Int J Pharm 2024; 659:124245. [PMID: 38772497 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124245] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024]
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a chemotherapeutic drug used in osteosarcoma treatments, usually administrated in very high dosages. This study proposes novel DOX microcarriers based on chitosan (CHT) physically crosslinked with copper(II) ions that will act synergically to inhibit tumor growth at lower drug dosage without affecting the healthy cells. Spherical CHT-Cu microparticles with a smooth surface and an average size of 30.1 ± 9.1 µm were obtained by emulsion. The release of Cu2+ ions from the CHT-Cu microparticles showed that 99.4 % of added cupric ions were released in 72 h of incubation in a complete cell culture medium (CCM). DOX entrapment in microparticles was conducted in a phosphate buffer solution (pH 6), utilizing the pH sensitivity of the polymer. The successful drug-loading process was confirmed by DOX emitting red fluorescence from drug-loaded microcarriers (DOX@CHT-Cu). The drug release in CCM showed an initial burst release, followed by sustained release. Biological assays indicated mild toxicity of CHT-Cu microparticles on the MG-63 osteosarcoma cell line, without affecting the viability of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). The DOX@CHT-Cu microparticles at concentration of 0.5 mg mL‒1 showed selective toxicity toward MG-63 cells.

Mefenamic acid exhibits antitumor activity against osteosarcoma by impeding cell growth and prompting apoptosis in human osteosarcoma cells and xenograft mice model. Chem Biol Interact 2024; 393:110931. [PMID: 38423378 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2024.110931] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
The study investigates the anticancer activity of mefenamic acid against osteosarcoma, shedding light on its underlying mechanisms and therapeutic potential. Mefenamic acid exhibited robust inhibitory effects on the proliferation of MG-63, HOS, and H2OS osteosarcoma cells in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, mefenamic acid induced cellular toxicity in MG63 cells, as evidenced by LDH leakage, reflecting its cytotoxic impact. Furthermore, mefenamic acid effectively suppressed the migration and invasion of MG-63 cells. Mechanistically, mefenamic acid induced apoptosis in MG-63 cells through mitochondrial depolarization, activation of caspase-dependent pathways, and modulation of the Bcl-2/Bax axis. Additionally, mefenamic acid promoted autophagy and inhibited the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, further contributing to its antitumor effects. The molecular docking studies provide compelling evidence that mefenamic acid interacts specifically and strongly with key proteins in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, suggesting a novel mechanism by which mefenamic acid could exert anti-osteosarcoma effects. In vivo studies using a xenograft mouse model demonstrated significant inhibition of MG-63 tumor growth without adverse effects, supporting the translational potential of mefenamic acid as a safe and effective therapeutic agent against osteosarcoma. Immunohistochemistry staining corroborated the in vivo findings, highlighting mefenamic acid's ability to suppress tumor proliferation and inhibit the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway within the tumor microenvironment. Collectively, these results underscore the promising therapeutic implications of mefenamic acid in combating osteosarcoma, warranting further investigation for clinical translation and development.

Abstract
Breast cancer is resistant to conventional treatments due to the specific tumour microenvironment, the associated acidic pH and the overexpression of receptors that enhance cells tumorigenicity. Herein, we optimized the synthesis of acidic resorbable calcium carbonate (CaCO3) nanoparticles and the encapsulation of a low molecular weight model molecule (Rhodamine). The addition of ethylene glycol during the synthetic process resulted in a particle size decrease: we obtained homogeneous CaCO3 particles with an average size of 564 nm. Their negative charge enabled the assembly of layer-by-layer (LbL) coatings with surface-exposed hyaluronic acid (HA), a ligand of tumour-associated receptor CD44. The coating decreased Rhodamine release by two-fold compared to uncoated nanoparticles. We demonstrated the effect of nanoparticles on two breast cancer cell lines with different aggressiveness - SK-BR-3 and the more aggressive MDA-MB-231 - and compared them with the normal breast cell line MCF10A. CaCO3 nanoparticles (coated and uncoated) significantly decreased the metabolic activity of the breast cancer cells. The interactions between LbL-coated nanoparticles and cells depended on HA expression on the cell surface: more particles were observed on the surface of MDA-MB-231 cells, which had the thickest endogenous HA coating. We concluded that CaCO3 nanoparticles are potential candidates to carry low molecular weight chemotherapeutics and deliver them to aggressive breast cancer sites with an HA-abundant pericellular matrix.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the biocompatibility, antibacterial/anti-biofilm effects of ciprofloxacin-loaded calcium carbonate (Cip- loaded CaCO3) nanoparticles against the common organisms responsible for osteomyelitis. The antibacterial and biofilm inhibitory activities were studied by determination of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum biofilm inhibitory concentrations (MBICs), respectively. Hemolytic effects were determined for studying hemocompatibility. The SDS-PAGE method was used to study the interaction of Cip- loaded CaCO3 with plasma proteins. The effects of Cip- loaded CaCO3 on the cell viability of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) was detected. The Cip- loaded CaCO3 nanoparticles were shown a significant antimicrobial effect at lower concentrations than free ciprofloxacin. No significant hemolytic effect was observed. The Cip- loaded CaCO3 nanoparticles have shown interaction with apolipoprotein A1 (28 kDa) and albumin (66.5 kDa). The viability of hBM-MSCs treated with Cip- loaded CaCO3 was more than 96%. Our results indicated that Cip-loaded CaCO3 nanoparticles had favorable in vitro compatibility with human red blood cells, antimicrobial effects, and low cytotoxicity.

Antibacterial and biofilm-inhibitory effects of vancomycin-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles on methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative bacteria. Arch Microbiol 2023; 205:109.

