Gliomas are rare brain tumors that originate from malignant alterations of glial cells. They are aggressive cancers with high mortality, high recurrence rates and short patient survival time, estimated at 15 months. Surgical treatment is the gold standard, with maximum tumor resection, in addition to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which are commonly used, either alone or in combination wi…
Contemporary science has revolutionized the understanding and treatment of diseases, particularly skin cancer, such as melanoma, which is highly aggressive and prone to metastasis. One promising approach for treatment is Photodynamic Therapy (PDT), which involves the use of photosensitizers (PS) and light emission at a specific wavelength to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), inducin…
Glioblastoma mutiformis is a highly invasive brain cancer that is difficult to treat, requiring the development of new therapeutic alternatives. Photodynamic Therapy is a non-invasive therapeutic modality that can improve the pharmacological selectivity of innovative photosensitizing compounds such as Quinizarin Green (QG), a substance which can exert a synergistic antineoplastic effect w…
The tumor environment is highly complex, making the development of new therapeutic approaches challenging. Most studies are still carried out in 2D culture models, which, despite their advantages, do not mimic the complexity that exists in vivo. In order to overcome these limitations, several three-dimensional models are being developed to complexly mimic the tumor environment and enable …
Currently, cancers still persist as one of the diseases that cause the most deaths in the world. Oral cancers are the fourth most frequent type in men and the eighth most frequent type in women. Culminating in approximately 145 thousand deaths annually when they come from oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC). Due to their high complexity and resistance capacity, these carcinomas make the …
The tumor environment is highly complex which makes the development of new therapeutic approaches challenging. However, the vast majority of in vitro study models are based on cell culture in two dimensions (2D) since the investigation in these models are simple and can be easily reproduced. However, these systems have limitations such as false positive responses. Therefore, in order to c…

The tumor microenvironment is highly complex, which makes the development of new therapeutic approaches challenging. For the development and study using three-dimensional models (spheroids, organoids and tissue-engineered constructions based on extracellular matrix scaffolds) it is important to understand the methods available for generating them and their response to drugs/photosensitize…
Currently, cancers still persist as one of the diseases that cause the most deaths in the world, oral cancers, culminating in approximately 145 thousand deaths annually when they come from oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC), due to its high complexity and resistance capacity, these carcinomas, make the therapy process difficult, which usually requires surgical interventions associated w…
