Harnessing albumin's natural tumor-targeting properties: nanoplatform strategies for triple-negative breast cancer therapy. (PubMed, Discov Nano)
We analyze diverse therapeutic payloads, including conventional chemotherapeutics (paclitaxel, doxorubicin, and docetaxel), natural products (curcumin and resveratrol), and molecular therapeutics (siRNAs and CRISPR/Cas9) delivered via albumin nanoplatforms. The clinical evidence supporting nab-paclitaxel in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors has demonstrated significant improvements in progression-free survival and objective response rates in PD-L1-positive mTNBC patients, whereas real-world studies have confirmed manageable safety profiles...Future directions emphasize the development of multistimuli-responsive albumin nanocarriers, integration with gene editing and immunotherapy, artificial intelligence-guided design optimization, and precision medicine strategies tailored to individual tumor profiles. The convergence of the natural tumor affinity of albumin with advanced nanotechnology holds substantial promise for overcoming drug resistance, enhancing therapeutic specificity, and improving clinical outcomes in TNBC patients, positioning albumin-based nanomedicine as a transformative approach in precision oncology.