Abstract
The present study aimed to prepare and characterize vancomycin-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Van-MSNs) to detect inhibitory effects on the planktonic and biofilm forms of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates, and study the biocompatibility and toxicity of Van-MSNs in vitro as well as antibacterial activity of Van-MSNs against Gram-negative bacteria. The inhibitory effects of Van-MSNs were investigated on MRSA using the determination of minimum inhibitory (MIC) and minimum biofilm-inhibitory concentrations (MBIC) as well as the effect on bacterial attachment. Biocompatibility was studied by examining the effect of Van-MSNs on the lysis and sedimentation rate of red blood cells (RBC). The interaction of Van-MSNs with human blood plasma was detected by the SDS-PAGE approach. The cytotoxic effect of the Van-MSNs on human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) was evaluated by the MTT assay. The antibacterial effects of vancomycin and Van-MSNs on Gram-negative bacteria were also investigated using MIC determination using the broth microdilution method. Furthermore, bacteria outer membrane (OM) permeabilization was determined. Van-MSNs showed inhibitory effects on planktonic and biofilm forms of bacteria on all isolates at levels lower than MICs and MBICs of free vancomycin, but the antibiofilm effect of Van-MSNs was not significant. However, Van-MSNs did not affect bacterial attachment to surfaces. Van-loaded MSNs did not show a considerable effect on the lysis and sedimentation of RBC. A low interaction of Van-MSNs was detected with albumin (66.5 kDa). The hBM-MSCs viability in exposure to different levels of Van-MSNs was 91-100%. MICs of ≥ 128 µg/mL were observed for vancomycin against all Gram-negative bacteria. In contrast, Van-MSNs exhibited modest antibacterial activity inhibiting the tested Gram-negative bacterial strains, at concentrations of ≤ 16 µg/mL. Van-MSNs increased the OM permeability of bacteria that can increase the antimicrobial effect of vancomycin. According to our findings, Van-loaded MSNs have low cytotoxicity, desirable biocompatibility, and antibacterial effects and can be an option for the battle against planktonic MRSA.

Abstract
Bone cancer is usually a metastatic disease, affecting people of all ages. Its effective therapy requires a targeted drug administration locally at the cancer site so that the surrounding healthy organs and tissues stay unharmed. Upon a thorough literature search, a tremendous number of published articles are reporting on development of calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) for the treatment of a variety of diseases, such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, osteomyelitis, and other musculoskeletal disorders. However, just a limited number of research employs CPCs specifically for bone cancer treatment. In this review article, we study the factors influencing the local drug release from CPCs and particularly focus on bone cancer therapy. Finally, we locate the deficiencies in the literature regarding this specific topic and propose which other perspectives should be considered and discussed in future articles.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Free doxorubicin (Dox) is used as a chemotherapeutic agent against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but it results in cardiotoxicty as a major side effect. Hence, a controlled Dox drug delivery system is extremely demanded.
Methods
Dox was loaded into the non-toxic biodegradable polycaprolactone (PCL) nanocapsules using the double emulsion method. Characterization of Dox-PCL nanocapsules was done using transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. Encapsulation efficiency and drug loading capacity were quantified using UV–visible spectrophotometry. Drug release was investigated in vitro at both normal (7.4) and cancer (4.8) pHs. Cytotoxicity of Dox-PCL nanocapsules against free Dox was evaluated using the MTT test on normal (Vero) and hepatic cancer (HepG2) cell lines.
Results
Spherical nanocapsules (212 ± 2 nm) were succeffully prepared with a zeta potential of (-22.3 ± 2 mv) and a polydisperse index of (0.019 ± 0.01) with a narrow size distribution pattern. The encapsulation efficiency was (73.15 ± 4%) with a drug loading capacity of (16.88 ± 2%). Importantlly, Dox-release from nanocapsules was faster at cancer pH (98%) than at physiological pH (26%). Moreover, although Dox-PCL nanocapsules were less toxic on the normal cell line (GI 50 = 17.99 ± 8.62 µg/ml) than free Dox (GI 50 = 16.53 ± 1.06 µg/ml), the encapsulated Dox showed higher toxic effect on cancer HepG2 cells compared to that caused by the free drug (GI 50 = 2.46 ± 0.49 and 4.22 ± 0.04 µg/ml, respectively).
Conclusion
The constructed Dox-PCL nanocapsules constitute a potentially controlled anti-HCC therapy with minimal systemic exposure.

Abstract
The choice of polymer and its compatibility with drug used determine the fate of nanoparticle in therapy. There has been limited sources about effect of resomer differentiation in nanoparticle related with physical and chemical properties and also biological activities of product. Therefore, we aimed to formulate docetaxel loaded polylactic-co-glycolic acid nanoparticles with different molecular weights (Resomer 502 and 504) and terminal groups (Resomer 502H and 504H) and to investigate the effect of these resomers on nanoparticle character, prostate cancer and healthy cells. Docetaxel loaded PLGA nanoparticles were prepared by single emulsion solvent evaporation method. Surface characterizations were carried out by zeta sizer and scanning electron microscopy. Encapsulation efficiency, in vitro drug release profiles and cytotoxic activity were determined. Main effect on the surface morphology of nanoparticles was the molecular weight of the polymer. In groups with acid terminal function have higher encapsulation and reaction efficiency. In all formulations, in vitro release was observed after 334 hours at pH 7.4 and 240 hours at pH 5.6. Also, the groups with high molecular weight showed selective cytotoxicity. These resomers especially RG 504 and RG 504H have potential to be used as a low-dose and high-efficiency extended-release drug delivery system in the treatment of prostate cancer.

