Tumor recurrence and metastasis occur at a high rate in patients with colon cancer. Identification of effective strategies for the treatment of colon cancer is critical. Recently, poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) has been shown to have potential as a broad therapeutic drug delivery system.
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia and alterations in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolisms. Diabetes is associated with absolute or relative deficiencies in insulin secretion by pancreatic β-cells and/or insulin action. For the treatment of diabetes large n[r]

Antioxidants are powerful free radical scavengers in the body, while free radicals are highly reactive chemical substances such as superoxide, hydroxyl radical, or singlet oxygen 1 that travel around in the body and cause damage to body cells. Free radical damage is one of the most prominent causes[r]
Endophytes are known for its novel metabolites and benefits for host. Diversified role of endophytes are being studied in order to enhance their use in agriculture production system. Endophytes are being use for plant growth promotion, alleviation of biotic and abiotic stresses, enhancing agronomic[r]
Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is one of the most lethal cancers. It is particularly important to accurately predict prognosis and to provide individualized treatment. Several lines of evidence suggest that genetic factors and clinicopathological characteristics are related to cancer onset and progress[r]
: Patients diagnosed with metastatic castration-refractory prostate cancer (mCRPC) rely on a limited number of therapeutic agents resulting in a median survival of 2–3 years. A subgroup of those patients with mCRPC presents with oligoprogressive disease.

Ramucirumab monotherapy as a second-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer (AGC) prolongs survival compared to the best supportive care. However, in clinical practice, ramucirumab monotherapy is sometimes used as third- or later-line treatment for AGC refractory to fluoropyrimidine and taxanes.
Patients with metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC) are commonly treated with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib, which blocks signalling from vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) - and platelet-derived growth factor-receptors, inhibiting development of new blood vessels.
