Brain organoids: a fascinating and powerful tool for drug discovery

Drug Target Review

Since brain organoids can be derived from either diseased or healthy patients, they can recapitulate human (patho)physiology making them a better choice compared to mammalian cell systems that often fail to recapitulate the human phenotype. 15(9):700-706 (2018) [link] Deshmukh V, et al. 12(3) (2023). link] Madhavan M, et al.

National Cancer Research Month: Celebrating drug discovery innovation

Drug Discovery World

These targeted cytokines are selectively removed with the intention of neutralising the cancer’s ability to block a patient’s natural immune defence mechanisms, which are significantly compromised in late-stage, metastatic disease. This potentially re-energises the immune system to fight cancers.”

Antibody-drug conjugates payloads: then, now and next

Drug Target Review

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have been a groundbreaking approach to cancer treatment with their ability to deliver cytotoxic drugs directly to diseased cells while sparing healthy tissues. This targeted delivery allows enhanced therapeutic efficacy while reducing the harmful side effects commonly associated with traditional chemotherapy.