Abstract
Functionalization of nanocarriers has been considered the most promising way of ensuring an accurate and targeted drug delivery system. This study reports the synthesis of bifunctional folic-conjugated aspartic-modified Fe3O4 nanocarriers with an excellent ability to deliver doxorubicin (DOX), an anticancer drug, into the intercellular matrix. Here, the presence of amine and carboxylate groups enables aspartic acid (AA) to be used as an efficient anchoring molecule for the conjugation of folic acid (FA) (EDC-NHS coupling) and DOX (electrostatic interaction). Based on the results, surface functionalization showed little effect on the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles but significantly influenced both the loading and release efficiency of DOX. This is primarily caused by the steric hindrance effect due to large and bulky FA molecules. Furthermore, in vitro MTT assay of B16-F1 cell lines revealed that FA conjugation was responsible for a significant increase in the cytotoxicity of DOX-loaded nanocarriers, which was also found to be proportional to AA concentration. This high cytotoxicity resulted from an efficient cellular uptake induced by the over-expressed folate receptors and fast pH triggered DOX release inside the target cell. Here, the lowest IC50 value of DOX-loaded nanocarriers was achieved at 2.814 ± 0.449 μg mL-1. Besides, further investigation also showed that the drug-loaded nanocarriers exhibited less or no toxicity against normal cells.

Abstract
Hydrogels, which are versatile three-dimensional structures containing polymers and water, are very attractive for use in biomedical fields, but they suffer from rather weak mechanical properties. In this regard, biocompatible particles can be used to enhance their mechanical properties. The possibility of loading such particles with drugs (e.g. enzymes) makes them a particularly useful component in hydrogels. In this study, micro/nanoparticles containing various ratios of Ca2+/Mg2+ with sizes ranging from 1 to 8 μm were prepared and mixed with gellan gum (GG) solution to study the in-situ formation of hydrogel-particle composites. The particles provide multiple functionalities: 1) they efficiently crosslink GG to induce hydrogel formation through the release of the divalent cations (Ca2+/Mg2+) known to bind to GG polymer chains; 2) they enhance mechanical properties of the hydrogel from 2 up to 100 kPa; 3) the samples most efficiently promoting cell growth were found to contain two types of minerals: vaterite and hydroxymagnesite, which enhanced cells proliferation and hydroxyapatite formation. The results demonstrate that such composite materials are attractive candidates for applications in bone regeneration.

Abstract
The blood brain barrier (BBB) and blood tumour barrier (BTB) remain a major roadblock for delivering therapies to treat brain cancer. Amongst brain cancers, glioblastoma (GBM) is notoriously difficult to treat due to the challenge of delivering chemotherapeutic drugs across the BBB and into the tumour microenvironment. Consequently, GBM has high rates of tumour recurrence. Currently, limited numbers of chemotherapies are available that can cross the BBB to treat GBM. Nanomedicine is an attractive solution for treating GBM as it can augment drug penetration across the BBB and into the heterogeneous tumour site. However, very few nanomedicines exist that can easily overcome both the BBB and BTB owing to difficulty in synthesizing nanoparticles that meet the small size and surface functionality restrictions. In this study, we have developed for the first-time, a room temperature protocol to synthesise ultra-small size with large pore silica nanoparticles (USLP, size ∼30 nm, pore size >7 nm) with the ability to load high concentrations of chemotherapeutic drugs and conjugate a targeting moiety to their surface. The nanoparticles were conjugated with lactoferrin (>80 kDa), whose receptors are overexpressed by both the BBB and GBM, to achieve additional active targeting. Lactoferrin conjugated USLP (USLP-Lf) were loaded with doxorubicin - a chemotherapy agent that is known to be highly effective against GBM in vitro but cannot permeate the BBB. USLP-Lf were able to selectively permeate the BBB in vitro, and were effectively taken up by glioblastoma U87 cells. When compared to the uncoated USLP-NPs, the coating with lactoferrin significantly improved penetration of USLP into U87 tumour spheroids (after 12 hours at 100 μm distance, RFU value 19.58 vs. 49.16 respectively). Moreover, this USLP-Lf based delivery platform improved the efficacy of doxorubicin-mediated apoptosis of GBM cells in both 2D and 3D models. Collectively, our new nano-platform has the potential to overcome both the BBB and BTB to treat GBM more effectively.

Abstract
Evaluation of interaction mechanism between 2-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials and cell membranes is a critical issue in providing guidelines for biomedical applications. Recent progress in computer-aided molecular design tools, especially molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, afford a cost-effective approach to achieving this goal. In this work, based on this hypothesis, by utilizing theoretical methods including MD simulation and free energy calculations, a process is evaluated in which the Doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded onto carbon nitride (CN) nanosheet faced with bilayer membrane. It should be mentioned that to achieve an efficient CN-based drug delivery system (DDS), in the first place, the intermolecular interaction between the carrier and DOX is investigated. The obtained results show that the DOX prefers a parallel orientation with respect to the CN surface via the formation of π-π stacking and H-bond interactions. Furthermore, the adsorption energy value between the drug and the carrier is evaluated at about - 312 kJ/mol. Moreover, the investigation of the interaction between the CN-DOX complex and the membrane reveals that due to the presence of polar heads in the lipid bilayer, the contribution of electrostatic energy is higher than the van der Waals energy. The global minimum in free energy surface of the DDS is located between the head groups of the cell membrane. Overall, it can be concluded that the CN nanosheet is a suitable candidate for transfer and stabilize DOX on the membrane.

Abstract
Development of nanocomposites as drug delivery vectors is a burgeoning field of research. However, the usage of such newly invented nanomatrices are often limited by the shortcomings associated with the testing of their real-life efficacy. Many drugs fail because a monolayer framework ofin vitrocell line screening method does not adequately mimic thein vivothree-dimensional microenvironments. In this direction, the study unveils the development of a continuous flow microreactor wherein the cellulose acetate nanoparticles (CANPs) with varying sizes are prepared before encapsulating them with an anticancer drug-doxorubicin (DOX). Subsequently, anin vitromicrofluidic drug delivery model has been introduced in which the HeLa cells specific to cervical cancer is treated with the DOX encapsulated CANPs-DOX@CANPs. Thereafter, the transport of the drugs from the fluidic to cellular environment, their transport inside the cell, and the real-time kinetics of the cancer cell apoptosis have been analyzed systematically to uncover the real-time efficacy and cytotoxic effects of the nanocomposite. Interestingly, experiments reveal, (i) ∼89.4% DOX loading on the nanocomposite owing to a facile electrostatic interaction, (ii) a pH-dependent controlled release of drug during the transport with the cancer cells, and (iii) cell apoptosis after the diffused inoculation of the drug. A mathematical model has been developed to emulate the drug transport from the surrounding fluid to the cancer cells. Experiments together with the mathematical model uncover that the kinetics of cancer cell death is limited by the reaction at the cell-nucleus. The microfluidic model has shown significant potential to be translated as a useful tool for the real-time and on-demandin vitroscreening of the cancer drugs.

