Tumor immune evasion mechanisms could be reversed by activating intracellular antiviral immune responses. It has been reported that the use of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitors combined with poly(ADP ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors activated stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway in a process named pathogen mimicry response.
Mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) plays a relevant role in growth, survival, migration and tissue repair. Alterations in MET have been found in non-small-cell lung cancer and head and neck cancer, and are associated with aggressive and difficult-to-treat cancer types.
Scientists at the University of Wisconsin Madison and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute recently presented preclinical data for the radiopharmaceutical therapy candidate [177Lu]PNT-6555.
Researchers from Sichuan Baili Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. and Systimmune Inc. presented preclinical data for the novel CD33-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) being evaluated for the treatment of hematologic malignancies.
α-Fetoprotein (AFP) is a tumor-associated antigen and an ideal target for T-cell receptor T-cell (TCR-T) therapy. While the safety of AFP-targeting TCR-T products has been previously demonstrated in early clinical trials, the efficacy of these cell therapies is still modest, warranting further research.
Researchers from Gempharmatech Co. Ltd. presented a new humanized mouse model for preclinical research into the functionality and therapeutic potential of IL-12.
Researchers from ADC Therapeutics SA presented the discovery and preclinical evaluation of a novel camptothecin-based Claudin-6-specific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), GB01-VA-PL2202.
Researchers from Peptidream Inc. presented preclinical characterization of novel carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX)-targeting radiopeptides, [64Cu]PD-32766 and [177Lu]PD-32766, being developed for the diagnosis and treatment of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), respectively.
Researchers from Egle Therapeutics SAS presented the discovery of a novel immunocytokine, EGL-001, designed to selectively target tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells (Tregs).
The TEAD family of transcription factors are regulated by the Hippo tumor suppressor pathway and they act by binding the co-activators YAP and TAZ that drive the transcription of genes involved in cell survival, proliferation, migration, differentiation and resistance.
