Thirty years from FDA approval of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil/Caelyx): an updated analysis and future perspective by Alberto A Gabizon, Shira Gabizon-Peretz, Shadan Modaresahmadi, Ninh M La-Beck

“…While PLD has gained a strong foothold in relapsed ovarian cancer and metastatic breast cancer, it has not been extensively tested in primary (neoadjuvant) and adjuvant therapy and has not fulfilled the expectations from the results in animal models efficacy-wise. This discrepancy may be due to the large dose gap between mice and humans and the apparent variability of the EPR effect in human cancer. …”

Optogenetic Stimulation Enhanced Neuronal Plasticities in Motor Recovery after Ischemic Stroke by Changbo Lu, Xianglong Wu, Hongzhe Ma, Qingchuan Wang, Yikai Wang, Yan Luo, Cong Li, Hui Xu

“…Optogenetics is a functional and structural connection-based approach that can selectively activate or inhibit specific subtype neurons with a higher precision, and it has been widely applied to build up neuronal plasticities of the nervous system, which shows a great potential in restoring motor functions in stroke animal models. Here, we reviewed neurobiological mechanisms of enhanced brain plasticities underlying motor recovery through the optogenetic stimulation after ischemic stroke. …”