Abstract
Simple Summary This work revealed that DOX-Ar-CC-NPs have the ability to promote cell death in MCF-7 cells, showing high potency in drug delivery. DOX-Ar-CC-NPs prompts cell death of MCF-7 cancer cells in vivo. LC-MS/MS Proteomic experemnt showed alteration on the expression of proteins linked to actine signaling, carbohydrate metabolisim. Abstract One of the most prevalent death causes among women worldwide is breast cancer. This study aimed to characterise and differentiate the proteomics profiles of breast cancer cell lines treated with Doxorubicin (DOX) and Doxorubicin-CaCO3-nanoparticles (DOX-Ar-CC-NPs). This study determines the therapeutic potential of doxorubicin-loaded aragonite CaCO3 nanoparticles using a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry analysis. In total, 334 proteins were expressed in DOX-Ar-CC-NPs treated cells, while DOX treatment expressed only 54 proteins. Out of the 334 proteins expressed in DOX-CC-NPs treated cells, only 36 proteins showed changes in abundance, while in DOX treated cells, only 7 out of 54 proteins were differentially expressed. Most of the 30 identified proteins that are differentially expressed in DOX-CC-NPs treated cells are key enzymes that have an important role in the metabolism of carbohydrates as well as energy, including: pyruvate kinase, ATP synthase, enolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier, and trypsin. Other identified proteins are structural proteins which included; Keratin, α- and β-tubulin, actin, and actinin. Additionally, one of the heat shock proteins was identified, which is Hsp90; other proteins include Annexins and Human epididymis protein 4. While the proteins identified in DOX-treated cells were tubulin alpha-1B chain and a beta chain, actin cytoplasmic 1, annexin A2, IF rod domain-containing protein, and 78 kDa glucose-regulated protein. Bioinformatics analysis revealed the predicted canonical pathways linking the signalling of the actin cytoskeleton, ILK, VEGF, BAG2, integrin and paxillin, as well as glycolysis. This research indicates that proteomic analysis is an effective technique for proteins expression associated with chemotherapy drugs on cancer tumours; this method provides the opportunity to identify treatment targets for MCF-7 cancer cells, and a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) system allowed the detection of a larger number of proteins than 2-DE gel analysis, as well as proteins with maximum pIs and high molecular weight.

Sustained and controlled delivery of doxorubicin from an in-situ setting biphasic hydroxyapatite carrier for local treatment of a highly proliferative human osteosarcoma. Acta Biomater 2021; 131:555-571. [PMID: 34271171 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.07.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2021] [Revised: 07/02/2021] [Accepted: 07/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a cornerstone drug in the treatment of osteosarcoma. However, achieving sufficient concentration in the tumor tissue after systemic administration with few side effects has been a challenge. Even with the most advanced nanotechnology approaches, less than 5% of the total administered drug gets delivered to the target site. Alternatives to increase the local concentration of DOX within the tumor using improved drug delivery methods are needed. In this study, we evaluate a clinically approved calcium sulfate/hydroxyapatite (CaS/HA) carrier, both in-vitro and in-vivo, for local, sustained and controlled delivery of DOX to improve osteosarcoma treatment. In-vitro drug release studies indicated that nearly 28% and 36% of the loaded drug was released over a period of 4-weeks at physiological pH (7.4) and acidic pH (5), respectively. About 63% of the drug had been released after 4-weeks in-vivo. The efficacy of the released drug from the CaS/HA material was verified on two human osteosarcoma cell lines MG-63 and 143B. It was demonstrated that the released drug fractions functioned the same way as the free drug without impacting its efficacy. Finally, the carrier system with DOX was assessed using two clinically relevant human osteosarcoma xenograft models. Compared to no treatment or the clinical standard of care with systemic DOX administration, the delivery of DOX using a CaS/HA biomaterial could significantly hinder tumor progression by inhibiting angiogenesis and cell proliferation. Our results indicate that a clinically approved CaS/HA biomaterial containing cytostatics could potentially be used for the local treatment of osteosarcoma. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The triad of doxorubicin (DOX), methotrexate and cisplatin has routinely been used for the treatment of osteosarcoma. These drugs dramatically improved the prognosis, but 45-55% of the patients respond poorly to the treatment with low 5-year survival. In the present study, we repurpose the cornerstone drug DOX by embedding it in a calcium sulfate/hydroxyapatite (CaS/HA) biomaterial, ensuring a spatio-temporal drug release and a hypothetically higher and longer lasting intra-tumoral concentration of DOX. This delivery system could dramatically hinder the progression of a highly aggressive osteosarcoma compared to systemic administration, by inhibiting angiogenesis and cell proliferation. Our data show an efficient method for supplementary osteosarcoma treatment with possible rapid translational potential due to clinically approved constituents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ever-increasing resistance to antimicrobial agents among bacteria associated with nosocomial infections indicate the necessity of new antimicrobial therapy. The nanoparticles are considered as new drug delivery systems to increase the efficiency and decrease the unfavourable effects of the antimicrobial agents. METHODS Herein we report the preparation and characterization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) loaded with meropenem against carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. The antimicrobial effect of meropenem-loaded MSNs was determined against Enterobacteriaceae using the minimum inhibitory (MIC) method. The biocompatibility of meropenem-loaded MSNs was studied by the impact on the haemolysis and sedimentation rates of human red blood cells (HRBCs). Cytotoxicity of the meropenem-loaded MSNs was studied by the MTT test (hBM-MSC cell viability). RESULTS The meropenem-loaded MSNs have shown antibacterial activity on all isolates at different MIC values lower than MICs of meropenem. Free MSNs did not show any significant antibacterial effect. Meropenem-loaded MSNs have no significant effect on haemolysis and ESR of HRBCs. The viability of hBM-MSC cells treated with serial concentrations of meropenem-loaded MSNs was 92-100%. CONCLUSION Due to the desirable biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity and the improved antibacterial effect, MSNs can be considered as a promising drug delivery system for meropenem as a potential antimicrobial agent.

