Advancing the Battle against Cystic Fibrosis: Stem Cell and Gene Therapy Insights.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a hereditary disorder characterized by mutations in the CFTR gene, leading to impaired chloride ion transport and subsequent thickening of mucus in various organs, particularly the lungs. Despite significant progress in CF management, current treatments focus mainly on symptom relief and do not address the underlying genetic defects. Stem cell and gene therapies present promising avenues for tackling CF at its root cause.

The scaffold protein disabled 2 (DAB2) and its role in tumor development and progression.

Background: Disabled 2 (DAB2) is a multifunctional protein that has emerged as a critical component in the regulation of tumor growth. Its dysregulation is implicated in various types of cancer, underscoring its importance in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying tumor development and progression. This review aims to unravel the intricate molecular mechanisms by which DAB2 exerts its tumor-suppressive functions within cancer signaling pathways.

The future of cancer immunotherapy: DNA vaccines leading the way.

Immuno-oncology has revolutionized cancer treatment and has opened up new opportunities for developing vaccination methods. DNA-based cancer vaccines have emerged as a promising approach to activating the bodily immune system against cancer. Plasmid DNA immunizations have shown a favorable safety profile and there occurs induction of generalized as well as tailored immune responses in preclinical and early-phase clinical experiments.

Establishing the applicability of cancer vaccines in combination with chemotherapeutic entities: current aspect and achievable prospects.

Cancer immunotherapy is one of the recently developed cancer treatment modalities. When compared with conventional anticancer drug regimens, immunotherapy has shown significantly better outcomes in terms of quality of life and overall survival. It incorporates a wide range of immunomodulatory modalities that channel the effects of the immune system either by broadly modulating the host immune system or by accurately targeting distinct tumor antigens.

Contracting triple-negative breast cancer with immunotherapeutic armamentarium: recent advances and clinical prospects.

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) portraying deficient expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is known to be the most aggressive subtype associated with poor prognosis and interventional strategies limited to chemotherapy and breast conserving surgery. Some TNBC incidences have also been reported with positive circ-HER2 expression thus rendering circ-HER2 a potential immunotherapy target to direct drug development. Resistance and recurrence reported with traditional approaches has led us towards the application of immunotherapeutic interventions owing to their anti-tumor efficacy.

Unveiling the antibody-drug conjugates portfolio in battling Triple-negative breast cancer: Therapeutic trends and Future horizon.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) showcases a labyrinthine network exhibiting deficient expression of Estrogen receptor (ER), Progesterone receptor (PR), and Human-epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2). This restricts the conventional chemotherapeutic, hormonal, and few targeted regimens in showing efficient anti-tumor response. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are target-specific conjugates comprising a monoclonal antibody attached to the desired cytotoxic payload with the support of a stable linker.
