Abstract
Background Although knowledge on metastatic breast cancer in bones (MBCB) has increased rapidly over the past 22 years, a comprehensive and objective bibliometric analysis is still lacking. Materials and methods We used R, VOSviewer, and Citespace software to conduct a bibliometric analysis of 5,497 papers on MBCB from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) using author, institution, country/region, citation, and keyword indicators. Results A general strong sense of scholarly collaboration was noted in the MBCB field at the author, research institution, and country/region levels. We discovered some outstanding authors and highly productive institutions, but with less collaboration with other academic groups. Unbalanced and uncoordinated developments were observed among countries/regions in the field of MBCB research. We also found that by using various indicators and applying different analysis methods to them, we were able to broadly identify primary clinical practices, relevant clinical experiments, and directions for bioinformatics regarding MBCB, changes over the past 22 years, and current challenges in the field. The development of knowledge on MBCB is progressing greatly; however, MBCB is still incurable. Conclusion This study is the first to use bibliometrics to provide an overall analysis of the scientific output of MBCB studies. Palliative therapies for MBCB are mostly in a mature state. However, research on the molecular mechanisms and immune response to tumors related to the development of treatments to cure MBCB remains relatively immature. Therefore, further research should be undertaken in this area.

Abstract
Despite the fact that sorafenib is recommended for the treatment of oncological diseases of the liver, kidneys, and thyroid gland, and recently it has been used for combination therapy of brain cancer of various genesis, there are still significant problems for its widespread and effective use. Among these problems, the presence of the blood-brain barrier of the brain and the need to use high doses of sorafenib, the existence of mechanisms for the redistribution of sorafenib and its release in the brain tissue, as well as the high resistance of gliomas and glioblastomas to therapy should be considered the main ones. Therefore, there is a need to create new methods for delivering sorafenib to brain tumors, enhancing the therapeutic potential of sorafenib and reducing the cytotoxic effects of active compounds on the healthy environment of tumors, and ideally, increasing the survival of healthy cells during therapy. Using vitality tests, fluorescence microscopy, and molecular biology methods, we showed that the selenium-sorafenib (SeSo) nanocomplex, at relatively low concentrations, is able to bypass the mechanisms of glioblastoma cell chemoresistance and to induce apoptosis through Ca2+-dependent induction of endoplasmic reticulum stress, changes in the expression of selenoproteins and selenium-containing proteins, as well as key kinases-regulators of oncogenicity and cell death. Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) also have a high anticancer efficacy in glioblastomas, but are less selective, since SeSo in cortical astrocytes causes a more pronounced activation of the cytoprotective pathways.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most diagnosed type of cancer, with 2.26 million cases and 685,000 deaths recorded in 2020. If left untreated, this deadly disease can metastasize to distant organs, which is the reason behind its incurability and related deaths. Currently, conventional therapies are used to treat breast cancer, but they have numerous shortcomings such as low bioavailability, short circulation time, and off-target toxicity. To address these challenges, nanomedicines are preferred and are being extensively investigated for breast cancer treatment. Nanomedicines are novel drug delivery systems that can improve drug stability, aqueous solubility, blood circulation time, controlled release, and targeted delivery at the tumoral site and enhance therapeutic safety and effectiveness. Nanoparticles (NPs) can be administered through different routes. Although the injectable route is less preferred than the oral route for drug administration, it has its advantages: it helps tailor drugs with targeted moiety, boosts payload, avoids first-pass metabolism, and improves the pharmacokinetic parameters of the active pharmaceutical ingredients. Targeted delivery of nanomedicine, closer to organelles such as the mitochondria and nuclei in breast cancer, reduces the dosage requirements and the toxic effects of chemotherapeutics. This review aims to provide the current status of the recent advances in various injectable nanomedicines for targeted treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
Great advances in cancer treatment have been undertaken in the last years as a consequence of the development of new antitumoral drugs able to target cancer cells with decreasing side effects and a better understanding of the behavior of neoplastic cells during invasion and metastasis. Specifically, drug delivery systems (DDS) based on the use of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAp NPs) are gaining attention and merit a comprehensive review focused on their potential applications. These are derived from the intrinsic properties of HAp (e.g., biocompatibility and biodegradability), together with the easy functionalization and easy control of porosity, crystallinity and morphology of HAp NPs. The capacity to tailor the properties of DLS based on HAp NPs has well-recognized advantages for the control of both drug loading and release. Furthermore, the functionalization of NPs allows a targeted uptake in tumoral cells while their rapid elimination by the reticuloendothelial system (RES) can be avoided. Advances in HAp NPs involve not only their use as drug nanocarriers but also their employment as nanosystems for magnetic hyperthermia therapy, gene delivery systems, adjuvants for cancer immunotherapy and nanoparticles for cell imaging.

