Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains a difficult breast cancer subtype to treat as it exhibits a particularly aggressive behavior. The dysregulation of distinct signaling pathways underlies this aggres...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have tremendous potential as nano/micron-sized drug delivery carriers. Their physical, chemical and biological characteristics distinguish them as unique carriers with specific ph...
The vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) plays an important role in melanoma development and progression. Peptide vaccines have shown great potential in cancer immunotherapy by targeting VEG...
As a radiosensitizing agent in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), gadolinium is disadvantageous in that it confers a rather high toxicity and low longitudinal comfort time (r1). We hypothesized that gadolinium whe...
Gallic acid is a natural antioxidant present in many plants such as tea, sumac, gallnut and other plants. This naturally occurring gallic acid is known to exhibit auto-oxidation under certain conditions, gener...
Using a chemotherapeutic agent, such as doxorubicin (DOX), with a natural agent, such as silibinin (Sili), is highly valuable to minimize systemic toxicity. However, Sili and DOX face disadvantages, such as lo...
Glioma is the most prevalent type of primary brain tumor, and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the highest and most deadly type of primary central nervous system (CNS) tumor, affecting a significant number of ...
The lack of efficacious treatments for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) has led to a poor 5-year survival rate. Here, we found that the expression of ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 mot...
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have been known as a therapeutic agent and drug delivery system for treating various diseases, including infectious diseases and cancer. However, due to the low biocompatibil...
