The backbone of induction therapy in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is to use an anthracycline in combination with cytarabine. Despite recent advances in AML therapy, this treatment remains the standard, and it has been largely unchanged for decades. There are few curative options for patients unfit for this treatment.

Gastrointestinal-inert prebiotic micro-composites improve the growth and community diversity of mucosal-associated bacteria.

J Control Release

Department of Biomedical Sciences, School of Infection, Inflammation, & Immunology, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK. Electronic address:

The process of microencapsulation and the development of microparticle-based drug formulations have gained increased pharmaceutical interest, particularly for drug delivery and bacterial-encapsulation purposes for probiotic delivery. Existing studies have examined microcomposite (MC) responses to gastrointestinal (GI) conditions with the aim of controlling disintegration, and thus release, across the small and large bowel. However, the delivery of MCs which remain intact, without degrading, could act as bacterial growth scaffolds or materials providing a prebiotic support, conferring potentially beneficial GI health properties.

Nanoparticles are promising for drug delivery applications, with several clinically approved products. However, attaining high nanoparticle accumulation in solid tumours remains challenging. Here we show that tumour cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) block nanoparticle delivery to tumours, unveiling another barrier to nanoparticle-based tumour therapy.

Algal oil rich in docosahexaenoic acid is easily oxidized and degraded to produce volatile short-chain compounds, leading to the deterioration of product flavor. Currently, the emulsion delivery of algal oil provides a promising approach to minimize oxidative deterioration and conceal its off-flavor. However, algal oil emulsions would also experience unanticipated oxidation as a result of the large specific surface area between the aqueous phase and the oil phase.

Article Synopsis
  • Genome editing tools like CRISPR systems, particularly CRISPR/Cas9, show promise for safe and customizable cancer therapies by targeting transcriptional abnormalities with minimal off-target effects.
  • * Despite advances, challenges remain in effectively delivering these large dCas9 fusion proteins into cancer cells, including concerns about immune responses and the complexities of viral delivery methods.
  • * The emergence of mRNA vaccine technology offers new possibilities for CRISPR/dCas9 delivery, with lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) being explored as a nonviral alternative due to their scalability and lower immunogenicity.
