Disulfiram (DSF) can target and kill cancer cells by disrupting cellular degradation of extruded proteins and has therefore received particular attention for its tumor chemotherapeutic potential.

Illustration of the mechanism of NbC/TA–GelMA hydrogel with multifunctional properties for potential application in oral mucosal impairment.

This review summarized the function of cancer cell membranes and comprehensively discussed the preparation of cancer cell membrane-coated nanoparticles (CCM-NPs) and their application in anti-tumor therapy. The graphical abstract figure was drawn by Figdraw (https://www.figdraw.com).

We constructed a targeted drug platform, ACSN/Fe₃O₄@MSNs-iRGD, that integrates excellent PDT and MRI.

Nowadays, several studies have highlighted the ability of snail mucus in maintaining healthy skin conditions due to its emollient, regenerative and protective properties.

A co-delivery system was prepared based on polyprodrug and low molecular weight polyethyleneimine. Triggered by the high level of ROS in tumor cells, the controlled release of HCPT and suicide genes can effectively kill prostate cancer cells.

Despite the advancements in cancer therapies during the past few years, chemo/photo resistance, severe toxic effects, recurrence of metastatic tumors, and non-selective targeting remain incomprehensible.

FeND loaded with DOX representing a promising theranostic agent for chemo/chemodynamic therapy.

The recovery rate of the fluorescein sodium-loaded carbomer film following a prolonged bleaching process demonstrates a conspicuous deceleration at elevated concentrations.

Gold nanoclusters loaded with berberine into erythrocyte ghosts represent a promising biomimetic nanotheranostic agent for biomedical imaging and therapeutic applications.

Carbon-coated selenium (C–Se) nanoparticles were prepared to perform roles in photothermal therapy on choriocarcinoma cells by inducing ROS generation and apoptosis under near-infrared irradiation.

Copper overload or depletion is a valuable strategy in oncology: copper nanoparticles carry out copper-dependent apoptosis via oxidative stress; copper chelators induce apoptosis, inhibit angiogenesis and tumor progression.
