Abstract Tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex ecosystem composed of both cellular and non-cellular components that surround tumor tissue. The extracellular matrix (ECM) key component the TME, performing multiple essential functions by providing mechanical support, shaping regulating metabolism signaling, modulating immune responses, all which profoundly influence cell behavior. quantity cross-linking status stromal are primary determinants tissue stiffness. During development, ECM stiffness not only serves as barrier to hinder drug delivery but also promotes cancer progression inducing stimulation activates membrane receptors sensors. Thus, comprehensive understanding how regulates crucial for identifying potential therapeutic targets cancer. This review examines effects on progression, encompassing proliferation, migration, metastasis, resistance, angiogenesis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), evasion, stemness, metabolic reprogramming, genomic stability. Finally, we explore strategies target their implications progression.

Cancer is an impending bottleneck in the advanced scientific workflow to achieve diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic success. Most cancers are refractory conventional diagnostic chemotherapeutics due their limited targetability, specificity, solubility, side effects. The inherent ability of each cancer evolve through various genetic epigenetic transformations metabolic reprogramming underlies limitations. Though tumor microenvironments (TMEs) quite well understood some cancers, microenvironment differs from other internal perturbations skew thereby impeding development appropriate diagnostics, drugs, vaccines, therapies. associated bioenergetics modulations regulate TME, angiogenesis, immune evasion, generation resistant niches progression, a thorough understanding crucial However, this remains missing element theranostics, necessitating modalities that can be adapted for diagnostics therapeutics. In challenging scenario, nanomaterials modular platforms TME achieving successful theranostics. Several nanoscale particles have been successfully researched animal models, few reached clinical trials, achieved Nanoparticles exhibit intrinsic capability interact with diverse biomolecules modulate functions. Furthermore, nanoparticles functionalized receptors, modulators, drugs facilitate specific targeting reduced toxicity. This review discusses current different theranostic nanosystems, synthesis, functionalization, targetability modulation bioenergetics, microenvironment. We highlight potential nanosystems enhanced chemotherapeutic success emphasizing questions remain unanswered.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) drive tumor initiation, progression, and therapeutic resistance due to their self-renewal differentiation capabilities. Despite encouraging progress in cancer treatment, conventional approaches often fail eliminate CSCs, necessitating the development of precise targeted strategies. Recent advances materials science nanotechnology have enabled promising CSC-targeted approaches, harnessing power tailoring nanomaterials diverse applications. This review provides an update on current landscape nanobased precision targeting against CSCs. We elucidate nuanced application organic, inorganic, bioinspired across a spectrum paradigms, encompassing therapy, immunotherapy, multimodal synergistic therapies. By examining accomplishments challenges this potential field, we aim inform future efforts advance nanomaterial-based therapies toward more effective "sniping" CSCs clearance.
