Conversations from ESMO Targeted Anticancer Therapies Congress 2024 

Drug Discovery World

For example, progress made in developing gene mutant-specific inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates (ADC), or cellular therapies. We were excited to unveil data showing that two distinct chemical series exhibit METTL1 inhibition in vitro at low nanomolar concentrations with minimal interference with other RNA and protein methyltransferases.

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. This method is generally used to deliver small interfering RNA (siRNA), but it can also be used for larger oligonucleotides too. Oligonucleotide. Anti-miRNA.

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. Transcriptionally active’ cells in which HIV RNA is actively transcribed to make copies of the virus (despite long-term ART).

Angelman Syndrome Market: Insights Into The Recent Late-Stage Drug Failures And Novel Approaches To Treating This Rare Neurogenetic Disorder

Delveinsight

Angelman syndrome is a result of the missing or dysfunctional gene known as UBE3A. The gene is responsible for the normal and healthy development of an individual physically as well intellectually. Angelman syndrome (AS) is a complex genetic rare disorder that affects the nervous system.

Preparing for new-era drug modalities with technology 

Drug Discovery World

Prior to the pandemic, messenger RNA (mRNA) drug development was niche and predominantly pointed at different disease targets, including infectious diseases and cancers. Why mRNA has potential . One aspect that makes mRNA technology popular with drug developers is that its proteins can be easily edited. The rise of global demand .
