EditorialOpen accessPhrase in the titleNeutrophil Extracellular Traps as Therapeutic Targets for Inflammatory DiseaseRory R. KoenenNeutrophilic granulocytes, or neutrophils are the most abundant circulating white blood cell and constitute a first line of defense against pathogens. They are characterized by a large polymorphic lobular nucleus and the presence of many secretory granules in their cytoplasm. Neutrophils are essential for a functional host defense, as is evidenced by the occurrence of severe infections in individuals with … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 25 Feb 2015 · 8,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleThe Phenotypically Suppressed Cancer Cell As a Therapeutic TargetKimberly D. Kyker, Jessica E. Thorpe, Satyendra S. Shenoy et al.Bladder cancer recurs in up to 70% of patients judged to be tumor-free after treatment. Like other cancers, delayed appearance of metastases is common. These findings suggest the malignant phenotype can be suppressed, to emerge later. Following up on previous research in our laboratory showing that normal extracellular matrix can suppress the malignant phenotype of bladder cancers, we here demonstrate … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,471 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the keywordsUnraveling NETosis: From Immune Mechanisms to Therapeutic InnovationsAnastasia V. Poznyak, Alexey V. Churov, Gulalek Amanmyradovna Babayeva et al.Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) are integral to immune responses, serving both protective and pathological roles in inflammatory diseases. Despite increasing recognition of NETs, significant gaps remain in understanding the nuanced mechanisms of NETosis and its implications for health and disease. This review systematically explores NETosis—the formation of NETs—by elucidating the molecular signaling pathways and cellular mechanisms involved. We highlight the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 21 Feb 2026 · 1,678 accessesView PDFCite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractJAK Inhibitors for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Assessing Efficacy and Safety in TreatmentAnastasia V. Poznyak, Varvara A Orekhova, Natalia Vladimirovna Elizova et al.Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation, progressive joint destruction, and systemic complications. Dysregulated cytokine signaling through the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway plays a central role in RA pathogenesis, making JAK inhibitors an important therapeutic option. Tofacitinib, baricitinib, and upadacitinib are oral targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs that interfere with … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 8 Oct 2026 · 412 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractMicroRNAs in Atherosclerosis: Key Players, Diagnostic Potential, and Therapeutic OpportunitiesAnastasia V Poznyak, Stanislav Anatolievich Antonov, Ulyana V. Rozhkova et al.Atherosclerosis is a significant contributor to cardiovascular diseases, often progressing silently over many years before clinical symptoms manifest. The multifaceted pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, involving processes such as endothelial dysfunction and inflammation, presents challenges in early diagnosis and effective treatment. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of non-coding RNA molecules with post-transcriptional gene regulation abilities, have emerged as potential key players in atherosclerosis … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 25 Jul 2026 · 740 accessesView PDFCite
