mRNA Cancer Vaccines and Therapies: An Overview

Advarra

Adoptive T Cell therapies, therapeutic antibodies, and immunomodulatory proteins represent just some of the potentially beneficial treatment strategies for successful mRNA cancer trials. The mRNA constructs used in COVID-19 vaccines, for example, direct cells to produce a version of the “spike” protein studding the surface of SARS-CoV-2.

Advancements in upstream CLD for enhanced biotherapeutics production

Drug Discovery World

In addition, it has stimulated increased collaboration among drug developers, technology providers, supply chain organisations, and regulators. Next-generation engineering tools, such as gene editing have enabled knock-out cell lines with enhanced characteristics. Biotechnol Bioeng 2012;118:2326. Budge JD, Knight TJ, Povey J, et al.

Q&A with Mark Garner: The golden age of cancer research  

Drug Discovery World

For example, in CAR-T-cell therapy, scientists can take T-cells from a patient and ex vivo (outside the body) genetically engineer them to effectively target and kill cancerous cells, then infuse them back in to the patient. Of course, if a patient’s tumour does not have this protein, then this type of treatment won’t be effective.

Scottish drug discovery: advancing new research models

Drug Discovery World

The aim of the researchers is to understand the mechanisms that regulate cancer cell proliferation, survival and dissemination; to identify critical components of these pathways as targets for novel cancer therapies; and to help translate this knowledge to patient benefit.

Gene Switch: A Novel Platform for Switching Genes On and Off

Roots Analysis

Further, the expression of any gene is dependent on the rate at which it is transcribed into mRNA and translated into proteins. There are various regulatory proteins or transcription factors that are responsible for affecting the transcription rate. These genetic switches assist transcription factors in binding to the promoter region.
