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.

Transforming Biomanufacturing: Potential of Cell Free Systems

Roots Analysis

Overview of Cell Free Systems Cell-free systems are ­in-vitro platforms which allow occurrence of biochemical reactions in the absence of living cells. Additionally, these types of cell free systems do not contain proteases and nucleases as crude cell lysates, which further helps in improving the production of many proteins.

Roche introduces 15-minute nasal COVID test in UK

pharmaphorum

COVID-19 antigen tests diagnose active infection by detecting SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins in samples, as opposed to PCR tests which detect viral RNA and require lab processing, but can miss infections with low virus levels. The test – which can also be self-collected – showed a sensitivity of 93.8%

Taking an ‘upside-down’ approach to mRNA delivery

pharmaphorum

As it stands, mRNA vaccines and therapeutics can only provide benefits if they can reach the living cells and be processed into protein. The intracellular barriers include endosomal escape, RNA sensors, and endonucleases. The intracellular barriers include endosomal escape, RNA sensors, and endonucleases.

Roche to launch SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Antigen Test in countries accepting CE mark, allowing fast triage decisions at point of care

The Pharma Data

with whom Roche has a global distribution agreement and had also launched a Rapid Antibody Test in July. Antigen test reliably and quickly triages people suspected of SARS-CoV-2, with results ready in 15 minutes, allowing informed treatment decisions. Roche also intends to file for Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA) to the U.S.

Cell-penetrating peptides as a delivery system for oligonucleotides

Drug Discovery World

Oligonucleotides act on the RNA level through different molecular pathways, but there is a major drawback when using them as drugs: their poor bioavailability and cellular uptake. Over the years, a range of different CPPs have been developed, including natural translocating proteins through to newly-designed computer-prediction sequences 3.

RNA Therapeutics: A Novel Approach to Treating Diseases

Roots Analysis

RNA therapeutics are a novel class of biopharmaceuticals that harness the power of RNA molecules for the treatment and prevention of a wide range of disorders, including oncological, and genetic disorders as well as infectious diseases. Non-coding RNAs include antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and RNA aptamers.
