TMZ magnetic temperature-sensitive liposomes-mediated magnetothermal chemotherapy induces pyroptosis in glioblastoma.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most fatal and common type of primary malignant tumors in central nervous system. Chemotherapy drugs are difficult to reach the encephalic region effectively due to blood-brain barrier (BBB), but functional nanoparticle drug carriers can help to solve the problem. Herein, we developed a controllable drug carrier called temozolomide magnetic temperature-sensitive liposomes (TMZ/Fe-TSL) to investigate its feasibility and molecular mechanisms on GBM.

Preparation and Characterization of FeO@MTX Magnetic Nanoparticles for Thermochemotherapy of Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma in vitro and in vivo.

Background: Primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSL) are extranodal malignant non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) that arise exclusively in central nervous system (CNS). Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common histological subtype.

Purpose: To evaluate whether nano drug-loading system-mediated magnetic-targeted thermochemotherapy could produce a better therapeutic effect than single chemotherapy while reducing the use of chemotherapeutic drugs.
