Nrf2 Redirects Glucose and Glutamine into Anabolic Pathways in Metabolic Reprogramming

TL;DR: It is shown that Nrf2 redirects glucose and glutamine into anabolic pathways, especially under the sustained activation of PI3K-Akt signaling, which enables NRF2 to promote metabolic activities that support cell proliferation in addition to enhancing cytoprotection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of pirfenidone in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

TL;DR: Treatment with pirfenidone improved VC and prevented acute exacerbation of IPF during the 9 months of follow-up, and adherence to treatment regimen was similar between pirfenidsone and placebo groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pirfenidone in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

TL;DR: Although photosensitivity, a well-established side-effect of pirfenidone, was the major adverse event in this study, it was mild in severity in most of the patients and relatively well tolerated in patients with IPF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prospective phase II study of gefitinib for chemotherapy-naive patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer with epidermal growth factor receptor gene mutations.

TL;DR: Treatment with gefitinib alone for chemotherapy-naïve NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations could achieve a high efficacy with acceptable toxicity, and a subsequent randomized trial comparing gefITinib with standard chemotherapy is warranted.
