Article Synopsis
  • Limited treatment options for breast cancer brain metastases (BCBM) highlight the need for new therapies, leading researchers to investigate an engineered oncolytic herpes simplex virus (oHSV) that expresses an anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody.* -
  • The combination of this engineered virus (OV-αCD47-G1) with the chemotherapy drug temozolomide (TMZ) showed improved effectiveness in preclinical models, increasing macrophage and NK cell activity against breast tumor cells.* -
  • Results indicated that this combination therapy not only enhanced immune response but also significantly extended survival in tumor-bearing mice, suggesting potential benefits for BCBM patients.*

Background Aims: Several studies have shown the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy for lower extremity vascular disease (LEVD) in diabetic patients, but the results are not consistent.

Methods: Eight available databases were searched in both English and Chinese to identify RCTs comparing MSC therapy-based conventional treatment with conventional treatment alone in diabetic patients with LEVD.
