Gliomas are the most common type of brain cancer, and among them, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is prevalent (about 60% cases) aggressive primary tumor. The treatment GBM a major challenge due to pathophysiological characteristics disease, such as presence blood-brain barrier (BBB), which prevents regulates passage substances from bloodstream parenchyma, making many chemotherapeutics currently available not able reach in therapeutic concentrations, accumulating non-target organs, causing considerable adverse effects for patient. In this scenario, nanocarriers emerge tools capable improving bioavailability chemotherapeutics, addition their biodistribution enhancing uptake cells. This possible its nanometric size surface modification strategies, can actively target elements overexpressed by cells (such transmembrane receptors) related development, drug resistance, poor prognosis. review, an overview frequently receptors approaches chemotherapeutic delivery active targeting using will be presented.

At present, extracellular vesicles (EVs) are considered key candidates for cell-free therapies, including treatment of allergic and autoimmune diseases. However, their therapeutic effectiveness, dependent on proper targeting to the desired cells, is significantly limited due reduced bioavailability resulting from rapid clearance by cells mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS). Thus, developing strategies avoid EV elimination essential when applying them in clinical practice. On other hand, malfunctioning MPS contributes various immune-related pathologies. Therapeutic reversal these effects with EVs would be beneficial could achieved, example, modulating macrophage phenotype or regulating antigen presentation dendritic cells. Additionally, intended macrophages replication repackaging molecules into new vesicle subtype can allow specific appropriate populations acceptor Herein, we briefly discuss under-explored aspects MPS-EV interactions that undoubtedly require further research order accelerate use EVs.

Abstract Oxygen as one of the most critical substances in living organisms has attracted ever‐increasing attention disease treatment, which is important regulating metabolic activities. However, hypoxia arising from a prevalent problem, leading to observably reduced therapeutic effectiveness photodynamic therapy, radiotherapy, sonodynamic etc. Therefore, reversion becomes basis for enhancing treatment. Thanks development nanotechnology, various nanomaterials with oxygen‐production capacity are explored recover function oxygen tissue, but there still some limitations. The photosynthetic microorganisms (PSMs) extensively applied improving diseases due their highly efficient photocatalytic production efficacy and desirable biocompatibility. In this review, up‐to‐date research progress on modalities microbial‐based oxygenation (e.g., cancer wound healing, tissue engineering) summarized highlighted. addition, key issue biocompatibility/biosafety treatment that fundamental apply vivo further emphasized clarified. Finally, present issues discussed future evolution based predicted, promoting clinical applications.
