Stem cells’ versatility in drug development  

Drug Discovery World

Select mature stem cell lines can then be used in small-scale in vitro assays, and proven biochemical and phenotypic screens supporting target validation and deconvolution studies. Through the use of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived cells, we can improve translation and reduce risk of clinical failure.

How mice with humanised immune systems are advancing cell-based immunotherapy

Drug Discovery World

In vivo models, particularly HIS models, allow preliminary investigation of cell-based therapeutic strategies—often in combination with other therapeutic modalities—to overcome the limitations and challenges of T cell-based immuno-oncology treatments and identify effective options for clinical investigation. Jespersen et al.

Gene editing in organoids: accounting for complexity in drug discovery

Drug Discovery World

Altering one base pair can drastically change how the gene’s protein product functions, while mutations can lead to the development of a range of genetic disorders. . Organoids are 3D tissue models consisting of multiple cell types that could bridge the gap between traditional 2D in vitro cultures and the actual in vivo tissue of the body.

The evolution of assays for immuno-oncology research

Drug Discovery World

Genetically modified T cells stimulated with IL2 are now administered as cell therapy for multiple cancer cell types with beneficial results 3,4. Cancer is a complex heterogenous multistep disease characterised by uncontrolled cell proliferation combined with a dysregulated immune response. This continues to be the standard of care.