Abstract
Phosphate-stabilized amorphous calcium carbonate (ACCP) has excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity, and biodegradability, and can be easily synthesized and stored. However, unmodified ACCP, as a controlled drug release carrier, decomposes rapidly in an acidic environment and highly depends on the system's pH value, which can not meet the need for long-term release of active substances, thus limiting its application scope. To realize the specific pH responsiveness of ACCP nanoparticles, we designed and synthesized monodisperse sodium alginate/ACCP (Alginate/ACCP) composite nanoparticles in this paper. After ultrasonic treatment, nanoparticles with an average particle size less than 200 nm could form stable water dispersion that could be dispersed for up to 10 d. Based on the specific pH sensitivity of sodium alginate, the drug-controlled release performance of composite nanoparticles and the therapeutic effect of drug-loaded nanoparticles on A549 cancer cells were studied. The results indicated that under the same pH condition, the curcumin (Cur) release rate of composite nanoparticles gradually decreased with sodium alginate addition. When the dosage of sodium alginate was 1.0 mg ml-1, the cumulative drug release rate of nanoparticles in 40 h was only about 35%. Besides, the drug-loaded nanoparticles showed the excellent killing ability of cancer cells, and the survival rate of cancer cells decreased in a concentration-dependent manner. Therefore, through reasonable optimization design, we can synthesize composite nanoparticles with excellent sustained-release properties to provide a new strategy for cancer cells' long-term treatment.

The tendency to use cellulose fibrils for direct ink writing (DIW) of three-dimensional (3D) printing has been growing extensively due to their advantageous mechanical properties. However, retaining cellulose in its fibrillated forms after the printing process has always been a challenge. In this study, cellulose macrofibrils (CMFs) from oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) fibers were partially dissolved for consistent viscosity needed for DIW 3D printing. The printed CMF structure obtained from optimized printing profiles (volumetric flow rate, Qv = 9.58 mm/s; print speed, v = 20 mm/s), exhibited excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength of 66 MPa, Young's modulus of 2.16 GPa, and elongation of 8.76%). The remarkable structural and morphological effects of the intact cellulose fibrils show a homogeneous distribution with synthesized precipitated calcium carbonate (CaCO3) nanoparticles. The shear-aligned CMF/CaCO3 printed composite exhibited a sustained therapeutic drug release profile that can reduce rapid release that has adverse effects on healthy cells. In comparison with the initial burst release of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) by CaCO3, the controlled release of 5-fluorouracil can be varied (48 to 75%) with the composition of CMF/CaCO3 allowing efficient release over time.

Abstract
The development of clinically advanced multifaceted therapeutic materials for osteosarcoma is at the forefront of cancer research. Accordingly, this work presents the design of a multifunctional magnetic nanocomposite composed of maghemite, strontium doped hydroxyapatite and silica nanoparticles prospectively holding indispensable therapeutic features such as magnetic hyperthermia,in vitrobiomineralization, sustained drug release and intrinsic radiopacity for the treatment of osteosarcoma. The optimal composition has been identified by sequentially modulating the ratio of precursors of the magnetic nanocomposite synthesized by sol-gel technique. Structural and morphological characterization by x-ray diffraction, fourier transform infrared spectrum, Brunauer-Emmet-Teller and transmission electron microscopy analyses followed by VSM, hyperthermia and micro-CT analyses essentially assisted in the selective configuration of biofunctional properties. Results exemplify that MSHSr1 has a saturation magnetization of 47.4 emu g-1and attained hyperthermia temperature (42 °C) at a very low exposure time of 4 min. MSHSr1 is further unique with respect to its exceptional x-ray attenuation ability (contrast enhancement 154.5% in digital radiography; CT number 3100 HU), early biomimetic mineralization (in vitro) evident by the formation of spheroidal apatite layer (Ca/P ratio 1.33) harvested from FESEM-EDX analysis and controlled release of Doxorubicin, the clinically used chemotherapeutic drug: 87.7% at 120 h in tumour analogous pH (6.5) when compared to physiological pH (71.3% at 7.4). MTT assay complemented with cytoskeleton (F-actin) staining of human osteosarcoma (HOS) cells affirm biocompatibility of MSHSr1.In vitrobiomineralization authenticated by Alizarin red S and von Kossa staining has been further corroborated by semi-quantitative calcium estimation of HOS cells cultured with MSHSr1 for two weeks. The results therefore validate the multifunctionality of MSHSr1, and hence could be proposed as a combinatorial therapeutic nanocomposite for osteosarcoma treatment.

Preparation and in-vitro evaluation of mesoporous biogenic silica nanoparticles obtained from rice and wheat husk as a biocompatible carrier for anti-cancer drug delivery.

