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.

FDA-approved drug sensitises brain cancer cells to radiotherapy

Drug Discovery World

They showed that diacylglycerol kinase B (DGKB), a regulator of the intracellular level of diacylglycerol (DAG), was significantly suppressed in radioresistant GBM cells. Researchers have discovered a clinical drug that sensitises glioblastoma (GBM) cells to radiotherapy and could replace the current standard of care.

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.

Biologics – The Next Step in Revolutionary Medication

Roots Analysis

Like all drugs, biologics are regulated by the FDA. Biologics activate certain proteins or cells in your immune system to create specific responses to targets, while many conventional systemic drugs activate the entire immune system in a more generalized manner.

Rising Demand for DNA and Gene Cloning  Service Providers

Roots Analysis

DNA cloning refers to the process of generating multiple copies of a particular DNA segment. DNA and Gene Cloning involves the isolation of a DNA sequence of any species ( often a gene ) and its insertion into a vector to enable growth without any alteration in the original DNA sequence.

Researchers Discover Genetic Errors and Rogue Antibodies in Cases of Severe COVID-19 Infection

XTalks

The research shows that the activity of the immune messenger type 1 interferon (IFN) protein is diminished, either by genetic mutations or an autoimmune attack by neutralizing antibodies against it, in a subset of COVID-19 patients.

What the Glycome Can Tell Us About Persistent HIV Infection

XTalks

Studies have identified the presence of two types of HIV-infected CD4+ T cells: ‘Transcriptionally inactive’ cells that do not typically produce viral RNA or viral proteins. This may help explain why HIV is adequately controlled, but not eradicated, with current treatments. The research study was published in Cell Reports.
