Nanocarriers encapsulating multiple chemotherapeutics are a promising strategy to achieve combinational chemotherapy for cancer therapy; however, they generally use exotic new carriers without therapeutic effect, which usually suffer from carrier-related toxicity issues, as well as having to pass extensive clinical trials to be drug excipients before any clinical applications. Cargo-free nanomedicines, which are fabricated by drugs themselves without new excipients and possess nanoscale characteristics to realize favorable pharmacokinetics and intracellular delivery, have been rapidly developed and drawn much attention to cancer treatment. Herein, we discuss recent advances of cargo-free nanomedicines for cancer treatment. After a brief introduction to the major types of carrier-free nanomedicine, some representative applications of these cargo-free nanomedicines are discussed, including combination therapy, immunotherapy, as well as self-monitoring of drug release. More importantly, this review draws a brief conclusion and discusses the future challenges of cargo-free nanomedicines from our perspective.

Die optische Kohärenztomographie (OCT) erlaubt die zerstörungsfreie In-situ-Überwachung der Einschweißtiefe beim Laserstrahlschweißen. Für dieses Verfahren wird hier der Einfluss von verringerten Umgebungsdrücken auf die Messqualität untersucht. Es wird gezeigt, dass sich bei niedrigerem Umgebungsdruck deutlich größere Signalanteile aus dem Bereich des Bodens der Dampfkapillare zurückerhalten lassen. Auf diese Weise steigen die effektive Messfrequenz und die Erkennbarkeit von Änderungen der Einschweißtiefe.   Optical coherence tomography (OCT) enables non-destructive in-situ monitoring of the weld penetration depth during laser beam welding. For this technology, the influence of reduced ambient pressures on the measurement quality is investigated. It is shown that significantly larger signal components are obtained from the bottom of the vapor capillary at lower ambient pressure increasing the applicable measurement frequency and the detectability of changes in the weld penetration depth.

Abstract: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. The identification of novel targets for cancer treatment is an area of intense work that has led Bcl-2 over-expression to be proposed as one of the hallmarks of cancer and Bcl-2 inhibition as a promising strategy for cancer treatment. In this review, we describe the different pathways related to programmed cell death, the role of Bcl-2 family members in apoptosis resistance to anti-cancer treatments, and the potential utility of Bcl-2 inhibitors to overcome resistance to chemo- and immunotherapy.