Abstract
In this study, mesoporous silica nanocarriers were synthesized from natural sources such as rice and wheat husk for drug delivery application. First, the biogenic silica in cereals husk was extracted by acid leaching and then converted to sodium silicate as a silica precursor. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles were then synthesized by adding sodium silicate to the template mixture by continuous and discrete modes during the sol-gel process. The effects of natural sources type and precursor addition method on nanocarriers' morphological and physicochemical properties were investigated by XRD, FT-IR, BET and SEM analysis. Our results showed rice husk-based spherical nanocarriers were more crystalline with slit-shaped pores, while wheat husk-based nanocarriers had been composed of spherical nanoparticles with narrow cylindrical pores. The results also showed that by adding the precursor discretely, their hydrophilicity, particle size and pore size increased compared with the continuous mode, probably due to the high initial concentration of the precursor in the reaction mixture. Doxorubicin (Dox), as a model anticancer drug was loaded into the nanocarriers, and the drug release behavior was studied at two different pH values (7.4 and 5.4). In general, the accumulated released drug at pH 5.4 was approximately twice as much as pH 7.4 due to the higher solubility of doxorubicin at acidic environment. Also, the accumulated released drug at pH 5.4 for nanocarriers which had been synthesized by discrete mode, was higher than continuous mode, due to the larger pore diameter of them. The biocompatibility and cytotoxicity of nanocarriers and Dox-loaded nanocarriers were also investigated on the HFF-2 and MCF-7 cell lines, respectively. Moreover, apoptosis, as the mechanism of cell death, was evaluated by morphological study of the MCF-7 cells. Within acceptable toxicity limits and apoptosis induction, the Dox-loaded nanocarriers, especially discrete mode synthesized nanocarriers, exhibited high-efficiency anticancer effect on the MCF-7 cell line.

Abstract
The safe development of nanotechnology and usage of nanoparticles (NPs) require the cellular toxicity examination of these NPs. Systematic studies are necessary to collect related data and comparison of the physicochemical features of NPs and their effects on cellular viability on model systems. In the present study, we systematically reviewed original studies, which investigated the cytotoxic effects and apoptosis of free NPs (loaded with doxorubicin (Dox)/or methotrexate (MTX)) via in vitro models. Articles were systematically collected by screening the literature published online in the following databases; PUBMED and SCOPUS and Web of Science and EMBASE. 23 in vitro cytotoxicity studies with 8 apoptosis examinations were found on osteosarcoma (OS) cell lines (mostly on MG-63). 43.47% of the synthesized NPs (10 studies) showed no cytotoxicity to OS cells. 39.13% of the synthesized NPs (9 studies) showed time and/or concentration related-cytotoxicity. Potent cytotoxic synthesized NP did not state. Significance difference between the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of drug and drug/NP reported in all studies. Involved NPs in this systematic review for delivery of Dox/or MTX to OS cells have higher safety index and biocompatibility, although small and positively charged NPs acted more toxic in comparison to larger and negative ones, apoptosis rate like cytotoxicity index was notable in drug/NP group, to apply them in clinical works. Future studies are required to address the mechanisms involved in cytotoxicity and apoptosis with a special focus on in vivo investigations.

Abstract
The sufficient accumulation of drugs is crucial for efficient treatment in a complex tumor microenvironment. Drug delivery systems (DDS) with high surface area and selective cytotoxicity present a novel approach to mitigate insufficient drug loading for improved therapeutic response. Herein, a doxorubicin-conjugated bimetallic gold-core palladium-shell nanocarrier with multiple dense arrays of branches (Au@PdNDs.PEG/DOX) was characterized and its efficacy against breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) and lung adenocarcinoma (A549) cells were evaluated. Enhanced darkfield and hyperspectral imaging (HSI) microscopy were used to study the intracellular uptake and accumulation of the DOX-loaded nanodendrites A fascinating data from a 3D-CytoViva fluorescence imaging technique provided information about the dynamics of localization and distribution of the nanocarrier. In vitro cytotoxicity assays indicated that Au@PdNDs.PEG/DOX inhibited the proliferative effects of MCF-7 cells at equivalent IC50 dosage compared to DOX alone. The nanocarrier triggered higher induction of apoptosis proved by a time-dependent phosphatidylserine V release, cell cycle arrest, and flow cytometry analysis. Moreover, the cell cycle phase proportion increase suggests that the enhanced apoptotic effect induced by Au@PdNDs.PEG/DOX was via a G2/M phase arrest. Thus, this study demonstrated the potential of dendritic nanoparticles to improve DOX therapeutic efficiency and plasmonic-mediated intracellular imaging as a suitable theranostic platform for deployment in nanomedicine.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most commonly diagnosed form of bone cancer. It is characterized by a high risk of developing lung metastasis as the disease progresses. Standard treatment includes combination of surgical intervention, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, the non-specificity of potent chemotherapeutic agents often leads to major side effects. In this review, we discuss the role of various classes of biomaterials, including both organic as well as inorganic in realizing the local and systemic delivery of therapeutic agents like drugs, radioisotopes and even gene silencing agents to treat osteosarcoma. Biomaterial assisted unconventional therapies such as targeted therapy, nanotherapy, magnetic hyperthermia, gene therapy, photothermal and photodynamic therapies are also being explored. A wide variety of biomaterials including lipids, carbon-based materials, polymers, silica, bioactive glass, hydroxyapatite and metals are designed as delivery systems with the desired loading efficiency, release profile, and on-demand delivery. Among others, liposomal carriers have attracted a great deal of attention due to their capability to encapsulate both hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs. Polymeric systems have high drug loading efficiency and stability and can even be tailored to achieve desired size and physiochemical properties. Carbon-based systems can also be seen as an upcoming class of therapeutics with great potential in treating different types of cancer. Inorganic materials like silica nanoparticles have high drug payload owing to their mesoporous structure. On the other hand, ceramic materials like bioactive glass and hydroxyapatite not only act as excellent delivery vectors but also participate in osteo-regeneration activity. These multifunctional biomaterials are also being investigated for their theranostic abilities to monitor cancer ablation. This review systematically discusses the vast landscape of biomaterials along with their challenges and respective opportunities for osteosarcoma therapy.

