Decoding stem cells for personalised regenerative medicine

Drug Target Review

In research published in Scientific Reports , 1 investigators focused on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), known for their potential in treating cell defects and regulating immune responses. We are studying the placement of organelles within cells and how they communicate to help better treat disease,” said Coskun.

4-1BB and the critical importance of local control

SugarCone Biotech

Targeting 4-1BB remained of interest to the immuno-oncology field as cell culture experiments and tumor models in mice suggested that robust anti-tumor immune responses could be triggered by anti-4-1BB antibody therapies. This is the T cell type most closely associated with anti-tumor immune responses.

Rare autoantibody diseases: an innovative targeted pathway

Drug Target Review

Antibodies protect us by attaching to molecules on those invaders (known as antigens) and triggering our body’s natural immune response to destroy them. This can create an abnormal immune response that attacks the cells of our bodies and contributes to the development of autoantibody diseases.
