Activatable nanomedicine for overcoming hypoxia-induced resistance to chemotherapy and inhibiting tumor growth by inducing collaborative apoptosis and ferroptosis in solid tumors.

TL;DR: An ultrasound (US)-activatable nanomedicine was developed for overcoming hypoxia-induced resistance to chemotherapy and efficiently inhibiting tumor growth by inducing sensitized apoptosis and collaborative ferroptosis of tumor cells, showing great potential as theranostic agents for hypoxic solid tumors treatment.

Multidrug resistance in cancer: role of ATP–dependent transporters

TL;DR: The ability to predict and circumvent drug resistance is likely to improve chemotherapy, and it has become apparent that resistance exists against every effective drug, even the authors' newest agents.

Normalization of Tumor Vasculature: An Emerging Concept in Antiangiogenic Therapy

TL;DR: Emerging evidence supporting an alternative hypothesis is reviewed—that certain antiangiogenic agents can also transiently “normalize” the abnormal structure and function of tumor vasculature to make it more efficient for oxygen and drug delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypoxia — a key regulatory factor in tumour growth

TL;DR: Cells undergo a variety of biological responses when placed in hypoxic conditions, including activation of signalling pathways that regulate proliferation, angiogenesis and death, and many elements of the hypoxia-response pathway are good candidates for therapeutic targeting.
