Medicinal plants are crucial in the comprehensive treatment of anti-tumor with the advantages of high efficacy, low toxicity, multiple pathways and multi-targets synergy, leading to be a focal point of study for many oncologists. Identifying effective monomer components with anti-tumor properties from medicinal plants has long been a crucial focus in the study and development of traditional Chinese medicine. This endeavor has significant research value and promising possibilities for further advancement. Asiatic Acid (AA), a pentacyclic triterpenoid derived from (L.) Urb, is used in traditional Chinese medicine and has been shown to have anti-tumor properties on a range of tumor types. The present study assessed the anti-tumor properties of AA from five different perspectives: inhibiting proliferation, inducing apoptosis, inhibiting invasion and metastasis, regulating cell autophagy, enhancing the resistance of tumor cells to drugs, and minimizing adverse side effects.

Introduction: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) frequently invades the jaw, and surgical treatment often leads to bone defects requiring reconstruction with titanium plates. To enhance the anti-tumor and bone regeneration properties of titanium, a selenium-modified hydroxyapatite coating was developed on titanium surfaces.
Methods: Selenium-modified hydroxyapatite coatings was fabricated using micro-arc oxidation (MAO).

In recent years, nanobiotechnology, widely used in hepatoma, holds great promise for improving targeted hepatocarcinoma therapy. On account of the unique properties of low toxicity, good tolerance, biocompatibility, and biodegradability of new nanomaterials, a targeted drug delivery system (TDDS) has been constructed, which can boost the therapeutic effect of hepatoma-targeted drugs, reduce drug toxicity, and minimize off target reactions by enhancing permeability retention effect (EPR) and active targeting, thus improving existing liver cancer targeted therapy strategies. Different nanoparticles have their own advantages and disadvantages.
