TLDR
The current mini-review provides a brief overview of recent developments made with photosynthetic microorganisms, ascertaining their therapeutic capabilities in tissue engineering and anticancer therapy.Abstract:
Adequate oxygen tension has been associated with better tissue regeneration and reversal of tumor cells' resistance against various therapeutic modalities. Over the past two decades, an enormous amount of efforts have been made to develop strategies and materials that could actively generate oxygen to contrast local hypoxia at injury or tumor site. In this context, the current research trend is exploring photosynthetic microorganisms as a continuous oxygenation source. This concise review provides a brief overview of recent developments made with photosynthetic microbes, ascertaining their therapeutic capabilities in tissue engineering and anticancer therapy.read more

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that regional oxygen treatment by an implanted oxygen-generating depot may enhance the cytotoxicity of DOX against malignant tissues in a highly site-specific manner, without raising systemic oxygen levels, ultimately allaying the hypoxia-induced DOX resistance in solid malignancies.
