Progress in Nanotechnology for Treating Ocular Surface Chemical Injuries: Reflecting on Advances in Ophthalmology.
Adv Sci (Weinh)
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, 200011, China.
Ocular surface chemical injuries often result in permanent visual impairment and necessitate complex, long-term treatments. Immediate and extensive irrigation serves as the first-line intervention, followed by various therapeutic protocols applied throughout different stages of the condition. To optimize outcomes, conventional regimens increasingly incorporate biological agents and surgical techniques.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) represent a heterogeneous group of malignancies with multifactorial aetiologies. High-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infections, particularly HPV16, and the dysregulation of telomerase activity, specifically through its catalytic subunit, telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) are among the key contributors to HNSCC development and progression. HPV promotes oncogenesis via the E6 and E7 oncoproteins, which inactivate tumour suppressors TP53 and RB1, leading to unchecked cellular proliferation.

Hierarchically Engineered Self-Adaptive Nanoplatform Guided Intuitive and Precision Interventions for Deep-Seated Glioblastoma.
ACS Nano

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), particularly the deep-seated tumor where surgical removal is not feasible, poses great challenges for clinical treatments due to complicated biological barriers and the risk of damaging healthy brain tissue. Here, we hierarchically engineer a self-adaptive nanoplatform (SAN) that overcomes delivery barriers by dynamically adjusting its structure, surface charge, particle size, and targeting moieties to precisely distinguish between tumor and parenchyma cells. We further devise a AN-uided ntuitive and recision ntervention (SGIPi) strategy which obviates the need for sophisticated facilities, skilled operations, and real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance required by current MRI-guided laser or ultrasound interventions.

Cervical cancer is preventable with screening and vaccination approaches; however, access to these preventative measures is limited both nationally and globally and thus many women will still develop cervical cancer. Novel treatments and practice-changing research have improved cervical cancer outcomes over the past few decades. In this Review, we discuss clinical trials that have refined or redefined the treatment of cervical cancers across the early stage, locally advanced, persistent, recurrent and/or metastatic disease settings.
