USC researchers have engineered CAR T cells to deliver a dual protein therapy that targets solid tumours – offering hope for cancers previously resistant to treatment.
A new review has highlighted how three-dimensional organoid models are transforming cancer research by replicating the complexity of human tumours – bringing precision oncology closer to the clinic.
New research highlights how cancer hijacks the unfolded protein response (UPR) in bone cells – potentially allowing for the development of therapies that target this pathway to prevent fractures.
Researchers at Sutter’s California Pacific Medical Center have discovered a potential new treatment strategy for melanoma patients who stop responding to immunotherapy.
Circulating tumour cell (CTC)-derived organoids are changing cancer research, providing scientists with a powerful tool for studying drug resistance and informing the development of new personalised therapies.
A new research study has discovered that targeted antioxidants could restore T cell function – offering a potential boost for cancer immunotherapies like CAR-T.
Researchers at the University of Birmingham have developed a single-cell technique to track boron inside live tumour cells – making Boron Neutron Capture Therapy more effective in treating head and neck cancers.
Researchers have developed the first high-throughput tool to rapidly profile RNA modifications – a breakthrough that could lead to more precise treatments for cancer and antibiotic-resistant infections.
CAR T therapies are saving lives, but toxicities such as CRS and ICANS remain a major barrier. What will it take to overcome them?
AI is increasingly used in drug discovery, but hidden bias and ‘black box’ models threaten trust and transparency. This article explores how explainable AI can turn opaque predictions into clear, accountable insights.
Researchers have tested a new cancer drug in pet cats with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma – a disease notoriously hard to treat. The trial showed the therapy controlled cancer in 35 percent of cats with minimal side effects – and it could help to treat humans too.
Most gene therapies rely on static DNA promoters to control gene activity, but nature uses far more sophisticated tools. Dr Matthew Dale explores how harnessing RNA-level control could enable treatments that sense and respond in real time, offering unprecedented precision and safety.
Kyoto University researchers have discovered a new DNA-organising protein complex called STAG3-cohesin – a protein that appears in human B cells and blood cancers. This discovery could potentially lead to new approaches for treating infertility and certain cancers.
Developing robust potency assays for Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) is crucial for ensuring their clinical success, but designing assays that meet both technical and regulatory standards is challenging. Here, Abzena’s CSO Campbell Bunce explores the complexities of assay development and the importance of ensuring accuracy, consistency and regulatory alignment for ADCs…
