FDA-approved drug sensitises brain cancer cells to radiotherapy

Drug Discovery World

This action sensitised GBM cells to radiotherapy both in vitro and in vivo (in mouse models). “Our research has revealed cladribine as a radiosensitiser for GBM treatment by drug repurposing, which can offer multiple advantages,” says Prof Youn. “As GBM is a WHO grade IV brain tumour with dismal prognosis.

Taking an ‘upside-down’ approach to mRNA delivery

pharmaphorum

The intracellular barriers include endosomal escape, RNA sensors, and endonucleases. There are a variety of mRNA delivery methods that have been developed in an attempt to navigate the challenges, such as direct injection of naked mRNA, lipid-based carriers, polymers, and protein derivatives.

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.
