Heavy-Atom-Free Photosensitizers: From Molecular Design to Applications in the Photodynamic Therapy of Cancer

Van-Nghia Nguyen et al.

Summary: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has great potential for cancer treatment due to its spatiotemporal selectivity and noninvasive nature, but the lack of ideal photosensitizers hinders its full potential. Developing advanced smart photosensitizers without heavy atoms has shown significant progress in better meeting the clinical requirements of PDT.

Recent Advances in Hyperthermia Therapy-Based Synergistic Immunotherapy

Mengyu Chang et al.

Summary: Hyperthermia therapy has emerged as a strategy against malignant tumors, particularly when combined with nanomaterial-based photothermal therapy or magnetic hyperthermia. While these treatments alone may not completely cure cancer, when combined with cancer immunotherapy, they have shown potential for enhanced therapeutic outcomes against both primary tumors and metastatic lesions, as well as preventing cancer recurrence and prolonging survival period.

Macrophage-Based Approaches for Cancer Immunotherapy

Nicholas R. Anderson et al.

Summary: Adoptive cell therapy with genetically modified T cells has shown promising results in hematologic malignancies, but applying it to solid tumors has been challenging. This has led to the investigation of alternative immune cells as therapeutic options. Macrophages have functional plasticity that can be harnessed for both antitumor and protumor effects, leading to efforts to deplete or repolarize tumor-associated macrophages, as well as exploring the potential of adoptively transferring genetically modified macrophages.

Pharmaceutical strategies for endoplasmic reticulum-targeting and their prospects of application

Yingying Shi et al.

Summary: Modern drug delivery systems leverage accurate delivery routes to enhance drug efficacy and reduce toxicity. The endoplasmic reticulum, a versatile subcellular organelle, plays a crucial role in cell survival and maintenance of homeostasis. Recent research focuses on direct and indirect targeting of the endoplasmic reticulum to deepen understanding of its biology and facilitate precise intracellular regulation.

Tunnels for Protein Export from the Endoplasmic Reticulum

I. Raote et al.

Summary: The functions of COPII coat protein complex in eukaryotic protein secretion are conserved, but standard COPII vesicles cannot accommodate the secretion of metazoan-specific cargoes. Metazoans have evolved modules centered on proteins like TANGO1 to create a novel mode of cargo export at the endoplasmic reticulum by interacting with COPII coats and early secretory pathway membranes.

The Role of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Response in Pollen Development and Heat Stress Tolerance

Mohan B. Singh et al.

Summary: Endoplasmic reticulum stress is characterized by disruptions in protein folding leading to accumulation of unfolded proteins, triggering a protective response known as the unfolded protein response. In plants, ER stress plays a critical role in adaptation to various environmental stresses, especially in pollen development, where it is constitutively active. Specific ER stress-related genes are upregulated in sperm cells, and disruption in ER stress response can lead to abnormal pollen development and increased susceptibility to heat stress in male gametophytes.
