Targeted drug treatment leads tumor cells to imitate viral infection

Broad Institute

Targeted drug treatment leads tumor cells to imitate viral infection By Ari Navetta July 11, 2024 Breadcrumb Home Targeted drug treatment leads tumor cells to imitate viral infection Exploiting "viral mimicry," mIDH1 inhibitors trick tumors into thinking they are infected with a virus.

Involvement of extracellular vesicles in the proinflammatory response to clozapine: implications for clozapine-induced agranulocytosis [Toxicology]

ASPET

Most idiosyncratic drug reactions (IDRs) appear to be immune-mediated, but mechanistic events preceding severe reaction onset remain poorly defined. Moreover, treatment of drug-naïve THP-1 cells with clozapine-exposed EVs induced an inflammasome-dependent response, supporting a potential role for EVs in immune activation.

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.

Advancements in hit identification for membrane protein drug discovery

Drug Target Review

Involved in various physiological processes, such as vision, taste, smell, immune response and neurotransmission, GPCRs are activated by various molecules including hormones, neurotransmitters and environmental stimuli, which trigger a cascade of cellular events that help regulate bodily functions.

’1104: tackling the root cause of allergic disease

Drug Target Review

Additionally, ‘1104 increases the number of activated regulatory T and B cells, which help modulate the immune response and maintain immune tolerance, preventing the immune system from entering overdrive. As such, ‘1104 uniquely affects both the effector and regulatory arms of the immune response.

Johnson & Johnson Posts Interim Results from Phase 1/2a Clinical Trial of its Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate

The Pharma Data

The data demonstrate that a single dose of JNJ-78436735 induced a strong neutralizing antibody response in nearly all participants aged 18 years and older and was generally well-tolerated. Immune responses were similar across the age groups studied, including older adults. Immune Response Data.
