Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLCs) represent a promising advancement in the treatment of breast cancer, addressing the significant challenges posed by conventional chemotherapy, such as poor drug solubility, short half-lives, and high toxicity. This review delves into the potential of NLCs to overcome these limitations, highlighting their unique structure comprising a solid and lipid liquid core stabilized by surfactants. By examining diverse lipid blends used in the preparation of NLCs, the article emphasizes their suitability for targeted drug delivery.

Carfilzomib is a tetrapeptide epoxyketone that has shown potential clinical outcomes in the treatment of multiple myeloma. However, inaccuracies in quantifying such peptide drug products have arisen due to poor stability, low solubility, time-consuming techniques, complex physicochemical properties, and use of non-green solvents with less recyclability. This provides a substantial urge to develop an ecological and sensitive analytical method for quantifying peptide drugs from matrix formulation and biological samples in early as well as lateral stages of product development in pharma industries.

Even though the precise pathophysiology of AD is not completely understood, clinical trials focused on antibodies targeting aggregated forms of β amyloid (Aβ) have demonstrated that reducing amyloid plaques can arrest cognitive decline in patients in the early stages of AD. In this study, we provide an overview of current research and innovations for controlled release from nano-biomaterial-assisted chimeric antigen receptor macrophage (CAR-M) therapeutic strategies targeted at AD.

Purpose: SABR is growingly accepted for the treatment of localized prostate cancer with recent randomized trials showing noninferiority compared with conventional or moderately hypofractionated radiation therapy. The natural history of prostate cancer necessitates extended surveillance for recurrence; however, there are a few prospective studies reporting long-term outcomes.
Methods And Materials: This study included patients with low- and intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer from 3 Canadian clinical trials enrolled from 2006 to 2013.

Background: Cancer is a life-threatening disease prevalent worldwide, but its proper treatment has not yet been developed. Conventional therapies, like chemotherapy, sur-gery, and radiation, have shown relapse and drug resistance. Nanomedicine comprising cancer theranostics based on imaging probes functionalized with polymeric nanoconjugates is acquir-ing importance due to its targeting capability, biodegradability, biocompatibility, capacity for drug loading, and long blood circulation time.
