    Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Cancer Therapy
    (2025) Baran, Z.; Çetinkaya, M.; Baran, Y.
    The mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that were initially discovered in the bone marrow in the late 1960s but have so far been discovered in almost all tissues of the body. The multipotent property of MSCs enables them to differentiate into various cell types and lineages, such as adipocytes, chondrocytes, and osteocytes. The immunomodulation capacity and tumor-targeting features of MSCs made their use crucial for cell-based therapies in cancer treatment, yet limited advancement could be observed in translational medicine prospects due to the need for more information regarding the controversial roles of MSCs in crosstalk tumors. In this review, we discuss the therapeutic potential of MSCs, the controversial roles played by MSCs in cancer progression, and the anticancer therapeutic strategies that are in association with MSCs. Finally, the clinical trials designed for the direct use of MSCs for cancer therapy or for their use in decreasing the side effects of other cancer therapies are also mentioned in this review to evaluate the current status of MSC-based cancer therapies. © 2024.

    Personalized Biomedicine in Cancer: From Traditional Therapy To Sustainable Healthcare
    (Elsevier, 2020) Ulu,G.T.; Kiraz,Y.; Baran,Y.
    What images are coming to your mind when you think about sustainable and qualified life? The main picture drawn is healthcare. Many people suffer from cancer; more than 18.1 million people were diagnosed with cancer and 9.6 million people died from cancer worldwide in 2018. Therefore many diagnosis and treatment strategies that are shaped and regulated by biomedicine approaches have been developed to solve this problem. Biomedicine is an interdisciplinary science to understand the interaction of biological, chemical, and physiological principles. These principles should be brought together to be applicable and sustainable for qualified life. Drug discovery and combination therapy using nanocarriers and natural compounds are being innovated as new approaches and opportunities for cancer treatment. Theoretically and practically, there is no limit to the development of new biomedicinal tools for personalized medicine in cancer. Therefore personalized medicine plays an important role for reaching successful therapy with low cost. By discovering the diverse potential of biomedicine, we can provide better healthcare in the world. © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    Flavonoids in Cancer Therapy: Current and Future Trends
    (Elsevier, 2020) Gürler,S.B.; Kiraz,Y.; Baran,Y.
    Flavonoids are a family of polyphenolic photochemical that are naturally found in plants. Flavonoids have been widely studied due to the curiosity of scientists about the implementation of nature to human health. These experimental and epidemiological studies showed that flavonoids have beneficial effects such as antioxidation, antiinflammation, antiplatelet, antiallergic, antiaging, antidiabetic, and anticarcinogenic activity. They can also interact with and regulate cellular proteins, transcription factors, and signaling enzymes at the molecular level. Cancer is one of the most common problems in human health and millions of people die due to cancer every year. Due to the lack of completely efficient therapies for most cancer patients, new approaches should be discovered. Flavonoids have been investigated and many studies have confirmed their importance as a therapy option in many diseases. In this chapter we review the use of flavonoids as therapeutical agents and prevention for cancer, including the recent studies as well as future perspectives in the field. © 2020 Elsevier Inc.

    Natural and Synthetic Nanovectors for Cancer Therapy
    (Ivyspring International Publisher, 2023) Eftekhari, Aziz; Kryschi, Carola; Pamies, David; Ahmadian, Elham; Janas, Dawid; Davaran, Soodabeh; Khalilov, Rovshan; Güleç, Şükrü
    Nanomaterials have been extensively studied in cancer therapy as vectors that may improve drug delivery. Such vectors not only bring numerous advantages such as stability, biocompatibility, and cellular uptake but have also been shown to overcome some cancer-related resistances. Nanocarrier can deliver the drug more precisely to the specific organ while improving its pharmacokinetics, thereby avoiding secondary adverse effects on the not target tissue. Between these nanovectors, diverse material types can be discerned, such as liposomes, dendrimers, carbon nanostructures, nanoparticles, nanowires, etc., each of which offers different opportunities for cancer therapy. In this review, a broad spectrum of nanovectors is analyzed for application in multimodal cancer therapy and diagnostics in terms of mode of action and pharmacokinetics. Advantages and inconveniences of promising nanovectors, including gold nanostructures, SPIONs, semiconducting quantum dots, various nanostructures, phospholipid-based liposomes, dendrimers, polymeric micelles, extracellular and exome vesicles are summarized. The article is concluded with a future outlook on this promising field. © The author(s).
