The emerging field of senolytics is centered on eliminating senescent cells to block their contribution to the progression of age-related diseases, including cancer, and to facilitate healthy aging. Enhancing the selectivity of senolytic treatments toward senescent cells stands to reduce the adverse effects associated with existing senolytic interventions. Taking advantage of lipofuscin accumulation in senescent cells, we describe here the development of a highly efficient senolytic platform consisting of a lipofuscin-binding domain scaffold, which can be conjugated with a senolytic drug via an ester bond.

Background: Peritoneal metastasis is common in gastric cancer and linked to poor survival. Treatment of peritoneal metastasis with intraperitoneal chemotherapy has become an accepted practice in some centres. This systematic review and meta-analysis intends to provide a comprehensive evaluation of published evidence for the use of intraperitoneal chemotherapy is gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis.

Senescence is an inherent cellular mechanism triggered as a response to stressful insults. It associates with several aspects of cancer progression and therapy. Senescent cells constitute a highly heterogeneous cellular population and their identification can be very challenging.

Article Synopsis
  • - The DEBIOC trial explored the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant treatment using oxaliplatin and capecitabine (Xelox) with or without AZD8931 in patients with oesophageal adenocarcinoma, showing moderate safety but limited effectiveness.
  • - Researchers analyzed genetic data from 25 pre-treatment and 18 post-treatment biopsy samples to examine how these treatments influenced biological pathways related to cancer through advanced software tools.
  • - Their findings identified three molecular subgroups linked to immune response, with treatment affecting immune signaling and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, while the addition of AZD8931 promoted a less favorable immunosuppressive environment and common cancer resistance mechanisms.
