Researchers at Araris Biotech AG have developed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) technology that allows single-step connection of antibody to drug via a novel RKAA peptide linker that stably prevents the drug from acting systemically.

Multiple myeloma bone disease (MBD) lacks effective biomarkers; recent evidence involves exosomal circRNAs in the progression of cancer, but their roles in the field have not been deeply explored. The aim of this study was to explore the role of component of oligomeric golgi complex 5 (COG5) and shed light on its osteolytic mechanism.

Researchers from the National Cancer Institute and their collaborators have presented data regarding a MLK3-degrading PROTAC, CEP1347-VHL-02, for treating triple-negative breast cancer.

An RNA interference (RNAi) molecule that selectively targets the KRAS G12V mutation could represent a key advance in the treatment of cancer associated with this oncogenic variant. Researchers at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill, in collaboration with Enfuego Therapeutics Inc., have developed a new RNAi designed to enter cells through the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which is commonly overexpressed in tumor cells. This targeted entry pathway could minimize the side effects associated with therapies that affect KRAS.

At the Annual Congress of the European Association for Cancer Research (EACR) in Lisbon, multiple sessions aimed to provide fresh perspectives on the always challenging treatment of cancer, with a strong focus on innovative strategies.

Researchers at Queen’s University of Belfast and collaborators have developed a DNA vaccine against high-grade serous ovarian cancer. The vaccine encodes PRAME, which the researchers found to be upregulated in several cohorts of patients with the malignancy.
