By studying their cross-talk, we can better understand novel mechanisms and target pathogenic mechanisms, and improve the treatment of CVDs. We review macrophage-cardiomyocyte communication through connexin 43 (Cx43)-containing gap junctions (GJs) directly, secreted protein factors indirectly, and discuss the implications of these interactions in cardiac homeostasis and the development of various CVDs, including MI, HF, arrhythmia, cardiac fibrosis and myocarditis. In this section, we review various drugs that work by modulating cytokines or other proteins to reduce inflammation in CVDs. The clinical findings from targeting inflammation in CVDs are also discussed.

As advancements in treatment technologies and our understanding of tumor resistance mechanisms continue, the role of radiation oncology is set to become even more pivotal. Addressing the global challenge of lethal cancers demands innovative strategies, particularly in minimizing the side effects associated with traditional chemotherapy and ionizing radiation (IR). Recently, there has been growing interest in natural compounds for radioprotection, aiming to prevent tumor development and metastasis. Piperine, a compound found in black and long pepper, has emerged as a promising chemopreventive agent that works effectively without harming normal cells. Mechanistically, piperine modulates key signaling pathways, inhibits cancer cell migration and invasion, and enhances sensitivity to IR. Combining piperine with radiotherapy offers a compelling approach, boosting treatment efficacy while protecting healthy tissues from radiation damage. Piperine's versatile role goes beyond radiosensitization to include radioprotection by inhibiting NF-κB activation, reducing autophagy, and promoting apoptosis in cancer cells. This dual action makes it a promising candidate for personalized cancer care.
