Development of a Clinically Relevant Temozolomide-Resistant Human Glioblastoma A-172 Cell Line
Background: Glioblastoma is the most aggressive and deadly form of brain cancer, with a median survival of approximately 14 months. A major factor contributing to an unfavorable prognosis is the development of resistance to temozolomide (TMZ), the current first-line chemotherapeutic drug for glioblastoma. Thus, developing reliable preclinical models of

RNA Regulatory Networks: Key Hubs in the Panorama of Cancer and Emerging Therapeutic Targets
RNA regulatory networks play a crucial role in the initiation and progression of cancer through various modes of RNA interactions. Notably, circulating RNAs have emerged as potential biomarkers, while targeted interventions in RNA regulatory networks facilitate precise therapeutic strategies. ABSTRACT Cancer is a global health challenge. The initiation

Immune Exhaustion in Chronic Infection and Cancer: Signaling Pathways and Therapeutic Interventions
Immune exhaustion is a well‐established hallmark of both cancer and chronic infection. This review proposes a novel “infection–exhaustion–tumor axis” framework, wherein chronic pathogens (e.g., oncogenic viruses) evade immune surveillance by hijacking inflammatory signaling to drive immune cell exhaustion, thereby creating immunosuppressive niches ...

Clinical Application of Peripheral Blood Biomarkers for Solid Tumors
Peripheral blood biomarkers provide a minimally invasive, dynamic, and potentially more accurate means to obtain a comprehensive tumor profile. Technologies for detecting them are advancing, and with the help of artificial intelligence, they are being used more and more often for cancer diagnosis, prognostic assessment, and therapeutic monitoring ...

Local Anesthetics in Cancer: Mechanisms and Translational Perspectives
Local anesthetics demonstrate multifaceted antitumor effects that collectively contribute to cancer suppression. Beyond canonical sodium channel blockade, these agents exert the following pharmacological actions: inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, suppression of migration and invasion, induction of proapoptotic pathways, attenuation of ...

Targeting Tumor Dormancy and Recurrence: Molecular Mechanisms and Peptide Therapeutic Delivery
This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms that regulate tumor dormancy and its role in cancer recurrence, with emphasis on immune evasion, extracellular matrix remodeling, metabolic regulation and angiogenic switching. It further discusses emerging peptide–based therapeutic strategies aimed at detecting, modulating, and eliminating dormant tumor ...

Molecular Glue Degraders Redefining Targeted Therapies From Discovery to Therapeutic Applications
Molecular glue degraders (MGDs) constitute an emerging class of therapeutic agents poised to revolutionize the paradigm of targeted drug discovery. By reprogramming E3 ubiquitin ligases to degrade proteins of interest (POI) via a transient formation of a ternary complex mediated by protein–protein interactions, MGDs surpass the intrinsic limitations of

The X Factor in Immunity: Sex Differences Shaped by the X Chromosome
ABSTRACT There are sex differences with immune responses where females exhibit stronger immune responses compared to males. Both sex hormones and sex chromosome differences between males and females contribute to the observed sex differences with innate and adaptive immune cell composition and function.
