Journal: Lenvatinib Promotes Metabolic Reprogramming Through RTK to Inhibit Hepatocellular Carcinoma Proliferation and Metastasis. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 14, 2026 Using the final model, we demonstrated BE between adult and pediatric formulations of olaparib in adults and showed minimal food effect on its exposure in pediatrics. These findings establish that lenvatinib inhibits HCC by regulating lipid metabolism through the PDGF/GFR-MAPK-PLA2G4E axis, expanding the mechanistic understanding of RTK inhibitors and proposing metabolic pathway-targeted combination therapies for HCC.

Journal: Cellular Target Engagement and Dissociation Kinetics of Class I-Selective Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) Inhibitors. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 14, 2026 Trapoxin A displayed remarkable discrepancies between assays, as it showed fast dissociation kinetics in the biochemical assay, but tight-binding properties in a cellular setting. These findings not only address the previously unexplored dissociation kinetics of two clinically relevant inhibitors, but also underscore the importance of comprehensive kinetic profiling of novel HDAC inhibitors in cellular models.

Continued research in ICU-specific populations, especially regarding pharmacokinetics in patients on ECMO or CRRT, is urgently needed. In summary, while the therapeutic landscape for carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative infections has evolved substantially, sustained success will rely on a multifaceted strategy combining innovation, precision, and prevention to improve outcomes for the most vulnerable patients.

Previously, guidelines recommended infliximab and cyclosporine as the main salvage therapies; however, recent years have witnessed clinical advances...Among small-molecule Janus kinase inhibitors, tofacitinib as an adjunct to intravenous corticosteroids improves short-term response rates, while upadacitinib shows promise as a salvage therapy when intravenous corticosteroids, conventional or intensified infliximab are ineffective...In addition, exclusive enteral nutrition and hyperbaric oxygen therapy play important roles in the comprehensive management of ASUC by modulating gut microbiota and promoting mucosal healing, respectively. This article reviews the therapeutic outcomes and limitations of these emerging pharmacological agents or regimens in the clinical treatment of ASUC, aiming to provide a reference for optimizing clinical management strategies for ASUC.