Abstract
Osseointegration of implants depends on several intertwined factors: osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and immunomodulation. Lately, novel reinforcements allowing faster bonding with osseous tissue have been explored intensively. In this study, we hypothesized the use of boron as a major multifunctional ion to confer versatility to calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (cHA) synthesized by a wet precipitation/microwave reflux method. By synthesis of boron-doped calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (BcHA), we expected to obtain an osteoimmunomodulatory and regenerative nanoreinforcement. BcHA was found to possess a pure HA phase, a greater surface area (66.41 m2/g, p = 0.028), and cumulative concentrations of Ca (207.87 ± 6.90 mg/mL, p < 0.001) and B (112.70 ± 11.79 mg/mL, p < 0.001) released in comparison to cHA. Osteogenic potential of BcHA was analyzed using human fetal osteoblasts. BcHA resulted in a drastic increase in the ALP activity (1.11 ± 0.11 mmol/gDNA·min, p < 0.001), biomineralization rate, and osteogenic gene expressions compared to cHA. BcHA angiogenic potential was investigated using human umbilical cord vein endothelial cells. Significantly, the highest VEGF-A release (1111.14 ± 87.82 in 4 h, p = 0.009) and angiogenic gene expressions were obtained for BcHA-treated samples. These samples were also observed to induce a more prominent and highly branched tube network. Finally, inflammatory and inflammasome responses toward BcHA were elucidated using human monocyte-derived macrophages differentiated from THP-1s. BcHA exhibited lower CAS-1 release (50.18 ± 5.52 μg/gDNA μg/gDNA) and higher IL-10 release (126.97 ± 15.05 μg/gDNA) than cHA. In addition, BcHA treatment led to increased expression of regenerative genes such as VEGF-A, RANKL, and BMP-2. In vitro results demonstrated that BcHA has tremendous osteogenic, angiogenic, and immunomodulatory potential to be employed as a "versatile-in-all-trades" modality in various bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
The use of biomaterials in medicine is not recent, and in the last few decades, the research and development of biocompatible materials had emerged. Hydroxyapatite (HAp), a calcium phosphate that constitutes a large part of the inorganic composition of human bones and teeth, has been used as an interesting bioceramic material. Among its applications, HAp has been used to carry antitumor drugs, such as doxorubicin, cisplatin, and gemcitabine. Such HAp-based composites have an essential role in anticancer drug delivery systems, including the treatment of osteosarcoma. In addition, the association of this bioceramic with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) has also been used as an effective agent of local magnetic hyperthermia. Further, the combined approach of the aforementioned techniques (HAp scaffolds combined with anti-tumor drugs and MNPs) is also an attractive therapeutical alternative. Considering the promising role of the use of bioceramics in modern medicine, we proposed this review, presenting an updated perspective on the use of HAp in the treatment of cancer, especially osteosarcoma. Finally, after giving the current progress in this field, we highlight the urgent need for efforts to provide a better understanding of their potential applications.

Abstract
Biomineralization consists of a complex cascade of phenomena generating hybrid nano-structured materials based on organic (e.g., polymer) and inorganic (e.g., hydroxyapatite) components. Biomineralization is a biomimetic process useful to produce highly biomimetic and biocompatible materials resembling natural hard tissues such as bones and teeth. In detail, biomimetic materials, composed of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HA) nucleated on an organic matrix, show extremely versatile chemical compositions and physical properties, which can be controlled to address specific challenges. Indeed, different parameters, including (i) the partial substitution of mimetic doping ions within the HA lattice, (ii) the use of different organic matrices, and (iii) the choice of cross-linking processes, can be finely tuned. In the present review, we mainly focused on calcium biomineralization. Besides regenerative medicine, these multifunctional materials have been largely exploited for other applications including 3D printable materials and in vitro three-dimensional (3D) models for cancer studies and for drug testing. Additionally, biomineralized multifunctional nano-particles can be involved in applications ranging from nanomedicine as fully bioresorbable drug delivery systems to the development of innovative and eco-sustainable UV physical filters for skin protection from solar radiations.

Abstract
This review presents the latest data on the importance of selenium nanoparticles in human health, their use in medicine, and the main known methods of their production by various methods. In recent years, a multifaceted study of nanoscale complexes in medicine, including selenium nanoparticles, has become very important in view of a number of positive features that make it possible to create new drugs based on them or significantly improve the properties of existing drugs. It is known that selenium is an essential trace element that is part of key antioxidant enzymes. In mammals, there are 25 selenoproteins, in which selenium is a key component of the active site. The important role of selenium in human health has been repeatedly proven by several hundred works in the past few decades; in recent years, the study of selenium nanocomplexes has become the focus of researchers. A large amount of accumulated data requires generalization and systematization in order to improve understanding of the key mechanisms and prospects for the use of selenium nanoparticles in medicine, which is the purpose of this review.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most challenging health problems in the world. Several clinical treatments have been developed, but all presenting several limitations. Among different types of cancer, bone cancer is less common, and limited new clinical treatment strategies have been proposed. Recently, a range of advanced materials has been investigated and applied for bone cancer treatment applications. However, due to the unique physiological properties of the bone tissue (a load-bearing tissue), the selection of the right type of material or the combination of suitable functional materials and base materials are critical. Selenium has been reported to present specific targeting inhibition effects on bone cancer without affecting the surrounding healthy tissue, revealing a huge potential for the development of new bone cancer treatment strategies. This paper presents a concise review on the use of selenium for bone cancer applications, discussing main synthesis methods, biocompatibility, and cytotoxicity aspects and the combination of selenium with a wide range of ceramics, metals, and polymers. Future perspectives and the novel concept of a dual-functional scaffold for both cancer treatment and new bone regeneration are also discussed.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is an essential element to human health that can be obtained in nature through several sources. In the human body, it is incorporated into selenocysteine, an amino acid used to synthesize several selenoproteins, which have an active center usually dependent on the presence of Se. Although Se shows several beneficial properties in human health, it has also a narrow therapeutic window, and therefore the excessive intake of inorganic and organic Se-based compounds often leads to toxicity. Nanoparticles based on Se (SeNPs) are less toxic than inorganic and organic Se. They are both biocompatible and capable of effectively delivering combinations of payloads to specific cells following their functionalization with active targeting ligands. Herein, the main origin of Se intake, its role on the human body, and its primary biomedical applications are revised. Particular focus will be given to the main therapeutic targets that are explored for SeNPs in cancer therapies, discussing the different functionalization methodologies used to improve SeNPs stability, while enabling the extensive delivery of drug-loaded SeNP to tumor sites, thus avoiding off-target effects.

