Article Abstract

In recent years, several nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems, such as polymeric nanoparticles, solid lipid nanoparticles, metallic nanoparticles, liposomes, and others, have been explored to target and treat a wide variety of diseases. Their employment has brought many benefits, not only to human medicine but also to veterinary medicine, albeit at a slower rate. Soon, the use of nanocarriers could revolutionize the animal health sector, and many veterinary therapies will be more effective as a result. The purpose of this review is to offer an overview of the main applications of nanocarriers in the veterinary field, from supplements for animal health and reproduction to nanovaccines and nanotherapies. Among the major pathologies that can affect animals, special attention is given to canine osteosarcoma (OSA): a comparison with human OSA is provided and the main treatment options are reviewed emphasizing the benefits that nanocarriers could bring in the treatment of this widespread disease.

Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, pose a significant and continuous burden on the healthcare system, urging the search for innovative therapeutical approaches targeting the central nervous system. Nowadays, no definitive treatment can effectively modulate the neuronal degeneration associated with such diseases. The current line of therapies is primarily symptomatic and suffers several drawbacks.

Background: The limited tumor-specific delivery and insufficient dendritic cell (DC) activation remain critical challenges in cancer immunotherapy. This research aimed to improve antitumor efficacy by developing a novel pH-responsive liposomal nanoplatform that specifically targets DC via Dectin-1 recognition in the tumor microenvironment (TME), thereby enhancing cellular immunity, minimizing off-target toxicity and reprograming the tumor immunosuppressive TME.

Methods: The construction, physical stability, biocompatibility and targeting capability of PLP-II/MGlu-Curd-Lips were evaluated using H NMR spectra, FT-IR spectroscopy, TEM, LUMiSizer assay, CCK-8 assay, Flow Cytometry (FC), and IVIS imaging.

Gram-negative bacteria are known for causing diseases in humans, animals, and plants, and high intrinsic resistance to antibiotics. Phage therapy is a promising alternative to control multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. Here, we present an overview of phage characteristics, host specificity, genomic classification, and therapeutic potentials across medical, veterinary, and agricultural systems.
