Abstract Cancer treatment faces many hurdles and resistance is one among them. Anti-cancer strategies are evolving due to innate acquired capacity, governed by genetic, epigenetic, proteomic, metabolic, or microenvironmental cues that ultimately enable selected cancer cells survive progress under unfavorable conditions. Although the mechanism of drug being widely studied generate new target-based drugs with better potency than existing ones. However, broader flexibility in resistance, advanced therapeutic options efficacy need be explored. Combination therapy an alternative a success rate though risk amplified side effects commonplace. Moreover, recent groundbreaking precision immune ways overcome has revolutionized anticancer greater extent only limitation individual-specific needs further attention. This review will focus on challenges opted withstand current therapies at molecular level also highlights emerging -like immunological, stem cell-based may prove have potential challenge problem resistance.

Oxidative stress (OS) is an established hallmark of cancer and neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs), which contributes to genomic instability neuronal loss. This review explores the contrasting role OS in stem cells (CSCs) NDDs. Elevated levels reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute promote tumor initiation progression CSCs, while NDDs such as Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s disease, accelerates death impairs cellular repair mechanisms. Both scenarios involve disruption delicate balance between pro-oxidant antioxidant systems, leads chronic oxidative stress. Notably, CSCs neurons display alterations redox-sensitive signaling pathways, including Nrf2 NF-κB, influence cell survival, proliferation, differentiation. Mitochondrial dynamics further illustrate these differences: enhanced function supports adaptability whereas impairments heighten vulnerability. Understanding common mechanisms OS-induced redox imbalance may provide insights for developing interventions, addressing aging hallmarks, potentially mitigating or preventing both

Abstract Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a cell remodeling process in which epithelial cells undergo reversible phenotype switch via the loss of adhesion capacity and acquisition mesenchymal characteristics. In other words, EMT activation can increase invasiveness metastatic properties, prevent sensitivity tumor to chemotherapeutics, as have higher resistance chemotherapy immunotherapy. orchestrated by complex multifactorial network, often linked episodic, transient, or partial events. A variety factors been implicated development. Based on this concept, multiple metabolic pathways master transcription factors, such Snail, Twist, ZEB, drive EMT. Emerging evidence suggests that oxidative stress plays significant role induction. One emerging theory reducing mitochondrial-derived reactive oxygen species production may contribute This review describes how are induction addresses involvement signaling pathways.
