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

Drug Target Review

We will explore how GDF-15 impacts the tumour microenvironment and hinders the infiltration of T cells into the tumour, as well as the implications of neutralising GDF-15 to reverse its inhibitory effects and sensitise tumours to anti-PD-1 treatment. T-cell infiltration is a prerequisite for responses to checkpoint inhibitors.

When I was studying cell biology, looking at how cells divide, I couldn’t fathom how math could possibly fit into that. My undergraduate studies focused on biochemistry and cell biology, so very much STEM-based, but my professors and mentors noticed my penchant for critical thinking which led me to consider law.

Precision Medicine in the Genomic Era

DrugBank

The general notion is that patients should be viewed individually, rather than strictly as members of some larger general population, and that their specific genetic background, environment, and lifestyle choices should be considered throughout drug development to the point of treatment and continuing patient care.
