Abstract Purpose: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common form of malignant glioma in adults. Although protected by both blood–brain and blood–tumor barriers, GBMs are actively infiltrated T cells. Previous work has shown that IDO, CTLA-4, PD-L1 dominant molecular participants suppression GBM immunity. This includes IDO-mediated regulatory T-cell (Treg; CD4+CD25+FoxP3+) accumulation, interaction T-cell–expressed, with dendritic cell-expressed, CD80, as well tumor- and/or macrophage-expressed,...

Glioblastoma-targeted drug delivery systems facilitate efficient of chemotherapeutic agents to malignant gliomas, while minimizing systemic toxicity and side effects. Taking advantage the fibrin deposition that is characteristic tumors, we constructed spherical, Cy7-labeled, targeting micelles glioblastoma through addition fibrin-binding pentapeptide, cysteine-arginine-glutamic acid-lysine-alanine, or CREKA. Conjugation CREKA peptide Cy7-micelles increased average particle size zeta...

As therapies continue to increase the lifespan of patients with breast cancer, incidence brain metastases has steadily increased, affecting a significant number metastatic disease. However, major barrier toward treating these lesions is inability therapeutics penetrate into central nervous system and accumulate within intracranial tumor sites. In this study, we designed cell-penetrating gold nanoparticle platform drug delivery cancer cells. TAT peptide-modified nanoparticles carrying...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease that involves excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) and osteochondral defects. Although multiple approaches have been developed for regeneration, how to balance the biochemical physical microenvironment in OA remains big challenge. In this study, bioceramic scaffold by 3D printed akermanite (AKT) integrated with hair-derived antioxidative nanoparticles (HNPs)/microparticles (HMPs) ROS scavenging regeneration has developed. The prepared bioscaffold...
