Researchers from Bengbu Medical College have discovered new derivatives of honokiol, a biphenyl neolignan extracted from Magnolia species, which has been shown to possess pharmacological properties, including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-infectious and neuroprotective activities. A total of 21 new honokiol derivatives were synthesized, with derivative [I] being selected as the lead with the most potent in vitro cytotoxic activity.
Replay Holdings LLC has announced a research collaboration between Jura Bio Inc. and Syena, a cell therapy product company launched by Replay and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center earlier this year, to develop T-cell receptor (TCR)-based therapies.
A new method of CAR T-cell immunotherapy developed by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine could serve as a treatment for most blood cancers. Until now, CAR T-based immunotherapy for hematological malignancies has targeted the antigens CD19 for B cells, CD7 for T cells, BCMA for myeloma, and CD33 for AML.
