How nucleolar stress accelerates aging in mice

Drug Target Review

In a previous study, we showed that these peptides decorate all cellular RNAs and thus impair the binding of RNA-binding proteins to RNA. Initial works from the lab concentrated on exploring the role of replicative stress in cancer and ageing, for which the group combined cell biology, mouse models and drug development projects.

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. Current Opinion in Cell Biology. in North America) in late 2017.

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. Nature Chemical Biology.

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.

Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

As gene editing technologies like CRISPR progress toward clinical study, researchers must continue to advance new approaches and address inherent challenges, explains Jon Chesnut, PhD, Senior Director, Cell Biology R&D, Thermo Fisher Scientific. Early phase clinical trials for gene editing therapies. Likewise, Lessard et al.
