Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a frequent metastatic condition in gastroesophageal cancer and is associated with poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. Here, we establish clinically relevant mouse models of peritoneal carcinomatosis to evaluate the …

Neutrophil extracellular traps induce endothelial damage and exacerbate vasospasm in traumatic brain injury …

Elucidating the complex network of communication between tumour cells is central to understanding cell fate decisions and progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)1,2. We previously showed that constant suppression of BMP activity by the BMP …

In squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), macrophages responding to interleukin (IL)-33 create a TGF-β-rich stromal niche that maintains cancer stem cells (CSCs), which evade chemotherapy-induced apoptosis in part via activation of the NRF2 antioxidant program. …

Objective: Both microbubble ultrasound contrast agents and acoustic phase change droplets (APCD) have been explored in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This work aimed to evaluate changes to the HCC microenvironment following either microbubble or APCD …

Accurately evaluating tumor neoangiogenesis and conducting precise interventions toward an immune-favorable microenvironment are of significant clinical importance. In this study, a novel nanodroplet termed as the nanodroplet-based ultrasound contrast …

The combination of photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and photothermal therapy (PTT) is an attractive approach in cancer management due to the non-invasive features combined with real-time imaging and selective tissue damage by non-ionizing radiation. This …

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality in women globally. The efficacy of breast cancer treatments, notably chemotherapy, is hampered by inadequate localized delivery of anticancer agents to the tumor site, resulting in compromised …

Long-term tumor starvation may be a potential strategy to elevate the antitumor immune response by depriving nutrients. However, combining long-term starvation therapy with immunotherapy often yields limited efficacy due to the blockage of immune cell …

Nanomaterials with unique structures and components play a crucial role in nanomedicine. In this study, we discovered that the inhomogeneous Au2S constructed by cation exchange and acid etching could dissipate energy in different forms after absorbing …
