Novel Drug Delivery Particles Can Provide Dual Effects on Cancer “Theranostics” in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy by Abdul Basith Fithroni, Haruki Inoue, Shengli Zhou, Taufik Fatwa Nur Hakim, Takashi Tada, Minoru Suzuki, Yoshinori Sakurai, Manabu Ishimoto, Naoyuki Yamada, Rani Sauriasari, Wolfgang A. G. Sauerwein, Kazunori Watanabe, Takashi Ohtsuki, Eiji Matsuura

“…We have previously reported on self-forming nanoparticles for drug delivery consisting of a biodegradable polymer, namely, “AB-type” Lactosome^® nanoparticles (AB-Lac particles)- highly loaded with hydrophobic B compounds, namely <i>o</i>-Carborane (Carb) or 1,2-dihexyl-<i>o</i>-Carborane (diC6-Carb), and the latter (diC6-Carb) especially showed the “molecular glue” effect. Here we present in vivo and ex vivo studies with human pancreatic cancer (AsPC-1) cells to find therapeutically optimal formulas and the appropriate treatment conditions for these particles. …”

Caesalpinia sappan L. ethyl acetate extract regulated angiogenesis in atherosclerosis by modulating the miR-126/VEGF signalling pathway by Yue He, Chao Huang, Jingjing Chen, Weizeng Shen

“…Conclusion: This study emphasises CSEAE as a natural medicinal extract for the treatment of AS that can improve the migratory viability and reduce the apoptosis of HUVECs to maintain the health of the arterial endothelial microenvironment, while CSEAE also inhibits angiogenesis and delays plaque formation in ApoE−/− mice, suggesting that the therapeutic effect of CSEAE for AS may be related to its inhibition of neovascularisation and that its molecular mechanism may be related to the miR-126/VEGF signalling pathway.…”
