Breast cancer has been identified as one of the main cancer-related deaths among women during some last decades. Recent advances in the introduction of novel potent anti-cancer therapeutics in association with early detection methods led to a decrease in the mortality rate of breast cancer. However, the scenario of breast cancer is yet going on and further improvements in the current anti-cancer therapeutic approaches are needed. Several factors are present in the tumor microenvironment which help to cancer progression and suppression of anti-tumor responses. Targeting these cancer-promoting factors in the tumor microenvironment has been suggested as a potent immunotherapeutic approach for cancer therapy. Among the various tumorsupporting factors, Cyclin-Dependent Kinases (CDKs) are proposed as a novel promising target for cancer therapy. These factors in association with cyclins play a key role in cell cycle progression. Dysregulation of CDKs which leads to increased cell proliferation has been identified in various cancers, such as breast cancer. Accordingly, the development and use of CDK-inhibitors have been associated with encouraging results in the treatment of breast cancer. However, it is unknown that the inhibition of which CDK is the most effective strategy for breast cancer therapy. Since the selective blockage of CDK1 alone or in combination with other therapeutics has been associated with potent anti-cancer outcomes, it is suggested that CDK1 may be considered as the best CDK target for breast cancer therapy. In this review, we will discuss the role of CDK1 in breast cancer progression and treatment.

Following the demand for novel techniques for breast cancer therapy, the experimental development of liposome delivery systems is moving rapidly. There is, however, no clear concept or road map for designing the unique formulation of the liposome for breast cancer. Most papers select targeting and triggering modalities based on molecular subtypes of the tumor and existing conventional therapy. Although conventional liposome-formulated chemotherapeutic drugs have been widely used in clinical practice in the treatment of breast cancer, clinical acceptance of these innovative liposome formulations poses some hurdles. When synthesizing such liposomes, the triggering mechanisms must be further investigated. For example, for light-triggered liposomes, the phospholipid component must be selected depending on photo-induced processes. Unsaturated phospholipids would be used when using a photochemical pathway, such as a photo-oxidative reaction. In addition, the active components in the triggerable liposome formulation must be modified to balance healthy tissue benefits and dangers.From the perspective of therapeutic applications, future development of liposome technology will help long-term breast cancer patients. Many studies have demonstrated that various drug-charged liposome architectures can minimize cardiotoxicity, address drug resistance, and improve overall drug release profiles. These liposomes also present opportunities for site-specific therapy by modifying the liposome surface with targeted ligands, lowering non-specific effects of traditional chemotherapeutic drugs. The new generation of triggering characteristics of liposomes enables much more precise management of payload release, greatly enhancing therapy outcomes for breast cancer patients. Liposome formulations can widen the spectrum of drug/gene delivery possibilities for breast cancer therapy, addressing critical medication toxicity concerns and limited therapeutic effectiveness.
