Bladder cancer is among the top 10 malignant tumors, still with a high mortality rate. There is a need for reliable biomarkers for early diagnosis of the disease. Proximity extension analysis (PEA) is a method that uses a quantitative PCR readout to analyze protein levels in plasma in longitudinal studies and genomic association studies.

It has been previously demonstrated that while cancer cells with defects in ataxia telangiectasia mutated kinase (ATM) signaling are susceptible to ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) inhibition following treatment with DNA-damaging drugs, normal cells can tolerate ATR inhibition by activating an ATM-mediated compensatory DNA damage response.
Conformation-X Therapeutics LLC has closed an oversubscribed funding tranche of $3.65 million to support the company’s development of a pipeline of immunotherapies that activate both the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system.
