Tumor rim cells: From resistance to vascular targeting agents to complete tumor ablation

Tumor Biology, 2017
Current vascular targeting strategies pursue two main goals: anti-angiogenesis agents aim to halt sprouting and the formation of new blood vessels, while vascular disrupting agents along with coaguligands seek to compromise blood circulation in the ...

A simple and robust nanosystem for photoacoustic imaging of bladder cancer based on α5β1-targeted gold nanorods

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2023
Background Early detection and removal of bladder cancer in patients is crucial to prevent tumor recurrence and progression. Because current imaging techniques may fail to detect small lesions of in situ carcinomas, patients with bladder cancer often ...

Targeting tumor endothelial hyperglycolysis enhances immunotherapy through remodeling tumor microenvironment

Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2022
Vascular abnormality is a hallmark of most solid tumors and facilitates immune evasion. Targeting the abnormal metabolism of tumor endothelial cells (TECs) may provide an opportunity to improve the outcome of immunotherapy.
