How Potential Changes to the NIH Guidelines Could Impact IBC Review

WCG Clinical

This change expanded the definition of HGT research to include research using nucleic acids that are able to replicate, be transcribed, translated into protein, and/or integrate into the host genome. Since then, however, certain genetic engineering technologies (e.g.,

Researchers slow down spread of melanoma 

Drug Discovery World

“The astrocytes begin to secrete a protein that promotes inflammation called MCP-1, and in response to this, the cancer cells begin to express its receptors CCR2 and CCR4, which we suspected to be responsible for the destructive communication with the astrocytes.” . Spread of metastases delayed .

The use of base editing in stem-cell based therapies

Drug Discovery World

Kevin Hemphill, R&D Manager at PerkinElmer’s Horizon Discovery explores how base editing has emerged as an attractive gene editing option for researchers wanting to develop stem cell-based therapies. In addition, iPSC lines, despite their pluripotency, have skewed suitability towards certain cell types 12,13.

Using bispecific antibodies to advance cancer immunotherapy

pharmaphorum

Using chimeric quadromas, common light chains, and recombinant proteins in bsAb production offers solutions to this issue by limiting the options for association, thus promoting H chain heterodimerisation and forcing cognate HL-chain pairing.
