Cathepsin B-responsive and gadolinium-labeled branched glycopolymer-PTX conjugate-derived nanotheranostics for cancer treatment

Hao Cai et al.

Summary: Multi-modal therapeutics using polymeric carriers for simultaneous diagnosis and treatment of cancer have been developed. A theranostic nanomedicine, branched glycopolymer-PTX-DOTA-Gd, showed extended circulation time, enhanced tumor accumulation, and excellent biocompatibility with reduced gadolinium ion retention. This branched polymeric prodrug-based nanomedicine has great potential for safe and effective cancer diagnosis and treatment, achieving enhanced imaging contrast and high antitumor efficacy.

A combinational chemo-immune therapy using an enzyme-sensitive nanoplatform for dual-drug delivery to specific sites by cascade targeting

Yanmei He et al.

Summary: By developing cascade-targeting, dual drug-loaded core-shell nanoparticles, precise drug delivery to tumors and overcoming biological barriers were achieved; the degradation of hyaluronic acid shell facilitated drug release and cellular uptake, while the exposure of triphenylphosphonium derivative core allowed for mitochondria-targeted delivery, ultimately inhibiting tumor growth.

Enhanced tumour penetration and prolonged circulation in blood of polyzwitterion-drug conjugates with cell-membrane affinity

Siqin Chen et al.

Summary: Conjugates of small-molecule anticancer drugs with a polyzwitterion that has negligible interaction with proteins and weak interaction with phospholipids can effectively eradicate large tumours and patient-derived tumour xenografts in mice by facilitating their transcytosis-mediated extravasation and infiltration into tumours, showcasing potential for translational anticancer nanomedicines.

Antibody-drug conjugates with dual payloads for combating breast tumor heterogeneity and drug resistance

Chisato M. Yamazaki et al.

Summary: In this study, dual-drug ADCs show promising therapeutic potential for treating heterogeneous breast tumors with minimal toxicity and optimal pharmacokinetic profiles. Compared to co-administration of two single-drug variants, the dual-drug ADC exhibits greater treatment effect and survival benefit in xenograft mouse models representing intratumor HER2 heterogeneity and drug resistance.

FAP-Targeted Photodynamic Therapy Mediated by Ferritin Nanoparticles Elicits an Immune Response against Cancer Cells and Cancer Associated Fibroblasts

Shiyi Zhou et al.

Summary: This study developed a photodynamic therapy approach using nanoparticles specifically targeting FAP, which efficiently eradicated CAFs in tumors and induced anti-cancer immunity in murine models. Interestingly, the treatment not only elicited cellular immunity against cancer cells, but also stimulated an anti-CAFs immunity, as supported by adoptive cell transfer study.
