The Role of Exosomes in Cancer Progression and Therapy.

Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles and are crucial in intercellular communication. Interestingly, tumor-derived exosomes carry oncogenic molecules, such as proteins and microRNAs, which can reprogram recipient cells, promote angiogenesis, and stimulate cancer pre-metastatic niche, supporting cancer growth and metastasis. On the other hand, their biocompatibility, stability, and ability to cross biological barriers make them attractive candidates for drug delivery.

The Oxidative Drug Combination for Suppressing KRAS G12D Inducible Tumour Growth.

Background: Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) protein is an essential contributor to the development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). KRAS G12D and G12V mutant tumours are significant challenges in cancer therapy due to high resistance to the treatment.

Objective: To determine how effective is the ATO/D-VC combination in suppression of PDAC the mouse transgenic model.

Red blood cell ghosts as promising drug carriers to target wound infections.

Autologous red blood cell ghosts (RBC ghosts) can carry cytokines to the sites of inflammation. The targeting moiety of the RBC ghosts is associated with the nature of purulent inflammation, where the erythrocytes are phagocyted and encapsulated drugs are released. In the present study we have investigated the healing potential of RBC ghosts loaded with cytokine IL-1β and antibiotic.
