Conversations from ESMO Targeted Anticancer Therapies Congress 2024 

Drug Discovery World

Additional approaches, such as profiling of RNA and proteins, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI), could be key to providing a more comprehensive picture of a patient’s tumour and enable the use of optimised treatments. MT: Why was STORM attending the conference? MT: What data did you present at the conference?

FDA-approved drug sensitises brain cancer cells to radiotherapy

Drug Discovery World

They showed that diacylglycerol kinase B (DGKB), a regulator of the intracellular level of diacylglycerol (DAG), was significantly suppressed in radioresistant GBM cells. Researchers have discovered a clinical drug that sensitises glioblastoma (GBM) cells to radiotherapy and could replace the current standard of care.

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).

RNA Therapeutics: A Novel Approach to Treating Diseases

Roots Analysis

RNA therapeutics are a novel class of biopharmaceuticals that harness the power of RNA molecules for the treatment and prevention of a wide range of disorders, including oncological, and genetic disorders as well as infectious diseases. Non-coding RNAs include antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and RNA aptamers.

Statement from Pfizer Chairman and CEO Albert Bourla on Testing Positive for COVID-19

Pfizer

Nirmatrelvir is designed to inhibit viral replication at a stage known as proteolysis, which occurs before viral RNA replication. Current variants of concern can be resistant to treatments that work by binding to the spike protein found on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. FDA Emergency Use Authorization Statement.

The Utility of Liquid Biopsy in Oncology Clinical Trials

XTalks

Liquid biopsy tests in oncology involve isolating entities such as circulating tumor cells (CTC), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and tumor-derived exosomes. These tumor-derived entities are used to derive genomic and proteomic data. The same webinar held a Q&A session with Dr. Bahassi and two other experts from Medpace, Dr. Lyon L.
