Combined inhibition of aurora kinases and Bcl-xL induces apoptosis through select BH3-only proteins

0 views | Nov 08 2023

The study demonstrates that combining small-molecule inhibitors of AURK with BH3-mimetic inhibitors targeting Bcl-xL potently induces apoptosis and may overcome resistance to AURK inhibitors in colon cancer cells. [Read the Full Post]

Transcranial direct current stimulation attenuates chronic pain in knee osteoarthritis by modulating BDNF/TrkB signaling in the descending pain modulation system

64 views | Oct 12 2023

This hypothetical study suggests that upregulation of the BDNF/TrkB signaling in the descending pain modulation system may be involved in chronic pain associated with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in rats, and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may alleviate this pain by inhibiting the BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway.
