Volume 7
Topics in Anti-Cancer Research covers important advances on both experimental (preclinical) and clinical cancer research in drug development. The book series offers readers an insight into current and future therapeutic approaches for the prevention of different types of cancers, synthesizing new anti-cancer agents, new patented compounds, targets and agents for cancer therapy as well as recent molecular and gene therapy research. The comprehensive range of themes covered in each volume will be beneficial to clinicians, immunologists, and R&D experts looking for new anti-cancer targets and patents for the treatment of neoplasms, as well as varied approaches for cancer therapy.
The latest volume of the series starts with a review on non-coding RNAs and associated patents. These patents help researchers to identify various cancer biomarkers and oncogenic regulatory mechanisms. 3 chapters cover nanocarrier patents for enhanced drug delivery of chemotherapeutic agents. Nanocarriers allow drug manufacturers to encapsulate chemotherapeutic agents within thin membranes which allows the molecules to reach the targeted cellular location in the body. The specific topics refer to Nanotaxol which is a nanotechnology enhanced version of Taxol® – a chemotherapeutic agent derived from chemicals in the bark of Taxus brevifolia, stimuli responsive nanocarriers which change behavior according to temperature and pH and smart nanoformulations which rely on different chemical formulations to reach molecular targets.
Other topics covered in this volume include the role of autophagy in esophageal cancer, and nutrigenomics (the science of how biological nutrients affect gene expression) in cancer research. In terms of patents, the reader will find a list of compounds which modulate autophagy, and nutrigenomic methods that allow researchers to understand nutritional biomarkers of disease and customize nutraceutical formulations based on genetic and metabolic factors, respectively.
