Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant public health challenge, with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) resistance being major obstacle to effective treatment. Despite advancements, 5-FU remains formidable due complex mechanisms such as alterations in drug transport, evasion of apoptosis, dysregulation cell cycle dynamics, tumor microenvironment (TME) interactions, and extracellular vesicle (EV)-mediated pathways. Traditional chemotherapy often results high toxicity, highlighting the need for alternative approaches better efficacy safety. Phytochemicals (PCs) EVs offer promising CRC therapeutic strategies. PCs, derived from natural sources, exhibit lower toxicity can target multiple pathways involved progression resistance. facilitate targeted delivery, modulate immune response, interact TME sensitize cells However, potential PCs engineered overcoming reshaping immunosuppressive underexplored. Addressing this gap crucial identifying innovative therapies enhanced reduced toxicities. This review explores multifaceted evaluates synergistic effects combining improve treatment while minimizing adverse effects. Additionally, it investigates by serving delivery vehicles modulating TME. By synthesizing current knowledge addressing research gaps, enhances academic understanding CRC, interdisciplinary involving revolutionizing therapy.

Metal nanoclusters (NCs) have emerged as a promising class of fluorescent probes for cellular imaging due to their high resistance photobleaching and low toxicity. Nevertheless, widespread use in clinical diagnosis is limited by unstable intracellular fluorescence. In this study, we develop an intracellularly biosynthesized probe, DNA nanoribbon-gold NCs (DNR/AuNCs), long-term tracking. Our results show that DNR/AuNCs exhibit 4-fold enhancement fluorescence intensity compared free AuNCs. We also investigated the mechanism underlying AuNCs DNRs. findings suggest higher synthesis efficiency stability lysosome may contribute enhancement, which enables (up 15 days) cancer cells (enhancement ∼60 times AuNCs). Furthermore, observe similar with other metal NCs, confirming generality DNR-assisted biosynthesis approach preparing highly bright stable cell imaging.
