BioNTech shelves oral mRNA vaccine plans with Matinas

Pharmaceutical Technology

The in vivo study, conducted in mice, involved a phosphatidylserine-containing nano-formulation of mRNA supplied by BioNTech, distinct from traditional lipid nanocrystals (LNCs). Whilst the formulation had been successful in vitro , the oral administration in mice did not elicit activity.

Conversations from ESMO Targeted Anticancer Therapies Congress 2024 

Drug Discovery World

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. In vivo, METTL1 inhibitors induce tumour growth inhibition in both immune-deficient and immune-competent mouse strains.

Are organ-chips the future of preclinical research?

Drug Discovery World

With cues from a diverse population of tissue-specific cell types, extracellular matrix proteins, and biomechanical forces, cells grown in organ-chips closely emulate their in vivo counterparts and replicate tissue-level functions. But can organ-chips entirely replace other models? Not yet, according to Ewart.

Cell-penetrating peptides as a delivery system for oligonucleotides

Drug Discovery World

These peptides typically contain up to 30 amino acids and can be cationic, amphipathic or both. Currently, only a small number of CPP-based oligonucleotide delivery examples have been reported for in vivo application. Plus, in numerous in vitro experiments, the conjugate has been able to specifically enter ? Nanoparticles 6.

AvantGen Announces Licensing of Its Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies to IGM Biosciences for COVID-19 Therapy Development

The Pharma Data

Our antibody clones in their original IgG format have shown potent neutralization activity in in vitro assays and, in the case of our lead clone, in an in vivo animal model. Upon binding, the antibodies block the spike protein from interacting with ACE2 and thereby prevent virus-induced cell-killing, also known as cytopathic effect.
