The disclosure provides methods for treating estrogen receptor positive (ER.sup.+) cancer in women with an effective amount of lasofoxifene, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a prodrug thereof. The disclosure also includes the detection of the Estrogen Receptor 1 (ESR1) gene mutations that lead to endocrine resistance and treatment of endocrine resistant ER.sup.+ cancers.

The present invention relates to using monoterpene or sesquiterpene to permeabilize the blood brain barrier.

The present invention is directed to imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazines and imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, which are inhibitors of kinases such as c-Met and are useful in the treatment of cancer and other diseases related to the dysregulation of kinase pathways.

The claimed invention relates to treating cancer by targeting CD36, a fatty acid receptor. The claimed invention also relates to treating cancer metastases by targeting CD36. The invention involves using anti-CD36 antibodies as blockers or inhibitors of CD36 activity.

The present invention provides heterocyclic compounds, the stereoisomer thereof, the enantiomer thereof, or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt, which are capable of modulating the activity of Mer receptor tyrosine kinase (MERTK). This invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions thereof, methods to prepare the said compounds, and the use of such compounds as a medicament.

The present invention is directed to MERTK inhibitory compounds with marked potency, thereby having an outstanding potential for a pharmaceutical intervention of cancer and any other diseases related to MERTK dysregulation.

The present invention provides small-molecule inhibitors of BMP signaling and compositions and methods for inhibiting BMP signaling. These compounds and compositions may be used to modulate cell growth, differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis, and thus may be useful for treating diseases or conditions associated with BMP signaling, including inflammation, cardiovascular disease, hematological disease, cancer, and bone disorders, as well as for modulating cellular differentiation and/or proliferation. These compounds and compositions may also be used to treat subjects with Sjögren's syndrome, or diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG).

The present disclosure reports that pharmacological or genetic inhibition of Moloney murine leukemia virus insertion site 1 (BMI1) not only helped to eliminate BMI1+ cancer stem cells (CSCs), but can also augment PD1 blockade by strongly induced tumor cell-intrinsic immune responses by recruiting and activating CD8+ T cells. Taken together, the results indicate that in addition to purging CSCs, targeting BMI1 would enable immune checkpoint blockade to inhibit metastatic tumor growth and prevent tumor relapse by activating cell-intrinsic immunity.
