Applications of engineered exosomes in drugging noncoding RNAs for cancer therapy

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Exosome engineering can be conducted through surface and content modification of biological exosomes. In preisolation method, parental cells are stimulated to express some special genes like lncRNAs, miRNAs, and receptors to have the capacity to bind to the target cells and deliver their content.

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.

A T cell receptor immunotherapy against a novel target

Drug Target Review

How does Immunocore’s TCR technology differentiate itself from other approaches to targeted cancer therapy? Can you explain the mechanism of action by which ImmTAC molecules selectively target and kill cancer cells?

Patient-derived organoids in disease modelling

Drug Target Review

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.

2021 Hansen Family Award goes to Professor Kai Johnsson

The Pharma Data

The research scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research received the award in recognition of his ground-breaking work in establishing various approaches to protein labeling in living cells that have enabled far-reaching advances in chemical and cell biology. Protein labeling (e.g.

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.

Codon Digest: CAR-T Therapy for Neuroblastoma

Codon

“Computer science is to biology what calculus is to physics.” ” — Harold Morowitz 🔥 Ten Amazing Things (that happened this week…) A CAR-T therapy was tested in 27 children with neuroblastomas. The CAR-T cells were detectable in 26 out of 27 children after 30 months. Support for $5 per month.
