Contribution of platelets to tumour metastasis.
TLDR
Contributions of platelets to tumour cell survival and spread suggest platelets as a new avenue for therapy.Abstract:
Experimental evidence suggests that platelets contribute to metastasis through adhesive and haemostatic functions that promote cancer cell survival, immune evasion and interactions with vascular cells to assist organ colonization from the bloodstream. Extensive experimental evidence shows that platelets support tumour metastasis. The activation of platelets and the coagulation system have a crucial role in the progression of cancer. Within the circulatory system, platelets guard tumour cells from immune elimination and promote their arrest at the endothelium, supporting the establishment of secondary lesions. These contributions of platelets to tumour cell survival and spread suggest platelets as a new avenue for therapy.read more

TL;DR: The dual-ligand nanoparticle was capable of capturing different metastatic sites within the same animal that overexpressed either receptor or both of them, and the highly efficient targeting resulted in 22% of the injected dual- ligand nanoparticles being deposited in early-stage metastases within 2 h after injection.

Cell membrane-coated nanosized active targeted drug delivery systems homing to tumor cells: A review.
TL;DR: This review discusses various sources of cell membranes, which have been harnessed previously in this field and highlights the mechanism underlying the targeting action of these nanocarriers and the method of their extraction, along with the applications of biomimetic cell membrane-coated nanoccarriers in cancer phototherapy and diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autotaxin, a secreted lysophospholipase D, as a promising therapeutic target in chronic inflammation and cancer.
TL;DR: The present review article aims to summarize the existing knowledge as to the implications of ATX in chronic inflammatory diseases and cancer and to highlight the low molecular weight compounds, which have been developed as leads for the discovery of novel medicines to treat inflammatory diseasesand cancer.

Mode of Action of Aspirin as a Chemopreventive Agent
TL;DR: The finding of aspirin benefit at low-doses given once daily, used for cardioprevention, locates the antiplatelet effect of aspirin at the center of its antitumor efficacy, and convincingly suggest that colorectal cancer and atherothrombosis may share a common mechanism of disease.
