Inflammatory Diseases

Inflammatory diseases cover a wide range of conditions that are associated with chronic ongoing inflammation that can affect different tissues and organs. While inflammation serves as a protective mechanism in the body, its uncontrolled form can be extremely damaging and destructive, leading to ongoing tissue injury and function. Protheragen is actively engaged in developing innovative therapies and compounds that target the MyD88 pathway, aiming to address the critical unmet needs in the research and development of treatments for inflammatory diseases.
Introduction to Inflammatory Diseases
Inflammatory diseases form a unique group of chronic disorders differentiated by an excess inflammatory reaction in humans. The condition tends to cause inflammation that leads to destruction of tissue and organs, which in turn renders the subject to a number of life-altering symptoms. The phenomenon is in most cases attributed to a wide range of genetic susceptibility, external stimuli, and abnormal immunity.
MyD88 in Inflammatory Pathogenesis
Inflammatory diseases' pathogenesis entails the modulating of the different immune system cells and pathways which increase and maintain inflammation for some chronic conditions. In this system, MyD88, which is Myeloid Differentiation Primary Response 88 is very important for the disease processes for it functions pathologically in the illness. MyD88 is an important adaptor protein for it is critical in the signal transduction processes of the vast majority of Toll-like receptors and interleukin-1 receptor family.

Luo et al., 2022)MyD88 acts as a fuel of inflammation in the body and in a number of chronic diseases it is believed that these portions of the immune system may mediate the pathological changes. In other words, the abnormal TLR/IL-1R pathway activation through MyD88 Hypersensitivity is thought to be critical in the development and pathophysiology of inflammation and related tissue injury. MyD88 is critical in signal transduction of the TLR, it is believed that excessive activation of MyD88 can result in production of pro-inflammatory mediators like TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in chronic inflammation seen in hepatitis and neuroinflammatory conditions. Such an approach to modulate MyD88 is believed to targeted approach to reduce pathological inflammation and inflammation induced cellular damage.
