The mission of Lineage Cell Therapeutics is to deliver on some of the early promises of cell therapy. Cell therapy as a concept is a wonderful idea, but many of the early efforts never generated the kind of clinical data that gets people excited and leads to new medicines. Could you give us an overview of the Lineage platform?

In cancer, the eIF4F complex becomes dysregulated, leading to the excessive production of these proteins, which contribute to tumour formation and resistance to treatment. How do STRIs differ from traditional cancer therapies, and what advantages do they bring? That second hurdle is translation initiation, activated by eIF4F.
