Numerous scientific and medical domains have been revolutionized by nanotechnology, opening up unprecedented opportunities for healthcare applications. Among these developments, the creation of nanorobots for artificial blood components is a novel field of research that seeks to overcome the constraints of conventional pharmacological therapy. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the nanorobotic artificial blood components and their therapeutic uses. The article begins by outlining the core concepts of nanotechnology and nanorobotic systems, emphasizing their design and control methods. It then delves into various types of nanorobotic artificial blood components, such as oxygen transporters (artificial RBCs), clotting agents (artificial platelets), and immune modulators (artificial WBCs). It goes into detail about their properties, functioning, and capabilities, which allow them to replicate the physiological activities of actual blood components. The article also assesses the clinical uses of artificial blood components in a variety of medical circumstances. It highlights their potential value in the management of certain blood-related diseases.

Parasitic helminths have evolved a plethora of elegant stratagems to regulate and evade the host immune system, contributing to their considerable persistence and longevity in their vertebrate hosts. Various mechanisms to achieve this state have been described, ranging from interfering with or actively modulating host immune responses to hiding from immune recognition. Because they damage surrounding vessels and disturb blood flow, blood-borne and blood-feeding parasites in particular must deal with much more than immune effector cells.

Background: The lack of predictive biomarkers contributes notably to the poor outcomes of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the key components of the prominent PDAC stroma. Data on clinical relevance of CAFs entering the bloodstream, known as circulating CAFs (cCAFs) are scarce.

Background: Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression on immune cells is correlated with the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy in various types of cancer. Platelets are important components of the tumour microenvironment (TME) and are widely involved in the development of many types of cancer including colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the role of PD-L1 positive platelets in ICI therapy for CRC remains unknown.
