Core Tip

Core Tip: The molecular patterns of the special types of programmed cell death, such as apoptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and necroptosis, in cancer cells caused by altered regulation, could improve the effectiveness of mRNA vaccines and targeted therapies by overcoming the barrier function of the tumor microenvironment. Activation of specific pathways to overcome the barrier function in cancer treatment represents a promising strategy for targeted cellular and gene therapies, and also enhances radiosensitivity in radiation therapy.
