Abstract
Nanomedicine-induced cancer cell death has become a prominent area of research in the life sciences field in recent years. The concept of cuproptosis was first proposed in 2022. Copper homeostasis in organisms is tightly regulated by protein transporters and molecular chaperones. Disruptions in copper homeostasis can adversely affect mitochondrial respiration and disrupt other physiological processes, leading to cytotoxicity. Therefore, researchers have designed and refined copper-based nanomaterials to induce cuproptosis and assess their effects on cancer treatment. While several reviews on cuproptosis exist, they primarily delve into its molecular mechanisms. This review begins with elucidating the metabolism and homeostasis of copper in the body. Subsequently, the latest advancements in copper nanomaterial-induced cuproptosis for cancer treatment and antimicrobial purposes is summarized. Finally, a comprehensive summary and outlook on the subject is provided. The goal with this review is to assist researchers in gaining a deeper understanding of the interaction between nanomaterials and cuproptosis, thereby offering new perspectives for designing novel nanomaterials to induce cuproptosis.
期刊介绍:
Advanced NanoBiomed Research will provide an Open Access home for cutting-edge nanomedicine, bioengineering and biomaterials research aimed at improving human health. The journal will capture a broad spectrum of research from increasingly multi- and interdisciplinary fields of the traditional areas of biomedicine, bioengineering and health-related materials science as well as precision and personalized medicine, drug delivery, and artificial intelligence-driven health science.
The scope of Advanced NanoBiomed Research will cover the following key subject areas:
▪ Nanomedicine and nanotechnology, with applications in drug and gene delivery, diagnostics, theranostics, photothermal and photodynamic therapy and multimodal imaging.
▪ Biomaterials, including hydrogels, 2D materials, biopolymers, composites, biodegradable materials, biohybrids and biomimetics (such as artificial cells, exosomes and extracellular vesicles), as well as all organic and inorganic materials for biomedical applications.
▪ Biointerfaces, such as anti-microbial surfaces and coatings, as well as interfaces for cellular engineering, immunoengineering and 3D cell culture.
▪ Biofabrication including (bio)inks and technologies, towards generation of functional tissues and organs.
▪ Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, including scaffolds and scaffold-free approaches, for bone, ligament, muscle, skin, neural, cardiac tissue engineering and tissue vascularization.
▪ Devices for healthcare applications, disease modelling and treatment, such as diagnostics, lab-on-a-chip, organs-on-a-chip, bioMEMS, bioelectronics, wearables, actuators, soft robotics, and intelligent drug delivery systems.
with a strong focus on applications of these fields, from bench-to-bedside, for treatment of all diseases and disorders, such as infectious, autoimmune, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, neurological disorders and cancer; including pharmacology and toxicology studies.
