Chrono-Adaptive Resistance Disruption (CARD): A Novel Pharmacological Framework to Address Anticancer Drug Resistance

Volume 2

Drug resistance in anticancer therapy has long remained an open problem in biomedical and pharmacological research in oncology. Nevertheless, despite numerous efforts aimed at targeting biological mechanisms at the molecular and pathway levels and testing various combination therapies, the present pharmacological approach has remained largely stagnant and insensitive to changes in circadian rhythms of tumor biology and drug resistance. However,..

Here, There, and Everywhere: Alpha-Fetoprotein in Cancer Immunotherapy

Volume 2

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) delivers nutrients to immature cells in a shuttle-like manner via alpha-fetoprotein receptor (AFPR)-mediated endocytosis. A small subset of immature myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) acts as a key regulator of immune tolerance during pregnancy, cancer, and other conditions. MDSCs, low doses of AFP, and AFP-binding ligands can modulate both the innate and adaptive immune responses. MDSCs decrease excessive immune..

Preface

Volume 1

It is my honor as Editor-in-Chief to present the first volume of Targeted Cancer Therapy Connect, a new peer-reviewed journal focused on the rapidly advancing fields of cancer immunology and immunotherapy. The aim of this first volume and of subsequent publications is to deepen our understanding of the molecular and cellular drivers of cancer and to highlight strategies that selectively..
