Particulate systems for targeting of macrophages: basic and therapeutic concepts.
Particulate systems in the form of liposomes, polymeric micelles, polymeric nano- and microparticles, and many others offer a rational approach for selective delivery of therapeutic agents to the macrophage from different physiological portals of entry. Particulate targeting of macrophages and intracellular drug release processes can be optimized through modifications of the drug carrier physic...
متن کاملTherapeutic targeting of autophagy in disease: biology and pharmacology.
Autophagy, a process of self-digestion of the cytoplasm and organelles through which cellular components are recycled for reuse or energy production, is an evolutionarily conserved response to metabolic stress found in eukaryotes from yeast to mammals. It is noteworthy that autophagy is also associated with various pathophysiologic conditions in which this cellular process plays either a cytopr...
متن کاملReprogramming of macrophages--new opportunities for therapeutic targeting.
Macrophages are key players of tissue homeostasis and are cells involved in all major human diseases including infections, tumors, western life-style associated diseases and even neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, specifically targeting macrophages seems to be an attractive therapeutic approach, yet such strategies have not been successfully translated to the clinic. An important hallmark o...
متن کاملFolate receptor-mediated targeting of therapeutic and imaging agents to activated macrophages in rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that is characterized by inflammation of the joints and destruction of cartilage and bone, often compromising both the quality and duration of life. The disease pathology is complex, involving the infiltration and activation of various populations of immune cells along with the release of destructive inflammatory mediators into the synovium of ...
متن کاملCancer Stem Cells and Macrophages: Implications in Tumor Biology and Therapeutic Strategies
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a unique subset of cells within tumors with stemlike properties that have been proposed to be key drivers of tumor initiation and progression. CSCs are functionally defined by their unlimited self-renewal capacity and their ability to initiate tumor formation in vivo. Like normal stem cells, CSCs exist in a cellular niche comprised of numerous cell types including t...
