Designing and Immunomodulating Multiresponsive Nanomaterial for Cancer Theranostics

Abstract

Cancer has been widely investigated yet limited in its manifestation. Cancer treatment holds innovative and futuristic strategies considering high disease heterogeneity. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery are the most explored pillars; however optimal therapeutic window and patient compliance recruit constraints. Recently evolved immunotherapy demonstrates a vital role of the host immune system to prevent metastasis recurrence, still undesirable clinical response and autoimmune adverse effects remain unresolved. Overcoming these challenges, tunable biomaterials could effectively control the co-delivery of anticancer drugs and immunomodulators. Current status demands a potentially new approach for minimally invasive, synergistic, and combinatorial nano-biomaterial assisted targeted immune-based treatment including therapeutics, diagnosis and imaging. This review discusses the latest findings of engineering biomaterial with immunomodulating properties and implementing novel developments in designing versatile nanosystems for cancer theranostics. We explore the functionalization of nanoparticle for delivering antitumor therapeutic and diagnostic agents promoting immune response. Through understanding the efficacy of delivery system, we have enlightened the applicability of nanomaterials as immunomodulatory nanomedicine further advancing to preclinical and clinical trials. Future and present ongoing improvements in engineering biomaterial could result in generating better insight to deal with cancer through easily accessible immunological interventions.

Influence of Surface States on the Optical and Cellular Property of Thermally Stable Red Emissive Graphitic Carbon Dots

“…Intracellular acidification has been proven to be closely related to cell apoptosis. Similarly, in cancer therapy, the temperature during the therapy can vary, , and, in this case, the material needs to be stable across a range of temperatures to avoid any false signal. The effect of varying pH and temperature on the fluorescence of synthesized CDs was studied.…”

Effects of morphology and size of nanoscale drug carriers on cellular uptake and internalization process: a review

“…130 Disc-shaped MSNs with a large surface area due to porosity emerged with higher cell uptake than spherical counterparts. 131,132 Concise information about the preparation conditions, the material's origination, and shape and size of the nanocarriers are presented in Table 1.…”

Influence of PEGylation on WS2 Nanosheets and Its Application in Photothermal Therapy

“…According to GLOBOCAN 2020, cancer was one of the most devastating diseases causing approximately 10 million deaths worldwide in 2020 alone . Surgical, radiation, and chemotherapy treatments for cancer involve a variety of side effects . Photothermal therapy (PTT) has been developed as a novel noninvasive therapeutic method that uses near-infrared (NIR) lasers to generate heat for the thermal ablation of cancer cells.…”