Abstract
Hydrogels, being capable of mimicking the extracellular matrix composition of tissues, are greatly used as artificial matrices in tissue engineering applications. In this study, the generation of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-crosslinked silk fibroin (SF) hydrogels, using calcium peroxide as oxidizer is reported. The proposed fast forming calcium-containing SF hydrogels spontaneously undergo SF conformational changes from random coil to β-sheet during time, exhibiting ionic, and pH stimuli responsiveness. In vitro response shows calcium-containing SF hydrogels' encapsulation properties and their ability to promote SaOs-2 tumor cells death after 10 days of culturing, upon complete β-sheet conformation transition. Calcium-containing SF hydrogels' angiogenic potential investigated in an in ovo chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay, show a high number of converging blood vessels as compared to the negative control, although no endothelial cells infiltration is observed. The in vivo response evaluated in subcutaneous implantation in CD1 and nude NCD1 mice shows that calcium-containing SF hydrogels are stable up to 6 weeks after implantation. However, an increased number of dead cells are also present in the surrounding tissue. The results suggest the potential of calcium-containing SF hydrogels to be used as novel in situ therapeutics for bone cancer treatment applications, particularly to osteosarcoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paclitaxel (PTX) is a widely used anti-cancer drug for treating various types of solid malignant tumors including breast, ovarian and lung cancers. However, PTX has a low therapeutic response and is linked with acquired resistance, as well as a high incidence of adverse events, such as allergic reactions, neurotoxicity and myelosuppression. The situation is compounded when its complex chemical structure contributes towards hydrophobicity, shortening its circulation time in blood, causing off-target effects and limiting its therapeutic activity against cancer cells. Formulating a smart nano-carrier may overcome the solubility and toxicity issues of the drug and enable its more selective delivery to the cancerous cells. Among the nano-carriers, natural polymers are of great importance due to their excellent biodegradability, non-toxicity and good accessibility. The aim of the present research is to develop self-assembled sodium caseinate nanomicelles (NaCNs) with PTX loaded into the hydrophobic core of NaCNs for effective uptake of the drug in cancer cells and its subsequent intracellular release. METHODS The PTX-loaded micelle was characterized with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectra (FTIR), High Resolution-Transmission Electron Microscope (HR-TEM), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX). Following treatment with PTX-loaded NaCNs, cell viability, cellular uptake and morphological changes were analyzed using MCF-7 and MDA-MB 231 human breast cancer cell lines. RESULTS We found that PTX-loaded NaCNs efficiently released PTX in an acidic tumor environment, while showing an enhanced cytotoxicity, cellular uptake and in-vivo anti-tumor efficacy in a mouse model of breast cancer when compared to free drug and blank micelles. Additionally, the nanomicelles also presented improved colloidal stability for three months at 4 °C and -20 °C and when placed at a temperature of 37 °C. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that the newly developed NaCNs is a promising carrier of PTX to enhance tumor accumulation of the drug while addressing its toxicity issues as well.

Abstract
AbstractCockle shell-derived aragonite calcium carbonate nanoparticles (CACNP) have demonstrated prospect as nano-sized drug carriers for targeting cancer cells. CACNP is biocompatible, biodegradable and its biomaterial is readily available and is of low cost. In addition, CACNP is highly porous, has a large surface area which confer a high loading capacity. The pH-dependent release properties as well as its potential for surface functionalization with targeting agents make CACNP useful in passive and active targeting of cancer cells and cancer stem cells. In this article, we reviewed the current state of CACNP as nano-sized drug carrier for targeting cancer cells, cancer stem cells and its biocompatibility.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate whether ionizing radiation combined with doxorubicin-conjugated iron oxide nanoparticles (NP-DOX) improves the internalization and cytotoxic effects of the nano-carrier-mediated drug delivery in MG-63 human osteosarcoma cells. NP-DOX was designed and synthesized using the co-precipitation method. Highly stable and crystalline nanoparticles conjugated with DOX were internalized in MG-63 cells through macropinocytosis and located in the perinuclear area. Higher nanoparticles internalization in MG-63 cells previously exposed to 1 Gy X-rays was correlated with an early accumulation of cells in G2/M, starting at 12 h after treatment. After 48 h, the application of the combined treatment led to higher cytotoxic effects compared to the individual treatment, with a reduction in the metabolic capacity and unrepaired DNA breaks, whilst a low percent of arrested cells, contributing to the commitment of mitotic catastrophe. NP-DOX showed hemocompatibility and no systemic cytotoxicity, nor histopathological alteration of the main organs.

Abstract
Bone is an important part of the human body structure and plays a vital role in human health. A microfluidic chip that can simulate the structure and function of bone will provide a platform for bone-related biomedical research. Hydroxyapatite (HA), a bioactive ceramic material, has a similar structure and composition to bone mineralization products. In this study, we used HA as a microfluidic chip component to provide a highly bionic bone environment. HA substrates with different microchannel structures were printed by using ceramic stereolithography (SLA) technology, and the minimum trench width was 50 μm. The HA substrate with microchannels was sealed by a thin polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer to make a HA-PDMS microfluidic chip. Cell culture experiments demonstrated that compared with PDMS, HA was more conducive to the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of the human foetal osteoblast cell line (hFOB). In addition, the concentration gradient of the model drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) was successfully generated on a Christmas tree structure HA-PDMS chip, and the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of DOX was determined. The findings of this study indicate that the HA-PDMS microfluidic chip has great potential in the field of high-throughput bone-related drug screening and bone-related research. 3D printing of the hydroxyapatite (HA) substrate with microchannel networks. Fabrication of HA-PDMS microfluidic chips. (3) Provided a new microfluidic platform for studying bone and bone-related diseases.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to construct and characterize iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPCO) for intracellular delivery of the anthracycline doxorubicin (DOX; IONPDOX) in order to induce tumor cell inactivation. More than 80% of the loaded drug was released from IONPDOX within 24 h (100% at 70 h). Efficient internalization of IONPDOX and IONPCO in HeLa cells occurred through pino- and endocytosis, with both IONP accumulating in a perinuclear pattern. IONPCO were biocompatible with maximum 27.9% ± 6.1% reduction in proliferation 96 h after treatment with up to 200 µg/mL IONPCO. Treatment with IONPDOX resulted in a concentration- and time-dependent decrease in cell proliferation (IC50 = 27.5 ± 12.0 μg/mL after 96 h) and a reduced clonogenic survival (surviving fraction, SF = 0.56 ± 0.14; versus IONPCO (SF = 1.07 ± 0.38)). Both IONP constructs were efficiently internalized and retained in the cells, and IONPDOX efficiently delivered DOX resulting in increased cell death vs IONPCO.

