Scottish drug discovery: advancing new research models

Drug Discovery World

The aim of the researchers is to understand the mechanisms that regulate cancer cell proliferation, survival and dissemination; to identify critical components of these pathways as targets for novel cancer therapies; and to help translate this knowledge to patient benefit. Phenotyping, in contrast, can produce a hit/lead without a target.

However, over the last few decades, it has been widely accepted that interaction between the tumour and host immune response plays a critical role in regulating tumour biology and hence its progression. The number of new cases recorded between 2016 and 2018 was 375,400, with 167,142 deaths caused by cancer between 2017 and 2019.

RNA Therapeutics: A Novel Approach to Treating Diseases

Roots Analysis

In the last few years, researchers have become interested in using in vitro transcribed (IVT) mRNA as a drug delivery agent. It is important to highlight that IVT mRNAs are structurally similar to natural mRNAs and can be used to express proteins through genetic engineering.
