Biomimetic Macrophage Membrane-Camouflaged Nanoparticles Induce Ferroptosis by Promoting Mitochondrial Damage in Glioblastoma.

The increasing understanding of ferroptosis has indicated its role and therapeutic potential in cancer; however, this knowledge has yet to be translated into effective therapies. Glioblastoma (GBM) patients face a bleak prognosis and encounter challenges due to the limited treatment options available. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screening in the presence of a ferroptosis inducer (RSL3) to identify the key driver genes involved in ferroptosis.

Kill two birds with one stone: Engineered exosome-mediated delivery of cholesterol modified YY1-siRNA enhances chemoradiotherapy sensitivity of glioblastoma.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant tumor of the central nervous system in adults. Irradiation (IR) and temozolomide (TMZ) play an extremely important role in the treatment of GBM. However, major impediments to effective treatment are postoperative tumor recurrence and acquired resistance to chemoradiotherapy.

Targeting radiation-tolerant persister cells as a strategy for inhibiting radioresistance and recurrence in glioblastoma.

Background: Compelling evidence suggests that glioblastoma (GBM) recurrence results from the expansion of a subset of tumor cells with robust intrinsic or therapy-induced radioresistance. However, the mechanisms underlying GBM radioresistance and recurrence remain elusive. To overcome obstacles in radioresistance research, we present a novel preclinical model ideally suited for radiobiological studies.

LncRNA promotes the malignant progression of colorectal cancer by regulating the miR-214-5p-JAG1 axis.

Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently been found to be vital regulators of various cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC). It has been previously reported that the dysregulated expression of lncRNA Five prime to Xist () is involved in carcinogenesis. However, the role of lncRNA in the progression of CRC is still unclear.

Development of a high-throughput fluorescence polarization assay for the discovery of EZH2-EED interaction inhibitors.

Aberrant activity of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is associated with a wide range of human cancers. The interaction of EZH2 with embryonic ectoderm development (EED) is required for EZH2's catalytic activity. Inhibition of the EZH2-EED complex thus represents a novel strategy for interfering with the oncogenic potentials of EZH2 by targeting both its catalytic and non-catalytic functions.
