Salicylic acid attenuates paclitaxel-induced toxicity by modulating interleukin expression: an in vivo study. (PubMed, Drug Chem Toxicol)
Moreover, PAX alone significantly upregulated CASP1 and CASP3 expression, while co-treatment with SA significantly downregulated these genes. These findings highlight the protective role of SA in reducing PAX-induced toxicity, particularly in hepatic tissues, suggesting that SA could be a potential adjunct therapy for minimizing chemotherapy-related side effects.

Successful reversal of hepatic visceral crisis in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer: a case report. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Given the clinical severity, inpatient treatment was promptly initiated with trastuzumab and pertuzumab every three weeks, combined with weekly paclitaxel at a 50% dose reduction. In carefully selected patients, early and sustained HER2-directed therapy can lead to meaningful clinical recovery when options appear limited. Such cases help bridge the evidence gap for this high-risk group and may inform future therapeutic considerations.

The electrical and chemical hypoxia-optimized (ECHO) bioreactor system enables scalable production of functionally preserved NK-exosomes validated in a syngeneic lung cancer model. (PubMed, Drug Deliv Transl Res)
Combination therapy with paclitaxel further reduced viability to 9.4 ± 1.8% (p < 0.001)...Western blot analysis confirmed elevated cleaved caspase-3, cleaved PARP, Granzyme B, FasL, Phospho-NF-κB-p65 and reduced Ki-67 and PDL1 in NK-Exo-CE + PTX tumors. Collectively, electro-hypoxic bioreactor conditioning enables scalable NK-exosome production without compromising physicochemical integrity or antitumor efficacy, addressing a key translational barrier in extracellular vesicle therapeutics.

Reversing Bladder Cancer Chemo-resistance through Blocking Cell Senescence by a Combination Therapy. (PubMed, Theranostics)
A co-delivery therapeutic strategy combining the pan-HDAC inhibitor belinostat (PXD101) with paclitaxel (PTX) was developed and evaluated in patient-derived cisplatin-resistant organoids and a platinum-refractory patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model. Modulation of p21 influenced cell-cycle re-entry, senescence burden, and responsiveness to PTX. These findings define an HDAC-p21-senescence axis that sustains chemoresistance in bladder cancer and provide preclinical evidence supporting combined epigenetic and antimitotic therapy as a strategy to overcome acquired drug tolerance.

Primary splenic angiosarcoma presenting with unexplained anemia in a young adult: a case report. (PubMed, J Med Case Rep)
This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of PSA in young adults presenting with unexplained anemia and splenic lesions. Bone marrow findings may be misleadingly reactive, underscoring the importance of histopathological confirmation of splenic tissue. Early recognition and prompt surgical intervention remain critical given the aggressive nature and poor prognosis of this malignancy.
