Currently, liposomes have emerged as efficient and safer nano-carriers for targeted therapy in different cancers. This work aimed to employ PEGylated liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil®/PLD), modified with AR13 peptide, to target Muc1 on the surface of colon cancerous cells. We performed molecular docking and simulation studies (using Gromacs package) of AR13 peptide against Muc1 to analyze and visualize the peptide-Muc1 binding combination.

Article Synopsis
  • This study looked for a better way to target cancer treatments to specific cells by using a special peptide called FA12.
  • Researchers created a new type of liposome (a tiny bubble) filled with a medicine called doxorubicin and added the FA12 peptide to it.
  • The results showed that this new treatment method was more effective in attacking cancer cells and helped mice with cancer live longer compared to other treatments.

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) infection is mostly caused by and affects countries worldwide. Despite the need for a safe and effective vaccine against leishmaniasis due to the increased drug resistance, however, no vaccine has yet been licensed for clinical use. This study revolves around the immunoinformatics approach to design a multi-epitope vaccine against VL infection.
