cells to initiate adaptive responses. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of NK cell activation and identifying methods to stimulate their activation are crucial for the development of anti-tumor and antiviral drugs.
Mechanisms of NK Cell Activation NK cells are regulated by a dynamic balance between a series of activating and inhibitory receptors. Normal cells express major histocompatibility complex class…
Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a multifunctional cytokine that acts on various cell types, including dendritic cells, T cells, B cells, neutrophils, mast cells, eosinophils, and innate lymphoid cells, affecting their maturation, survival, and recruitment. It is well-known for its role in promoting type 2 immune responses, such as allergic diseases. In 2021, a monoclonal antibody targeting TSLP was approved for the treatment of severe asthma.
TSLP and TSLPR TSLP (Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin) is a member of the four-helix bundle cytokine family and is a distant homolog of IL-7. As the name suggests, TSLP was initially identified in the mouse thymic stromal cell line Z210R, as a factor that promotes the proliferation and development of immature B cells. Subsequently, TSLP was found to…
First-in-class antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that targets Nectin-4, which is a cell surface protein highly expressed in bladder cancer. Preclinical data suggest that the anticancer activity of it is attributed to its binding to cells expressing Nectin-4, followed by internalization and release of the anti-tumor agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) into the cell. This is believed to inhibit cell proliferation (cell cycle arrest) and induce programmed cell death (apoptosis).
The biologics license application (BLA) has been accepted for Enfortumab Vedotin for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma in patients who have previously received PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and platinum-containing chemotherapy. Enfortumab Vedotin is the first domestically submitted targeted an…

Single-Cell RNA Sequencing (scRNA-seq) offers several advantages in drug discovery, primarily through target identification. By analyzing complex tissues and diseases at the cellular level, scRNA-seq allows researchers to identify distinct cell subtypes and their gene expression profiles. This knowledge enhances our understanding of disease mechanisms and aids in the discovery of new therapeutic targets. By comparing healthy and diseased tissues, researchers can pinpoint differentially expressed genes specific to certain cell types or disease states.

Prokaryotes, like eukaryotes, are organisms that store their genetic information in the form of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). However, prokaryotes differ from eukaryotes in that their genetic material is not enclosed within a membrane-bound organelle nucleus. Instead, it is located in a region of the cell known as the nucleoid. Additionally, prokaryotes possess another DNA-containing structure called plasmids, which consist of looped chromosomes.

Overview of Microbial Eukaryotes Living organisms are categorized based on various characteristics, and one classification system revolves around their cellular components, structure, and function. Consequently, organisms, including microorganisms, can be classified as either eukaryotes or prokaryotes. The primary distinction between the two lies in the presence of membrane-bound organelles, including a true nucleus, which is found in eukaryotes but absent in prokaryotes. While it is commonly known that bacteria, for examp…
Researchers have delved into the exploration of various modifications of PNA nucleobases that could enhance their properties and increase their chemical space.
Structure and Properties of PNA Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are sophisticated oligonucleotide analogs that feature nucleobases, a peptide backbone, as well as an N-terminus and a C-terminus. The nucleobases embedded in PNAs are the classic adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T), all of which can also be found in DNA. However, the nucleobases in PNAs are not attached to the conventional deoxyribose or ribose sugar. Instead, they are coupled to an N-(2-aminoethyl) glycine monomer, which then goes on to create a peptide bond with the neighboring monomer. This unique chemical makeup of PNAs imbues them with an exception…
