    Abstract Breast cancer is a complex and heterogeneous disease, encompassing various subtypes characterized by distinct molecular features, clinical behaviors, and treatment responses. Categorization of subtypes is based on the presence or absence of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), leading to subtypes such as luminal A, luminal B, HER2-positive, and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). TNBC, comprising around 20% of all breast cancers, lacks expression of ER, PR, and HER2 receptors, rendering it unresponsive to targeted therapies and presenting significant challenges in treatment. TNBC is associated with aggressive behavior, high rates of recurrence, and resistance to chemotherapy. Tumor initiation, progression, and treatment resistance in TNBC are attributed to breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs), which possess self-renewal, differentiation, and tumorigenic potential. Surface markers, self-renewal pathways (Notch, Wnt, Hedgehog signaling), apoptotic protein (Bcl-2), angiogenesis inhibition (VEGF inhibitors), and immune modulation (cytokines, immune checkpoint inhibitors) are among the key targets discussed in this review. However, targeting the BCSC subpopulation in TNBC presents challenges, including off-target effects, low solubility, and bioavailability of anti-BCSC agents. Nanoparticle-based therapies offer a promising approach to target various molecular pathways and cellular processes implicated in survival of BSCS in TNBC. In this review, we explore various nanocarrier-based approaches for targeting BCSCs in TNBC, aiming to overcome these challenges and improve treatment outcomes for TNBC patients. These nanoparticle-based therapeutic strategies hold promise for addressing the therapeutic gap in TNBC treatment by delivering targeted therapies to BCSCs while minimizing systemic toxicity and enhancing treatment efficacy.

    Abstract Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused 18 440 deaths world wide as of 25 March 2020 and posing a serious threat to public health. There is a need, therefore, for effective therapeutic strategies to cure this disease. However, high attrition rates, substantial costs and slow pace are the major limitations of novel drug discovery. Drug repurposing, by employing 'old' drugs to treat 'new' diseases is an attractive approach in drug discovery. Niclosamide (NIC) is an approved anti-helminthic drug with diverse antiviral mechanisms. In this work we hypothesize, the potential antiviral mechanisms of NIC against COVID-19.

    Abstract Pancreatic cancer poses a significant challenge within the field of oncology due to its aggressive behaviour, limited treatment choices, and unfavourable outlook. With a mere 10% survival rate at the 5-year mark, finding effective interventions becomes even more pressing. The intricate relationship between desmoplasia and hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment further complicates matters by promoting resistance to chemotherapy and impeding treatment efficacy. The dense extracellular matrix and cancer-associated fibroblasts characteristic of desmoplasia create a physical and biochemical barrier that impedes drug penetration and fosters an immunosuppressive milieu. Concurrently, hypoxia nurtures aggressive tumor behaviour and resistance to conventional therapies. a comprehensive exploration of emerging medications and innovative drug delivery approaches. Notably, advancements in nanoparticle-based delivery systems, local drug delivery implants, and oxygen-carrying strategies are highlighted for their potential to enhance drug accessibility and therapeutic outcomes. The integration of these strategies with traditional chemotherapies and targeted agents reveals the potential for synergistic effects that amplify treatment responses. These emerging interventions can mitigate desmoplasia and hypoxia-induced barriers, leading to improved drug delivery, treatment efficacy, and patient outcomes in pancreatic cancer. This review article delves into the dynamic landscape of emerging anticancer medications and innovative drug delivery strategies poised to overcome the challenges imposed by desmoplasia and hypoxia in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

    Abstract Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the major causes of cancer related deaths worldwide. Presence of chemoresistant cancer stem cells is the major reason behind metastasis, tumor relapse and treatment resistance in OSCC. STAT 3 signalling plays a key role in survival of cancer stem cells (CSC's), Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) mediated metastasis in OSCC. CD 133 is the surface marker for identification of cancer stem cells. In the present study we hypothesise the selective targeting of CSC's using CD 133 mediated delivery of STAT 3 inhibitor, Niclosamide to specifically target CSC's and Non CSC's.

    Abstract Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive form of breast cancer with high rates of tumor relapse and metastasis. The existing drugs for treatment of TNBC are unable to target the cells of origin (breast cancer stem cells) of TNBC. TNF-α related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) has propensity to target TNBC cells including cancer stem cells. However, resistance to TRAIL due to activation of anti-apoptotic mechanisms is a limitation for TRAIL based anticancer therapy for TNBC. In the present study we propose an hypothesis for effective targeting of triple negative breast cancer by overcoming TRAIL resistance.

    Abstract As well-known to the scientific community, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an irreversible neurodegenerative disease that ends up with impairment of memory and cognition. Patient quality of life can be enhanced by targeting neurogenesis as a therapeutic paradigm. Preserving functional activity of SDF-1α and GLP-1 by DPPIV inhibition will enhance the homing of stem cells and modulate cell signalling pathways. The non-invasive approach presented in this article is a major advantage for managing AD, as regular/conventional stem-cell therapy necessarily relies on the application of regenerative stem cells exogenously. Using DPP-4 inhibitors to achieve the SDF-1α/CXCR4 axis stabilisation and augmenting GLP-1 levels, will enhance the homing/recruitment of brain resident and non-resident circulating stem cells/progenitor cells towards the sites of lesion to increase synaptic plasticity, a promising approach and also a novel one as well.

    Abstract The present research reports the beneficial effects of surface modified chitosan and tumor-homing peptide conjugated liposomes of capecitabine (CAP) for treating breast cancer. Liposomal formulation of CAP was prepared by film hydration method using cholesterol-THP conjugate (CTHP-CAP-LPs) to achieve active targeting through HER2 receptors. CTHP-CAP-LPs significantly improved the specificity and efficacy of CAP by improving cell uptake, cytotoxicity and tumor regression in tumor bearing mice. CTHP-CAP-LPs, therefore, is a promising approach to improve the anticancer effects of CAP.