Abstract
![]()
Doxorubicin (Dox)-loaded
or selenium-substituted hydroxyapatite
(HA) has been developed to achieve anti-osteosarcoma or bone regeneration
in a number of studies. However, currently, there is a lack of studies
on the combination of Dox and selenium loading in/on HA and comparative
research studies on which form and size of HA are more suitable for
drug loading and release in the treatment osteogenesis after osteosarcoma
resection. Herein, selenium-doped rod-shaped nano-HA (n-HA) and spherical
mesoporous HA (m-HA) were successfully prepared. The doping efficiency
of selenium and the Dox loading capacity of selenium-doped HA with
different morphologies were studied. The release kinetics of Dox and
the selenium element in phosphate-buffered saline with different pH
values was also comparatively investigated. The drug loading results
showed that n-HA exhibited 3 times higher selenium doping amount than
m-HA, and the Dox entrapment efficiency of selenium-doped n-HA (0.1Se-n-HA)
presented 20% higher than that of selenium-doped m-HA (0.1Se-m-HA).
The Dox release behaviors of HA in two different morphologies showed
similar release kinetics, with almost the same Dox releasing ratio
but slightly more Dox releasing amount in selenium-doped HA than in
HA without selenium. The selenium release from selenium-doped n-HA-D
(0.1Se-n-HA-D) particles was 2 times as much as that of selenium-doped
m-HA-D (0.1Se-m-HA) particles. Our study indicated that n-HA loaded
with Dox and selenium may be a promising drug delivery strategy for
inhibition of osteosarcoma recurrence and promoting osteogenesis simultaneously.

Abstract
In the present study we have studied the incorporation and release of selenite ions (SeO32-) in hydroxyapatite nanoparticles for the treatment of bone tumors. Two types of selenium-doped hydroxyapatite (HASe) nanoparticles (NPs) with a nominal Se/(P + Se) molar ratio ranging from 0.01 up to 0.40 have been synthesized by a new and mild wet method. The two series of samples were thoroughly characterized and resulted to be slightly different in chemical composition, but they had similar properties in terms of morphology and degree of crystallinity. Selenium release from HASe was investigated under neutral and acidic conditions to simulate both healthy tissues and the low-pH environment surrounding a tumor mass, respectively. The comparison of the release profiles at two pH values clearly showed the possibility of modulating the Se release by simply changing the amount of Se in the HASe particles. The correlation between the physicochemical properties of HASe and their dissolution as a function of pH has been also investigated to facilitate future application of the NPs as chemotherapeutic adjuvant agents. Finally, the cytotoxic activity of HASe was evaluated using prostate (PC3) and breast (MDA-MB-231) cancer cells as well as healthy human bone marrow stem cells (hBMSc). HASe NPs exerted a good cytocompatibility at low concentration of Se but, with high Se doping concentration, they displayed strong cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles are commonly used as building blocks in the design of bone-substituting biomaterials. Recently, these nanoparticles have been considered for the treatment of metastasis disease, since their pH-dependent dissolution behavior allows for precise tuning of release kinetics of loaded cargo. Herein we show that the capacity of drug-loaded nanoparticles stabilized with citrate ions reduce cancer cell survival in an embryonic zebrafish xenograft model. In particular, in vitro studies demonstrate that PtPP-loaded HA nanoparticles exhibit anti-proliferative activity against breast cancer cells at reduced pH. In vivo studies using an embryonic zebrafish xenograft model reveal that PtPP co-delivered with human breast cancer cells strongly reduce cancer cell survival. Similarly, co-injection of breast cancer cells with citrate-functionalized and PtPP-loaded HA nanoparticles into zebrafish significantly reduces survival of cancer cells due to release of chemotherapeutically active kiteplatin species. These results demonstrate the preclinical efficacy of drug-loaded nanoparticles against human breast cancer cells in a xenogenic embryonic in vivo model.
