Ca 2+ Overload: A New Hope in Cancer Therapy?

So, you've heard of calcium, right? It's not just for strong bones and teeth. In the world of cancer, high levels of calcium (Ca 2+ overload) inside cells can kill them off in various ways like apoptosis, pyroptosis, and more. This has become a big deal in cancer treatment. But it's not all smooth sailing. Researchers face challenges like controlling Ca 2+ levels precisely, targeting specific cells, and understanding how Ca 2+

works. Let's dive into how biomaterials loaded with calcium (like CaCO 3 , CaP, CaO 2 . . . ) are used to diagnose, treat, and even boost the immune system against cancer. New studies are showing promising results, especially when combined with other therapies. But there's still a lot to figure out. Let's take a look at the hurdles and what the future might hold. By learning from recent findings and planning for the future, we can beat cancer better.
