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. Additionally, would like discuss limitations methods future directions enhance beneficial effects patients GBM. Therefore, review aims research outcome GBM provide a more promising opportunity thoroughly exploring mechanisms investigating novel strategies.

Gliomas are a group of heterogeneous tumors that account for substantial morbidity, mortality, and costs to patients healthcare systems globally. Survival varies considerably by grade, histology, biomarkers, genetic alterations such as IDH mutations MGMT promoter methylation, treatment, but is poor some grades histologies, with many glioblastoma surviving less than year from diagnosis. The present review provides an introduction glioma, including its classification, epidemiology, economic humanistic burden, well treatment options. Another focus on recommendations IDH-mutant astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, glioblastoma, which were synthesized recent guidelines. While nuanced reflect the complexity disease, maximum safe resection typically first step in followed radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy using temozolomide or procarbazine, lomustine, vincristine. Immunotherapies targeted therapies currently have only limited role due disappointing clinical trial results, recurrent nitrosourea lomustine remains de facto standard care. lack options compounded frequently suboptimal practice, do not receive adequate therapy after resection, delayed, shortened, discontinued courses side effects. These unmet needs will require significant efforts address, continued search novel options, increased awareness guidelines, improved toxicity management chemotherapy, generation additional more robust health evidence.

Cancer and bacterial infections rank among the most significant global health threats. accounting for roughly 25 million fatalities each year. This statistic underscores urgent necessity developing novel drugs, enhancing current treatments, implementing systems that boost their bioavailability to achieve superior therapeutic outcomes. Liposomes have been recognised as effective carriers; nonetheless, they encounter issues with long-term stability structural integrity, which limit pharmaceutical applicability. Chitosomes (chitosan-coated liposomes) are generally a good alternative solve these issues. research aims demonstrate individual encapsulation of ciprofloxacin (antibacterial, hydrophilic) etoposide (anticancer, hydrophobic), within chitosomes create more drug delivery (oral administration ciprofloxacin, parenteral etoposide). Thus, liposomes were prepared using thin-film hydration technique characterised through ATR-FTIR, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), zeta potential, release profiling. In both cases, application enhanced in size surface charge. Chitosome-encapsulated formulations exhibited slower sustained profile, while combined effect chitosan showed heightened efficacy against glioblastoma cell line U373. Therefore, coating improved system's properties, resulting promising method delivery.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor characterized by molecular complexity and resistance to conventional treatments, including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy. Despite these challenges, advancements in receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) research, combined with multi-omics approaches, hold promise for improving patient outcomes survivability. RTKs are central GBM progression, influencing cell proliferation, survival, angiogenesis. However, the of RTK signaling necessitates a broader, integrative perspective, which has been enabled emergence -omics sciences. Multi-omics technologies—including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics—offer unprecedented insights into landscape its RTK-driven pathways. Genomic studies have revealed mutations amplifications RTK-related genes, while transcriptomics uncovered alterations gene expression patterns, providing clearer picture how aberrations drive behavior. Proteomics further delineated changes protein post-translational modifications linked signaling, highlighting novel therapeutic targets. Metabolomics complements findings identifying RTK-associated metabolic reprogramming, such as shifts glycolysis lipid metabolism, sustain growth therapy resistance.

Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is characterized by fast progression, an infiltrative growth pattern, and a high rate of relapse. A defining feature GBM the existence spatially functionally distinct cellular niches, i.e. hypoxic niche, leading-edge perivascular in which malignant cells engage paracrine crosstalk with cell types comprising tumor microenvironment. Here, analysis single-cell transcriptomic data human transgenic mouse models GBM, we unexpectedly identified pericytes, mural intimately associated endothelium, as most active signaling hub within parenchyma. Exclusive axes emanating from pericytes were received endothelial cells, astrocytes, immune cells. Depletion through genetic engineering several different orthotopic demonstrated accelerated disrupted blood-brain-barrier, premature death pericyte-poor mice. Mechanistic studies revealed that pericyte deficiency altered composition remodeled impacted on landscape, exacerbating invasion suppression. Specifically, deprived association their programs, turn attracted perivascular, tumor-associated macrophages polarized towards immune-suppressive phenotype. The recruited expressed Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF), reinforced activation its receptor tyrosine kinase MET harboring extreme mesenchymal subtype driven key phenotypic regulator Fosl1 regions. Indeed, implantation isolated, MET-expressing corroborated superior tumor-initiating capability invasive In patients, low expression core gene signature was reduced recurrent compared to primary tumors. Consistently, signatures for transcriptional programs + Met indicative poor survival tumors, spatial transcriptomics capacity. Taken together, infer represents critical modulator development orchestrating tumor-suppressive microenvironment; our findings thus highlight importance preservation face current future therapies.
