Conversations from ESMO Targeted Anticancer Therapies Congress 2024 

Drug Discovery World

More importantly, it also highlighted that significant challenges remain in selecting the right therapies for the right patients despite the progress made through genomic testing and implementation of circulating tumour (ct) DNA analyses. We were there to present the latest findings from our research.

Osimertinib Resistance and EGFR Mutations in NSCLC Treatment

Bioengineer

This mutation hinders the drug’s binding to the mutant EGFR protein. Osimertinib, however, can covalently bind to the T790M and cysteine-797 (C797) residue at the protein’s ATP binding site, overcoming resistance mechanisms. In the same study, those with T790M loss had a shorter treatment duration (6.1 months vs. 15.2

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.

RNA interference method could treat muscular dystrophy

Drug Discovery World

The genetic anomaly blocks the chemical glycosylation of a biologically important protein. Using an experimental technique called exon skipping by antisense oligonucleotides, the team corrected a mistake in the FKTN gene that blocks the chemical glycosylation of a biologically important protein. . Modifying RNA function.

Personalized Blood Test Detecting ctDNA Can Help Predict Lung Cancer Relapse

XTalks

Cancerous cells and tumors release small fragments of DNA into the bloodstream called circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA). The researchers at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute published this data from the LUng cancer CIrculating tumour DNA (LUCID) study in the journal Annals of Oncology. Photo source: Inivata.
