: Retrospective studies are often criticized for their susceptibility to case selection bias compared to prospective studies, which include all patients consecutively and are thus less prone to such limitations. However, the larger sample sizes typical of retrospective studies can sometimes offset this drawback. On behalf of the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL), a substantial retrospective study involving 946 patients was conducted to examine the use of non-pegylated liposomal anthracycline (Myocet).

Doxorubicin (DOX) is an important drug used in the treatment of many malignancies. Unfortunately DOX causes various side effects, with cardiotoxicity being the most characteristic. Risk factors for DOX induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) include cumulative dose of DOX, preexisting cardiovascular diseases, dyslipidemia, diabetes, smoking, along with the use of other cardiotoxic agents.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study developed PEGylated magnetic nanoniosomes (PMNios) for delivering artemisinin (ART) and metformin (MET) in cancer therapy, enhancing drug targeting and bioavailability by modifying the surface with polyethylene glycol and including magnetic nanoparticles.
  • - Evaluations showed that PMNios achieved a drug loading efficiency of 88%, with an average size of 298 nm and a stable zeta potential of -19 mV, indicating effective encapsulation and stability.
  • - In vitro tests against the A549 lung cancer cell line revealed that PMNios effectively targeted cancer cells, showing appropriate toxicity and lower levels of the anti-apoptotic Bcl2 gene compared to the pro-apoptotic Bax, especially under

Antibiotic resistance is a significant threat, leaving us vulnerable to bacterial infections. Novel strategies are needed to combat bacterial resistance beyond discovering new antibiotics. This research focuses on using maleimide conjugated PEGylated liposomes (Mal-PL-Ab) to individually encapsulate a variety of antibiotics (ceftriaxone, cephalexin, doxycycline, piperacillin, ampicillin, and ceftazidime) and enhance their delivery against multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria like Escherichia coli (E.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the highly fatal types of cancer with high mortality/incidence. Considering the crucial role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in PDAC progression, its inhibition can be a viable strategy for the treatment. Pazopanib, a second-generation VEGF inhibitor, is approved for the treatment of various oncological conditions.
