Abstract Esophageal cancer (EC) treatment via anti‐angiogenic therapy faces challenges due to non‐cytotoxicity and non‐specific biodistribution of the agents. Hence, quest for a synergistic modality targeted delivery approach effectively address EC has become imperative. In this study, an acid‐responsive release nanosystem (Bev‐IR820@Fe III TA) that involves conjugation bevacizumab, monoclonal antibody, with TA Fe 3+ form metal‐phenolic network, followed by loading near‐infrared photothermal agent (IR820) achieve combinational therapy, is designed. The construction Bev‐IR820@Fe can be realized through facile self‐assembly process. exhibits tumor‐targeting capabilities therapeutic effects, encompassing (PTT), ferroptosis (FT). remarkable proficiency in delivering drugs tissue its pH‐responsive properties. Consequently, bevacizumab exerts effects obstructing tumor angiogenesis, thereby impeding growth. Meanwhile, PTT facilitates localized thermal ablation at site, directly eradicating cells. FT synergistically collaborates PTT, giving rise formation reactive oxygen species (ROS) storm, subsequently culminating demise summary, amalgamated carries substantial promise progression showcases auspicious prospects future treatment.

The interplay between vascularization and macrophage-induced immune suppression plays a crucial role in melanoma treatment. In this study, we propose novel combination approach to combat by simultaneously inhibiting tumor enhancing macrophage-mediated anti-tumor responses. We investigate the potential of combining combretastatin A4 (CA4), vascular-disrupting agent, with poly(I:C) (PIC), an immunostimulatory adjuvant. This effectively suppresses cell proliferation, disrupts vascularization, promotes macrophage polarization towards M1 phenotype for suppression. To facilitate efficient co-delivery CA4 PIC enhanced anti-angiogenic immunotherapy, develop injectable metal-organic framework hydrogel using Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8) hyaluronic acid (HA) (ZIF-8/HA). Our findings demonstrate that ZIF-8 enables loading enhances stability against RNAase degradation

Glioblastomas (GBMs), among the most aggressive and resilient brain tumors, characteristically exhibit high angiogenic potential, leading to formation of a dense yet aberrant vasculature, both morphologically functionally. With these premises, numerous expectations were initially placed on anti-angiogenic therapies, soon dashed by their limited efficacy in concretely improving patient outcomes. Neovascularization GBM emerged as complex, dynamic, heterogeneous process, hard manage with classical standard care. Growing evidence has revealed existence non-canonical strategies angiogenesis, variously exploited meet its ever-increasing metabolic demand differently involved tumor progression, recurrence, escape from treatments. In this review, we provide an accurate description each neovascularization mode encountered tumors date, highlighting molecular players signaling cascades primarily involved. We also detail key architectural functional aspects characteristic vascular compartment because intricate crosstalk between different networks. Additionally, explore repertoire emerging therapies against that are currently under study, concluding question: faced such challenging scenario, could combined tailored patient’s genetic signatures, represent effective game changer?

Angiogenesis significantly influences the carcinogenesis of thymic epithelial tumors (TET). Both thymomas and carcinoma (TC) overexpress VEGF-A VEGFR-1 -2. This review aims to provide an appraisal use anti-angiogenics in treatment TET. The literature research identified 16 studies that were deemed eligible for further analysis. Seven assessed clinical efficacy sunitinib five apatinib and/or anlotinib. multicenter Japanese phase II REMORA trial investigated lenvatinib, which is a multi-targeted inhibitor VEGFR, FGFR, RET, c-Kit, other kinases. objective response rate was 38% (25.6-52%), highest documented TET progressed after first-line chemotherapy. Anti-angiogenic agents may be useful TET, are not amenable curative treatment. Their toxicity profile seems acceptable. However, angiogenesis inhibitors do appear have major influence on either or TC, although multikinase some effect TC. current evidence suggests most active agent whereas could proposed as acceptable second-line therapy Further concerning combination immune checkpoint with anti-angiogenic drugs warranted.

Abstract The infected chronic wound area has a unique microenvironment featuring hypoxia, excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), and inflammatory conditions. Bacteria‐formed biofilms limit the anti‐inflammation efficiency of most therapeutics by hindering their penetration into deep tissues increasing drug resistance. unitary modulation pro‐inflammatory M1 macrophage polarization cannot relieve inflammation immediately. Here, “all in one” folic acid‐modified small organic molecule‐based nanoparticles (2TT‐ m C6B@CeO 2 @FA, PCFs) are developed, which possess dual‐targeting to bacteria macrophages, double photothermal therapy (PTT), enzymatic‐like activities. Based on considerable catalase‐ superoxide dismutase‐like activities, PCFs can efficiently scavenge ROS produce (O ). generated O automatically drive movement as nanomotors further promote rescue hypoxia. scavenging promotes macrophages polarized anti‐inflammatory M2 macrophages. study also identifies that FA‐modified target selectively eliminate through PTT, relieves healing.
