Recent advances in nanomedicines for photodynamic therapy (PDT)-driven cancer immunotherapy

Bin Ji, +2 more
- 01 Jan 2022 - 
TL;DR: The emerging nanomedicine-based strategies could subtly modulate the pharmacokinetics of therapeutic compounds and the TME to optimize both PDT and immunotherapy, resulting in an improved antitumor effect, and highlights the synergistic nanotherapeutics used to amplify immune responses combined with immunotherapy against tumors.

Mitochondria-targeted ROS- and GSH-responsive diselenide-crosslinked polymer dots for programmable paclitaxel release

TL;DR: PTX was selectively released from PD-TPP in cancer cells, reducing cell viability and causing enhanced apoptosis of cancer cells compared to normal cells, and this approach could be a potential strategy to enhance therapeutic efficacy of cancer drugs and minimize the side effects on normal cells.

Transitions between epithelial and mesenchymal states: acquisition of malignant and stem cell traits

TL;DR: Owing to the importance of these tumour-associated phenotypes in metastasis and cancer-related mortality, targeting the products of such cellular plasticity is an attractive but challenging approach that is likely to lead to improved clinical management of cancer patients.

Gene expression profiling and histopathological characterization of triple-negative/basal-like breast carcinomas.

TL;DR: Triple-negative tumors are synonymous with basal-like tumors, and can be identified by immunohistochemistry, based on gene-expression profiling, which revealed five distinct subgroups of triple-negative breast cancers.
