Machine learning: A useful tool in the development of next generation antibody therapeutics

Drug Discovery World

Modern experimental procedures, such as immunisation, B-cell screening, and synthetic library generation, have been pivotal in developing approximately 80 FDA-approved antibody therapeutics. These targets, along with many others, are universally deemed as ‘difficult-to-drug’ targets.

Mathematical model can speed up Alzheimer’s drug development

Drug Discovery World

Researchers have created a mathematical model that can accurately depict Alzheimer’s disease progression in individual patients, paving the way for personalised treatment and faster development of therapies. The post Mathematical model can speed up Alzheimer’s drug development appeared first on Drug Discovery World (DDW).

An Evolving Regulatory Environment for Rare and Orphan Diseases

Advarra

A rare, or orphan, disease by definition affects a small percentage of the population — fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. But the numbers add up, and taken together, rare diseases impact an estimated 30 million Americans. Before 1983, only 38 orphan drugs had received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.

Can liquid biopsies transform precision medicine?

Drug Discovery World

Liquid biopsies have specific advantages over the current gold standard for tumour characterisation, tissue biopsies: not only are they less invasive and less costly, they provide results faster, are more suitable for longitudinal disease monitoring and less likely to cause harmful side effects.

Advanced 3D cell-based technologies

Drug Target Review

The chips can be modelled with primary cells, IPS derived stem cells or patient derived cells and potentiates to unlock molecular mechanisms that drive the disease pathophysiology, holding a greater promise. The first successful chip adaptation to a lung model was first described in 2010 by Donald Ingber, a bioengineer at Wyss institute.