Abstract
Due to the high toxicity of currently used chemotherapeutics, novel methods of cancer treatment are needed. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) seem to be an interesting alternative due to penetration through biological membranes and systemic barriers. AuNPs as carriers of chemotherapeutics allow for reduced concentrations whilst maintaining the expected effect, and thus reducing the costs of therapy and adverse effects. We synthesized AuNPs stabilized with reduced glutathione (GSH) and conjugated with doxorubicin (DOX), gemcitabine (GEM) or cytarabine (CTA). This is the first study in which cytarabine-AuNPs were synthesized and characterized. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were used to chemically characterize obtained nanoparticles. Antitumor activity and safety of application were assessed by MTT assay in in vitro model (human osteosarcoma cells -143B, human osteoblast- hFOB1.19, breast cancer cells - MCF7, breast epithelial cells - MCF10A, pancreatic cancer cells - PANC-1, and pancreatic cells - hTERT-HPNE cells). We have shown that cellular response varies according to the type and concentration of AuNPs. At some concentrations, we were able to show selective cytotoxicity of our AuNPs conjugates only to cancer cell lines. Synthesized nanoparticles were more cytotoxic to tumor cell lines than chemotherapeutics alone.

Abstract
Cockle shell is an external covering of small, salt water edible clams (Anadara granosa) that dwells in coastal area. This abundant biomaterial is hard, cheap and readily available with high content of calcium carbonate in aragonite polymorphic form. At present, cockle shell-derived calcium carbonate nanoparticles (CSCaCO3NPs) with dual applications has remarkably drawn significant attention of researchers in nanotechnology as a nanocarrier for delivery of different categories of drugs and as bone scaffold due to its beneficial potentials such as biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, pH sensitivity, slow biodegradation, hydrophilic nature and a wide safety margin. In addition, CSCaCO3NP possesses structural porosity, a large surface area and functional group endings for electrostatic ion bonds with high loading capacity. Thus, it maintains great potential in the drug delivery system and a large number of biomedical utilisations. The pioneering researchers adopted a non-hazardous top-down method for the synthesis of CSCaCO3NP with subsequent improvements that led to the better spherical diameter size obtained recently which is suitable for drug delivery. The method is therefore a simple, low cost and environmentally friendly, which involves little procedural steps without stringent temperature management and expensive hazardous chemicals or any carbonation methods. This paper presents a review on a few different types of nanoparticles with emphasis on the versatile most recent advancements and achievements on the synthesis and developments of CSCaCO3NP aragonite with its applications as a nanocarrier for drug delivery in nanomedicine.

Abstract
This study intends to analyze the effects of doxorubicin and sodium bicarbonate release with polycaprolactone (PCL) coating on calcium phosphate system which is a bone like material, on the cell viability and proliferation of osteosarcoma and osteoblast. Increased systematic pH concentrations locally by the release of sodium bicarbonate diminished acidosis and hence, alleviated malignancy. In our studies, we have shown that the same of dosage of doxorubicin inhibited both osteoblast and osteosarcoma cell attachment and viability whereas, sodium bicarbonate abated osteosarcoma cell proliferation. Sodium bicarbonate also inhibited osteoblast cell proliferation in the early time points, however, the cell viability increased after the initial burst release of the molecule. Polymer coating on calcium phosphate-based implants, as carriers of drug, can minimize chances of toxic effects of higher oral drug dosage in the body, and also help in delivering effective doses of drugs, locally to the target tissues, as compared to the oral drug delivery approach. A coating of PCL was thus incorporated to control the initial burst release of bicarbonate, which enhanced the osteoblast cell viability, but was capable of diminishing osteosarcoma cell proliferation. The novelty and clinical significance of this study lies in the understanding of unique delivery using encapsulated naturally occurring and more benign sodium bicarbonate, for usage after excision of the cancerous bone, without any adverse effects on normal bone cells.

Abstract
A promising approach toward cancer therapy is expected to integrate imaging and therapeutic agents into a versatile nanocarrier for achieving improved antitumor efficacy and reducing the side effects of conventional chemotherapy. Herein, we designed a poly(d,l-lactic- co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-based theranostic nanoplatform using the double emulsion solvent evaporation method (W/O/W), which is associated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) modifications, to codeliver indocyanine green (ICG), a widely used near-infrared (NIR) dye, and doxorubicin (Dox), a chemotherapeutic drug, for dual-modality imaging-guided chemo-photothermal combination cancer therapy. The resultant ICG/Dox co-loaded hybrid PLGA nanoparticles (denoted as IDPNs) had a diameter of around 200 nm and exhibited excellent monodispersity, fluorescence/size stability, and biocompatibility. It was confirmed that IDPNs displayed a photothermal effect and that the heat induced faster release of Dox, which led to enhanced drug accumulation in cells and was followed by their efficient escape from the lysosomes into the cytoplasm and drug diffusion into the nucleus, resulting in a chemo-photothermal combinatorial therapeutic effect in vitro. Moreover, the IDPNs exhibited a high ability to accumulate in tumor tissue, owing to the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, and could realize real-time fluorescence/photoacoustic imaging of solid tumors with a high spatial resolution. In addition, the exposure of tumor regions to NIR irradiation could enhance the tumor penetration ability of IDPNs, almost eradicating subcutaneous tumors. In addition, the inhibition rate of IDPNs used in combination with laser irradiation against EMT-6 tumors in tumor-bearing nude mice (chemo-photothermal therapy) was approximately 95.6%, which was much higher than that for chemo- or photothermal treatment alone. Our study validated the fact that the use of well-defined IDPNs with NIR laser treatment could be a promising strategy for the early diagnosis and passive tumor-targeted chemo-photothermal therapy for cancer.
