Background: Lung cancer is a highly lethal malignancy with a poor prognosis and the leading cause of mortality worldwide. The development of mutations makes lung cancer treatment more challenging and expensive. Successful identification of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations led to the discovery of various third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Osimertinib is one of the promising and efficacious t Read More

Background: Liver diseases continue to destroy the lives of people, one of which is known as Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) that becomes a serious liver disease all around the world over the last few years. Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) is a progressive form of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and is characterized by liver steatosis, inflammation, different degrees of fibrosis, and hepatocellular injury.

Background: The protein arginine methyltransferase family includes nine members, with PRMT5 being the major type II arginine methyltransferase. PRMT5 is upregulated in a variety of tumors and promotes tumorigenesis and tumor cell proliferation and metastasis, making it a potential tumor therapy target. Recently, PRMT5 inhibitor research and development have become hotspots in the tumor therapy field. Methods: We cla Read More

Flavonoids effectively treat cancer, inflammatory disorders (cardiovascular and nervous systems), and oxidative stress. Fisetin, derived from fruits and vegetables, suppresses cancer growth by altering cell cycle parameters that lead to cell death and angiogenesis without affecting healthy cells. Clinical trials are needed in humans to prove the effectiveness of this treatment for a wide range of cancers. According to the results of Read More
