MMP-2-triggered, mitochondria-targeted PROTAC-PDT therapy of breast cancer and brain metastases inhibition

Nature Communications
Proteolytic targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology is a protein-blocking technique and induces antitumor effects, with potential advantages. However, its effect is limited by insufficient distribution and accumulation in tumors.

Synergistic effect of doxorubicin lauroyl hydrazone derivative delivered by α-tocopherol succinate micelles for the treatment of glioblastoma

International Journal of Pharmaceutics: X, 2023
We hypothesized that tocopherol succinate (TOS) and D-α-tocopherol polyethylene2000 succinate (TPGS2000) micelles could work as a drug delivery system while enhancing the anti-cancer efficacy of doxorubicin lauryl hydrazone derivative (DOXC12) for the ...

Intratumoral immunotherapy with TLR7/8 agonist MEDI9197 modulates the tumor microenvironment leading to enhanced activity when combined with other immunotherapies

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2019
Background Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) promotes adaptive immunity and tumor regression in some cancer patients. However, in patients with immunologically “cold” tumors, tumor-resident innate immune cell activation may be required to prime an ...

Oncolytic adenovirus drives specific immune response generated by a poly-epitope pDNA vaccine encoding melanoma neoantigens into the tumor site

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2019
Background DNA vaccines against cancer held great promises due to the generation of a specific and long-lasting immune response. However, when used as a single therapy, they are not able to drive the generated immune response into the tumor, because of ...

Combining MucilAir™ and Vitrocell® Powder Chamber for the In Vitro Evaluation of Nasal Ointments in the Context of Aerosolized Pollen

Pharmaceutics, 2018
Hay fever is notoriously triggered when nasal mucosa is exposed to allergenic pollen. One possibility to overcome this pollen exposure may be the application of an ointment with physical protective effects. In this context, we have investigated Bepanthen&
