CRISPR breakthroughs: New solutions for common diseases

Drug Discovery World

Incorporating in vivo pooled CRISPR screens has allowed for the interrogation of thousands of genetic perturbations in cells, leading to the determination of the involvement of molecules (PTPN2, ADAR1, or DHX37) in immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) responsiveness and T cell activation.

The evolution of assays for immuno-oncology research

Drug Discovery World

The first such research dates back to 1891, when William Coley attempted to inject heat-inactivated bacteria to treat osteosarcoma. Genetically modified T cells stimulated with IL2 are now administered as cell therapy for multiple cancer cell types with beneficial results 3,4. This continues to be the standard of care.
