The Potential of Chronotherapy and Nanotherapy-Based Strategies for Glioblastoma Treatment.

Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive brain tumour in adults, and despite ongoing efforts, effective treatment remains limited. Standard therapies often face challenges because of the tumour's specific biology, its aggressive nature, and the presence of certain physiological barriers in the brain that impede chemotherapeutics from reaching their target. Emerging research in circadian biology highlights the role of the internal circadian clock in tumour progression and treatment response. Evidence suggests that aligning therapy to patients' chronotypes could potentially improve treatme

Design specifications for biomedical virtual twins in engineered adoptive cellular immunotherapies.

In (immune)oncology, virtual twins (VTs) offer patient-individual decision support. Nevertheless, current VTs do not incorporate the unique properties of engineered adoptive cellular immunotherapies (eACIs). Here, we outline the minimal design specifications for VTs for engineered ACIs (eACI-VTs) to model the complex interplay between cell product and patient physiology. We motivate utilizing VTs in eACIs to provide decision support and reflect on how eACI-VTs can support the widespread use of eACIs.
