Harnessing cytokines and chemokines for cancer therapy

David J. Propper et al.

Summary: Cytokines play a crucial role in cancer development and progression. While cytokines have been studied for their therapeutic potential in oncology, clinical trials have shown limited efficacy. However, the advent of immunotherapies and a better understanding of the tumor microenvironment have opened up new possibilities for harnessing cytokine networks in cancer treatment.

Pure drug nano-assemblies: A facile carrier-free nanoplatform for efficient cancer therapy

Shuwen Fu et al.

Summary: Nanoparticulate drug delivery systems (Nano-DDSs) offer a potential solution to the challenges of anticancer drug delivery. However, limitations such as low drug loading, premature drug leakage, and carrier-related toxicity restrict their clinical outcomes and translation. Recently, pure drug nano-assemblies (PDNAs) have gained considerable attention due to their easy and reproducible preparation technique, addressing quality control, scale-up production, and clinical translation. PDNAs, acting as both carriers and cargos, have ultra-high drug loading and hold promise for combination therapies to overcome issues in cancer treatment such as tumor metastasis and drug resistance.

An update on dual targeting strategy for cancer treatment

Yasamin Davatgaran Taghipour et al.

Summary: The lack of efficient strategies for targeted delivery and accumulation of therapeutic cargoes in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is a key issue in the treatment of solid tumors. This review focuses on dual targeting approaches, which combine biological strategies and physicochemical responsive smart delivery strategies, to increase the accumulation of nanoparticles within the TME and improve targeting efficiency towards cancer cells. The efficiency and rationale behind the choice of ligands for dual targeting strategies are critically reviewed. New approaches for smart drug delivery, including TME-specific responsive linkers and camouflaged nanoparticles, are also discussed.

Near-Infrared Light-Responsive Shell-Crosslinked Micelles of Poly(d,l-lactide)-b-poly((furfuryl methacrylate)-co-(N-acryloylmorpholine)) Prepared by Diels-Alder Reaction for the Triggered Release of Doxorubicin

Sonyabapu Yadav et al.

Summary: In this study, near-infrared (NIR)-responsive shell-crosslinked (SCL) micelles were successfully developed using the Diels-Alder (DA) click reaction. These SCL micelles effectively incorporated an anticancer drug and an NIR sensitizer, allowing for pH- and NIR-responsive drug release with burst release under NIR laser irradiation. The cytotoxicity analysis demonstrated non-toxicity against normal cells and significant antitumor activity towards cancer cells, suggesting their potential as a controlled drug delivery vehicle in cancer therapy.

Evidence for Delivery of Abraxane via a Denatured-Albumin Transport System

Maichi Hama et al.

Summary: Abraxane, an albumin-bound paclitaxel nanoparticle formulation, shows better efficacy against unresectable pancreatic cancer compared to conventional paclitaxel preparations, likely due to its transport through the albumin receptor Gp60. The uptake mechanism of Abraxane is different from that of endogenous albumin, indicating a distinct cellular transport pathway for denatured albumin via gp family proteins.

Jie Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the exocytosis rule and mechanism of PAMAM dendrimers in multidrug-resistant tumor cells. The results showed that positively charged PAMAM-NH2 had the highest exocytosis rate and was attracted to the mitochondria and cell nuclei. Intracellular transportation processes, attraction to the mitochondria and cell nucleus, as well as nuclear efflux generated by MVP were major factors contributing to the exocytosis of PAMAM-NH2.
