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.

Unlocking the potential of mRNA for the future treatment of rare diseases 

Drug Discovery World

This presents a unique opportunity for mRNA-based therapies to potentially restore normal cell function by supplying copies of the functional transcript for the cell to read. mRNA enables the delivery of a transiently expressed genetic molecule that is translated into a target protein using the machinery of the host cell.

AI test could predict best cancer therapies for patients

pharmaphorum

The technique uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse protein data harvested from tumour cells, using an algorithm trained by looking at changes to 52 proteins when they are exposed to a panel of targeted anticancer drugs. The post AI test could predict best cancer therapies for patients appeared first on.

Blood Donor Day 2023: Experts weigh in 

Drug Discovery World

Besides looking at donor characteristics, our platform, which we call Excellos 360TM, includes the assessment of metabolic and effector potential of cells, and genetic analysis. According to the spokesperson, blood donorship is hugely important for the development of new and potentially transformative macrophage cell therapies.
