Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Immunomodulatory Agents

241
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disorder marked by chronic inflammation of the GI tract. Various treatment strategies for Crohn's disease are employed, such as immunomodulatory agents, glucocorticoids, and biologics or anti-TNF therapy. Azathioprine (Imuran), a commonly used immunomodulatory drug for Crohn's disease, is converted in the body to mercaptopurine, which inhibits purine biosynthesis and cell proliferation. Both are utilized in severe cases of Inflammatory Bowel...

Tumor Immunotherapy01:27

Tumor Immunotherapy

629
Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.

Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

7.8K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Myasthenia Gravis: Overview and Treatment

1.8K
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular transmission disorder characterized by weakness and increased fatigability of skeletal muscles. It is an autoimmune disease affecting approximately one in 2000 people, where antibodies against the α1 subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are produced.
These antibodies interfere with the function of the nicotinic receptors in three ways: by binding to the receptor and disrupting acetylcholine binding; by causing cross-linking of receptors which...

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

1.1K
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology
  • Cancer Biology

Background:

  • Multiple myeloma (MM) treatment has shifted significantly over the past two decades.
  • The evolution is from conventional chemotherapy to more targeted therapies.
  • These targeted treatments interfere with the pathogenesis of the malignant clone and the bone microenvironment.

Discussion:

  • The shift reflects a deeper understanding of multiple myeloma biology.
  • Targeted therapies offer improved specificity compared to traditional chemotherapy.
  • Interference with the bone microenvironment is a key aspect of novel MM treatments.

Key Insights:

  • Novel therapeutic strategies are revolutionizing multiple myeloma care.
  • Understanding tumor-pathogenesis interactions is crucial for treatment development.
  • The bone marrow niche plays a critical role in MM progression and treatment response.

Outlook:

  • Continued research into MM pathogenesis will yield further treatment advancements.
  • Personalized medicine approaches are expected to become more prevalent in MM management.
