New CBDMT – P38 Kinase Inhibitors Report 1 year 30 weeks ago

P38 Kinase is a convergence point for multiple signaling pathways involved in inflammation. Because of P38 Kinase's central role, inhibitors of the enzyme have long been sought as potential drugs for a variety of inflammatory diseases. Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) are intracellular signaling molecules involved in cytokine synthesis. Several classes of mammalian MAPK have been identified, including extracellular signal-regulated kinase, c-jun N-terminal kinase, and p38 MAP kinase.

Competitor Analysis : Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK Inhibitors 50 weeks 1 day ago

Inhibitors of Raf and MEK (MAPK/ERK kinase) have gained great interest because they suppress growth of tumors with mutant B-Raf and some with mutant Ras which depend upon ERK signaling for proliferation. The selectivity of mutant B-Raf inhibitors lead to a broader therapeutic index and may explain the greater antitumor activity observed with mutant B-Raf inhibitors than with MEK inhibitors. In fact, the submission of a NDA for vemurafenib (RG7204, PLX4032) to the U.S.

PGE2 and it's role in osteoarthritis and height growth 1 year 19 weeks ago

PGE2 is bad for both osteoarthritis and height growth. PGE2 increases the levels of IL-6 which is an inflammatory cytokine. PGE2 does stimulate the PI3K pathway however and that is a pathway that has positive benefits on height growth.

Inhibiting TNF-alpha increases height? 1 year 29 weeks ago

TNF-alpha reduces height gain by causing chondrocyte apoptosis. One of the ways to inhibit TNF-alpha(Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha) is by interstitial fluid flow. The effectiveness of that may be reduced over time by actin cytoskeleton remodeling.

HowStuffWorks "Health Benefits of Onions" 1 year 5 weeks ago

Onions also contain phytochemicals called flavonoids, which help vitamin C in its function, improving the integrity of blood vessels and decreasing inflammation. All this spells help for your cardiovascular system. One particular flavonoid, quercetin, may inhibit tumor growth and help keep colon cancer at bay.

In addition, a newly identified compound appears to rival the prescription drug Fosamax in inhibiting bone loss in menopausal women.
