Topics in Anti-Cancer Research covers important advances on both experimental (preclinical) and clinical cancer research in drug development. The book series offers readers an insight into current and future therapeutic approaches for the prevention of different types of cancers, synthesizing new anti-cancer agents, new patented compounds, targets and agents for cancer therapy as well as recent molecular and gene therapy research. The comprehensive range of themes covered in each volume will be beneficial to clinicians, immunologists, and R&D experts looking for new anti-cancer targets and patents for the treatment of neoplasms, as well as varied approaches for cancer therapy. The topics covered in the seventh volume of this series include:- The role of ncRNAs in human cancer and its related patents- Taxol to nanotaxol: a journey towards enhanced drug delivery- Advanced therapy in cancer: stimuli-responsive nanocarriers for on-demand drug delivery- The regulation and the function of autophagy in the development and behavior of esophageal cancers- Recent patents on smart nano-formulations for cancer therapy- Potential inflammatory mechanisms underlying chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy and skeletal muscle effects- Recent advances in nutrigenomics: patent applications
