Precision cancer therapies: Where are we?

Drug Discovery World

AVA6000 is a pre|CISION tumour-targeted form of the established chemotherapy doxorubicin; designed to limit cell penetration of the drug — and therefore its cell killing effect — until it is specifically activated by fibroblast activation protein α (FAP), which is in high concentration in many solid tumours compared with healthy tissues.

Ensuring reliable assays: Why the ideal microplate is an invisible one

Drug Discovery World

Early operations focused on the discovery of green fluorescent protein (GFP), which played a very big role in early drug discovery research operations using cellular assays. But it comes with surface charge that will absorb proteins, DNA, and other things, unless you do something to treat that surface.

AI test could predict best cancer therapies for patients

pharmaphorum

Researchers at the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London have designed a prototype test that they think could be used to predict which combinations are likely to work in cancer patients within two days. The researchers are already planning a larger follow-up study which will test 15 drugs and look at 12,000 tumour cell proteins.

International Women’s Day 2024: A Spotlight on 5 Women’s Health Webinars with Xtalks

XTalks

Other issues include medical systems that can often be dismissive of women’s health concerns or experiences, and historically less research on women’s health, which together, can lead to late diagnoses or misdiagnoses. Through this, researchers can pinpoint breast cancer cell types and their phenotypic states.
