Potential of Cycloaddition Reactions To Generate Cytotoxic Metal Drugs In Vitro

Paul Joseph Dyson, Sviatlana Siankevich, Benjamin Samuel Murray, Stéphanie Crot

Severe general toxicity issues blight many chemotherapeutics utilized in the treatment of cancers, resulting in the need for more selective drugs able to exert their biological activity at only the required location(s). Toward this aim, we report the devel ...

Investigating the Optimal Size of Anticancer Nanomedicine

Li Tang, Hui Wang

Nanomedicines (NMs) offer new solutions for cancer diagnosis and therapy. However, extension of progression-free interval and overall survival time achieved by Food and Drug Administration-approved NMs remain modest. To develop next generation NMs to achie ...

Low-Dose Vascular Photodynamic Therapy Decreases Tumor Interstitial Fluid Pressure, which Promotes Liposomal Doxorubicin Distribution in a Murine Sarcoma Metastasis Model

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Laurent Décosterd, Jean Yannis Perentes

Solid tumors are known to have an abnormal vasculature that limits the distribution of chemotherapy. We have recently shown that tumor vessel modulation by low-dose photodynamic therapy (L-PDT) could improve the uptake of macromolecular chemotherapeutic ag ...

Complex metastatic niches: already a target for therapy?

Paloma Ordonez Moran

Metastatic spread is an inefficient process which requires generation of supportive microenvironments in which cancer cells can survive, proliferate and escape from immune attack. These niches are induced by systemic and locally produced factors and establ ...

Targeting the tumor-draining lymph node with adjuvanted nanoparticles reshapes the anti-tumor immune response

Efthymia Vokali, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Amanda Waite Lund, Susan Thomas

Accumulating evidence implicates the tumor-draining lymph node (TDLN) in tumor-induced immune escape, as it drains regulatory molecules and leukocytes from the tumor microenvironment. We asked whether targeted delivery of adjuvant to the TDLN, presumably a ...

Modeling Tumor Microenvironments In Vitro

Melody Swartz, Mingming Wu

Tumor progression depends critically upon the interactions between the tumor cells and their microenvironment. The tumor microenvironment is heterogeneous and dynamic; it consists of extracellular matrix, stromal cells, immune cells, progenitor cells, and ...

MicroRNA-mediated control of macrophages and its implications for cancer

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Martin Etzrodt

Deregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) can drive oncogenesis, tumor progression, and metastasis by acting cell-autonomously in cancer cells. However, solid tumors are also infiltrated by large amounts of non-neoplastic stromal cells, including macrophages, whi ...

Live mammalian cell arrays

Matthias Lütolf, Sebastian Maerkl, Samy Gobaa, Kristina Pan Woodruff, Luis Miguel Fidalgo Rabanera

High-content assays have the potential to drastically increase throughput in cell biology and drug discovery, but handling and culturing large libraries of cells such as primary tumor or cancer cell lines requires expensive, dedicated robotic equipment. We ...

Solute carriers (SLCs) in cancer

Pascale Anderle Pedone

During tumor progression cells acquire an altered metabolism, either as a cause or as a consequence of an increased need of energy and nutrients. All four major classes of macromolecules are affected: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. As a ...

Tumor angiogenesis is enforced by autocrine regulation of high-mobility group box 1

Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

The endothelium plays a pivotal role in the progression of solid tumors and is considered a highly relevant target for therapy. However, it emerges that current clinical angiogenesis inhibitors that act through inhibition of tumor-derived growth factors ar ...
