Cell and gene therapy development moves into cardiac indications

Drug Target Review

Cell and gene therapies (CGTs) have made significant advancements in treating oncological diseases, with therapies like CAR-T cell treatments transforming cancer care. However, cell-based therapies are intended to leverage those healthy cells via transplant to regenerate damaged tissue.

Cancer immunotherapy: GDF-15’s role in Anti-PD-1 resistance

Drug Target Review

Neutralising GDF-15 with CatalYm’s anti-GDF-15 antibody visugromab was shown to reverse its inhibitory effects and to re-sensitise tumours to anti-PD-1 treatment, achieving commensurate survival benefit of anti-GDF-15-anti-PD-1 combination therapy in vivo. in North America) in late 2017.

CAR-NK cells: promising for cancer therapy

Drug Target Review

They recognise ‘cell stress molecules’ on the surface of infected, old, injured and cancerous cells without the need for complex pre-stimulation signals of the adaptive immune system (eg, T cells). NK cells can be readily extracted from umbilical cord blood or peripheral blood of adult donors.

A research team searches for every gene that helps tumors evade immunotherapy

Broad Institute

By Allessandra DiCorato October 11, 2023 In 2011, Robert Manguso was working in a cell biology lab when his mother was diagnosed with Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare and aggressive skin cancer. The team found that deleting the gene Ptpn2 made tumors sensitive to PD-1 therapy, and they published their findings in Nature in 2017.
