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. They are used to treat cancers including melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer, but work only for a small fraction of patients. “We

Two-dimensional cell models were the cornerstone of cellular assays in early drug discovery for years, yet the system lacks the genetic and epigenetic background of the patient and the cell-to-cell spatial architecture and cellular signalling between cells of different types within the tissue architecture.

NK cells are among the front line of protection from infected and abnormal cells as part of the ‘innate immune response’. 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).

The heart does have limited regenerative capacity, but not enough of the healthy cells that capable of restoring function, making it difficult to recover from injuries such as myocardial infarction. However, cell-based therapies are intended to leverage those healthy cells via transplant to regenerate damaged tissue.
