The inhibitory effects of hybrid liposomes composed of lipids having a variety of head groups (zwitterionic L-alpha-dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC), anionic L-alpha-dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol (DMPG), and cationic 1,2-dimyristoyl-3-trimethylammonium propane (DMTAP)) and polyoxyethylene (10) dodecyl ether (C12(EO)10) on the growth of tumor cells (human lung carcinoma (RERF-LC-OK), human hepatoma (Hep-G2), human stomach tumor (GT3TKB)) in vitro were examined. The hybrid liposomes of DMPC/10 mol% C12(EO)10 and DMPG/10 mol% C12(EO)10 were fairly more effective for inhibiting the growth of all tumor cells employed in this study as compared with liposomes (DMPC and DMPG) or micelles (C12(EO)10). Especially, it is attractive that the highly specific inhibitory effect of the hybrid liposomes of DMPG/10 mol% C12(EO)10 without any antitumor drugs on the growth of RERF-LC-OK and GT3TKB was obtained for the first time.

Liposomes are gaining interest in food and pharmaceutical applications due to their biocompatibility and non-toxicity. However, they suffer from low colloidal stability, leakage of encapsulated substances, and poor resistance to intestinal digestive conditions. To address these issues, propolis extract (PE) was encapsulated within a hybrid system combining liposomes and hydrogels.

Pyroptosis is a key mode of programmed cell death during the early stages following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), driving immune-inflammatory responses. Cardiac resident macrophages (CRMs) are the primary mediators of cardiac immunity, and they serve a dual role through their shaping of both myocardial injury and post-AMI myocardial repair. To appropriately regulate AMI-associated inflammation, HM4oRL is herein designed, an innovative bifunctional therapeutic nanoplatform capable of inhibiting cardiomyocyte pyroptosis while reprogramming inflammatory signaling.

Cytotoxic DNAs, methylation, histones and histones binding proteins are speculated to induce DNA sensors. Under stressed condition, the antigenic patterns, PAMPs and DAMPs, trigger the hyperactive innate response through DNA, DNA-RNA hybrids, oligonucleotides, histones and mtDNA to initiate cGAMP-STING-IFN I cascade. HSV -1&2, HIV, Varicella- Zoster virus, Polyomavirus, Cytomegalovirus, and KSHV negatively regulate the STING-MAVS-TBK-1/1KKE pathway.
