Conversations from ESMO Targeted Anticancer Therapies Congress 2024 

Drug Discovery World

For example, progress made in developing gene mutant-specific inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates (ADC), or cellular therapies. We were excited to unveil data showing that two distinct chemical series exhibit METTL1 inhibition in vitro at low nanomolar concentrations with minimal interference with other RNA and protein methyltransferases.

HIV vaccines suffer setbacks but new approaches could turn the tide

Pharmaceutical Technology

Since HIV integrates with the DNA, eliminating the virus from the body is very difficult, explains David Montefiori, PhD, director of the Laboratory for AIDS Vaccine Research and Development at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. mRNA vaccines can be made and modified quickly compared to protein subunit vaccines, says Montefiore.
