Liver damage resulting from the administration of various allopathic drugs and their associated toxicity has become a major health problem, leading to hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis, metabolic disorders. This epidemic condition liver disease represents global cause death morbidity. Although orthotopic transplantation remains vital treatment option for fibrotic conditions, its efficacy is limited by organ scarcity risk immunological rejection. Consequently, alternative therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Cell-based therapy utilizing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) garnered considerable interest as promising modality. MSCs exhibit immunomodulatory properties can differentiate into hepatocytes, thus facilitating regeneration damaged hepatocytes increasing residual hepatocyte proliferation while inhibiting activation or apoptosis stellate cells. However, despite potential benefits, transplanted often low survival rates due inadequate oxidative inflammatory stress resistance. Plants harbor diverse array bioactive compounds known possess hepatoprotective antioxidant properties. Nanomaterials play crucial role in regenerative medicine providing targeted delivery agents scaffolds tissue engineering. In treating liver, nanomaterials help mitigate fibrosis progression promote through controlled release anti-fibrotic growth factors. review highlights synergistic cell-based therapy, natural antioxidants, differentiation factors, nanotechnology combating advancing medicine.

Malignant gliomas present great difficulties in treatment, with little change over the past 30 years median survival time of 15 months. Current treatment options include surgery, radiotherapy (RT), and chemotherapy. New therapies aimed at suppressing formation new vasculature (antiangiogenic treatments) or destroying formed tumor (vascular disrupting agents) show promise. This study summarizes existing knowledge regarding processes by which glioblastoma (GBM) tumors acquire resistance to antiangiogenic treatments. The discussion encompasses activation redundant proangiogenic pathways, heightened cell invasion metastasis, induced hypoxia, creation vascular mimicry channels, regulation immune microenvironment. Subsequently, we explore potential strategies overcome this resistance, such as combining other methods, personalizing treatments for each patient, focusing on therapeutic targets, incorporating immunotherapy, utilizing drug delivery systems based nanoparticles.
