Therapies and nanotherapies for cervical cancer (Review).

Cervical cancer (CC) is a major global health concern, ranking fourth worldwide in mortality, due to its high death rate and strong link to persistent high-risk human papillomavirus infections, which drive cancer progression through cellular dysregulation. Conventional therapies used in the treatment of CC have significant disadvantages, such as adverse side effects that affect the quality of life of patients. These side effects may include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, hair loss, fertility problems, damage to nearby organs and systemic toxicity. To address these challenges, there has been an inc

Polyphenolic natural products as photosensitizers for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy: recent advances and future prospects.

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has become a potent contender in the fight against microbial infections, especially in the context of the rising antibiotic resistance crisis. Recently, there has been significant interest in polyphenolic natural products as potential photosensitizers (PSs) in aPDT, given their unique chemical structures and inherent antimicrobial properties. Polyphenolic natural products, abundant and readily obtainable from natural sources, are generally regarded as safe and highly compatible with the human body. This comprehensive review focuses on the latest develo

A Recent Review on Cancer Nanomedicine.

Cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases globally and is the second major cause of death in the United States. Despite the continuous efforts to understand tumor mechanisms and various approaches taken for treatment over decades, no significant improvements have been observed in cancer therapy. Lack of tumor specificity, dose-related toxicity, low bioavailability, and lack of stability of chemotherapeutics are major hindrances to cancer treatment. Nanomedicine has drawn the attention of many researchers due to its potential for tumor-specific delivery while minimizing unwanted side effects

Nanoimmunotherapy: the smart trooper for cancer therapy.

Immunotherapy has gathered significant attention and is now a widely used cancer treatment that uses the body's immune system to fight cancer. Despite initial successes, its broader clinical application is hindered by limitations such as heterogeneity in patient response and challenges associated with the tumor immune microenvironment. Recent advancements in nanotechnology have offered innovative solutions to these barriers, providing significant enhancements to cancer immunotherapy. Nanotechnology-based approaches exhibit multifaceted mechanisms, including effective anti-tumor immune response

"Smart" drug delivery: A window to future of translational medicine.

Chemotherapy is the mainstay of cancer treatment today. Chemotherapeutic drugs are non-selective and can harm both cancer and healthy cells, causing a variety of adverse effects such as lack of specificity, cytotoxicity, short half-life, poor solubility, multidrug resistance, and acquiring cancer stem-like characteristics. There is a paradigm shift in drug delivery systems (DDS) with the advent of smarter ways of targeted cancer treatment. Smart Drug Delivery Systems (SDDSs) are stimuli responsive and can be modified in chemical structure in response to light, pH, redox, magnetic fields, and e

Evolving role of biomaterials in diagnostic and therapeutic radiation oncology.

Radiation therapy to treat cancer has evolved significantly since the discovery of x-rays. Yet, radiation therapy still has room for improvement in reducing side effects and improving control of cancer. Safer and more effective delivery of radiation has led us to novel techniques and use of biomaterials. Biomaterials in combination with radiation and chemotherapy have started to appear in pre-clinical explorations and clinical applications, with many more on the horizon. Biomaterials have revolutionized the field of diagnostic imaging, and now are being cultivated into the field of theranostic

Cuproptosis Inducers in Cancer Therapy: State of the Art and Challenges.

Cancer continues to be the primary cause of death despite significant progress in medicine, and finding effective therapies remains a challenge. New treatments are needed to minimize the harmful effects on the body and increase the selectivity of drugs. These therapies must also overcome cancer cell resistance and prevent metastasis. Metal-based drugs are becoming increasingly crucial for treating tumors, and copper ion-based systems and nanoparticles have been identified as having unique properties and anticancer potential. Given the key role exerted by Cu in the etiology, severity, and progr

Integrated Engineering of CAR-T Cells for Solid Tumours.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has achieved durable efficacy in hematologic malignancies but encounters persistent obstacles in solid tumours, including antigen heterogeneity, a suppressive tumour microenvironment (TME), and intrinsic T-cell dysfunction. This review examines the transition from single-axis engineering to an integrated framework that addresses these hurdles in sequence. We delineate how next-generation CAR-T cells are designed for precise spatiotemporal activation through logic-gated and pharmacologically regulatable receptors, while being reinforced by metaboli

Bioabsorbable polymers in cancer therapy: latest developments.

Cancer is a devastating disease, being responsible for 13 % of all deaths worldwide. One of the main challenges in treating cancer concerns the fact that anti-cancer drugs are not highly specific for the cancer cells and the "death" of healthy cells in the course of chemotherapy treatment is inevitable. In this sense, the use of drug delivery systems (DDS) can be seen as a powerful tool to minimize or overcome this very important issue. DDS can be designed to target specific tissues in order to mitigate side effects. Bioabsorbable polymers, due to their inherent characteristics, and because th

How to Treat Melanoma? The Current Status of Innovative Nanotechnological Strategies and the Role of Minimally Invasive Approaches like PTT and PDT.

Melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer, the incidence and mortality of which are increasing worldwide. Its extensive degree of heterogeneity has limited its response to existing therapies. For many years the therapeutic strategies were limited to surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Fortunately, advances in knowledge have allowed the development of new therapeutic strategies. Despite the undoubted progress, alternative therapies are still under research. In this context, nanotechnology is also positioned as a strong and promising tool to develop nanosystems that act as drug ca

Decoding the molecular mechanisms of pyroptosis and its therapeutic development prospects.

Pyroptosis is an emerging form of inflammatory programmed cell death primarily mediated by the gasdermin protein family, characterized by cell swelling, membrane pore formation, and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β and IL-18. This mode of cell death has garnered significant attention due to its critical involvement in a variety of diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disorders, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic syndromes, positioning it as a promising therapeutic target. Despite advances, the complexity of pyroptosis regulation and its dual roles in disease pathog

Chemo-RaST with bortezomib inhibits multiple myeloma relapse.

Rationale: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy with a high relapse rate that ultimately leads to patient mortality. Current therapies often fail to achieve sustained remission due to adaptation of clonally heterogeneous tumor populations. We hypothesized that Chemo-RaST, a therapeutic strategy combining bortezomib with ⁸⁹Zr-daratumumab-mediated radionuclide dynamic therapy (RaST), would synergize photophysical generation of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) with mitochondrial ROS induction to block clonal adaptation and prevent MM relapse. Methods: We evaluated chemo-RaST

Machine Learning: A New Prospect in Multi-Omics Data Analysis of Cancer.

Cancer is defined as a large group of diseases that is associated with abnormal cell growth, uncontrollable cell division, and may tend to impinge on other tissues of the body by different mechanisms through metastasis. What makes cancer so important is that the cancer incidence rate is growing worldwide which can have major health, economic, and even social impacts on both patients and the governments. Thereby, the early cancer prognosis, diagnosis, and treatment can play a crucial role at the front line of combating cancer. The onset and progression of cancer can occur under the influence of
