FDA-approved drug sensitises brain cancer cells to radiotherapy

Drug Discovery World

Researchers have discovered a clinical drug that sensitises glioblastoma (GBM) cells to radiotherapy and could replace the current standard of care. In addition, they discovered that cladribine, a clinical drug, activates DGKB and inhibits DGAT1. GBM is a WHO grade IV brain tumour with dismal prognosis.

Preparing for new-era drug modalities with technology 

Drug Discovery World

Prior to the pandemic, messenger RNA (mRNA) drug development was niche and predominantly pointed at different disease targets, including infectious diseases and cancers. The value of that versatility is reflected by the number of mRNA-based therapeutics in clinical trials. Why mRNA has potential . The rise of global demand .

The use of base editing in stem-cell based therapies

Drug Discovery World

In cell therapy, regenerative and adoptive immunotherapies continue to bridge the gap between genetic engineering strategies and their clinical application. This circumvents several technical challenges inherent to the genetic manipulation of differentiated cells in ex vivo culture or intact tissues.
