The exciting potential of nanotherapy in brain-tumor targeted drug delivery approaches
Introduction According to the National Brain Tumor Society, in 2016, approximately 688,096 Americans are living with a brain-tumor (http://braintumor.org/brain-tumor-information/brain-tumor-facts/). It is estimated that approximately 78,000 will be diagnosed, and 16,616 people will die from malignant brain-tumors in 2016. Brain-tumor is challenging to cure and therapy is limited by the lack of ...
متن کاملTargeted nanotherapy for induction of therapeutic immune responses.
Nanotechnology permits the design of therapeutic devices with defined structure and molecular composition. Modular designs employing surface-bound ligands provide specific homing devices for loaded cargo, and biocompatible and biodegradable constructs provide surrogate temporary microenvironments. We first present a case for developing 'smart' modular constructs as immunogenic vaccines to prime...
متن کاملTumor Microenvironment
Abstract While genetic changes are critical for the malignant transformation of epithelial cells, the microenvironment in which the cells reside also governs carcinogenesis. Most tumors arise within a cellular microenvironment characterized by suppressed host immunity, dysregulated inflammation, and increased production of cellular growth and survival factors that induce angiogenesis and inhibi...
متن کاملHER2-Targeted Polyinosine/Polycytosine Therapy Inhibits Tumor Growth and Modulates the Tumor Immune Microenvironment.
The development of targeted therapies that affect multiple signaling pathways and stimulate antitumor immunity is greatly needed. About 20% of patients with breast cancer overexpress HER2. Small molecules and antibodies targeting HER2 convey some survival benefits; however, patients with advanced disease succumb to the disease under these treatment regimens, possibly because HER2 is not complet...
متن کاملTargeted delivery of immunogenic antigen to the tumor microenvironment after irradiation facilitates tumor control
Tumor control by radiation therapy (RT) acts beyond direct RT-induced cell death and has the ability to stimulate a systemic anti-tumor immune response through antigen release and sterile inflammation. However, RT-induced myeloid cell recruitment can interfere with the anti-tumor immune response and facilitate tumor growth thus resulting in recurrence of the primary tumors to cause death in pat...
