Gastric cancer (GC) continues to pose a major health issue worldwide, and diagnoses made at advanced stages frequently result in unfavorable outcomes. The metastatic spread of GC presents substantial therapeutic challenges, necessitating deeper understanding the tumor microenvironment (TME) its interactions with cells. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression have been identified as key factors metastasis GC. This review explores biogenesis functional mechanisms miRNAs, highlighting their dual roles oncogenes suppressors metastasis. We discuss specific miRNAs facilitate progression by influencing pathways related invasion, angiogenesis, immune evasion. Furthermore, we examine potential diagnostic prognostic biomarkers, offering insights into utility timely identification tailored approaches. By elucidating complex regulatory networks involving this underscores significance both targets biomarkers management gastric cancer.

Prostate cancer is among most malignant tumors around the world and this urological tumor can be developed as result of genomic mutations their accumulation during progression towards advanced stage. Due to lack specific symptoms in early stages prostate cancer, patients are diagnosed that cells display low response chemotherapy. Furthermore, enhance aggressiveness cells. Docetaxel paclitaxel suggested well-known compounds for chemotherapy they possess a similar function therapy based on inhibiting depolymerization microtubules, impairing balance microtubules subsequent delay cell cycle progression.

Abstract Metastasis, the leading cause of mortality in cancer patients, presents challenges for conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT) due to its reliance on localized light and oxygen application tumors. To overcome these limitations, a self‐sustained organelle‐mimicking nanoreactor is developed here with programmable DNA switches that enables bio‐chem‐photocatalytic cascade‐driven starvation‐photodynamic synergistic against tumor metastasis. Emulating compartmentalization positional assembly strategies found living cells, this nano‐organelle reactor allows quantitative co‐compartmentalization multiple functional modules designed self‐illuminating chemiexcited PDT system. Within space‐confined nanoreactor, biofuel glucose converted hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ) which enhances luminol‐based chemiluminescence (CL), consequently driving generation photochemical singlet ( 1 via resonance energy transfer. Meanwhile, hemoglobin functions as synchronized supplier both oxidation PDT, while also exhibiting peroxidase‐like activity produce hydroxyl radicals (·OH). Crucially, keeps switching off normal tissues, on‐demand activation tumors through toehold‐mediated strand displacement. These findings demonstrate self‐sufficient precise striking tumors, promising paradigm managing highly metastatic cancers.

Abstract Ovarian cancer is one of the common tumors female reproductive organs. It has a high mortality rate, highly heterogeneous, and early detection primary prevention are very complex. Autophagy cellular process in which cytoplasmic substrates targeted for degradation lysosomes through membrane structures called autophagosomes. The periodic elimination damaged, aged, redundant molecules or organelles sequential translation between amino acids proteins by two biological processes, protein synthesis, autophagic degradation, helps maintain homeostasis. A growing number studies have found that autophagy plays key regulatory role ovarian cancer.
