Most clinically relevant T-cell receptor (TCR)-engineered T cells are typically tested in immunocompromised mice, allowing human T-cell engraftment but failing to replicate the complex interactions of a functioning immune system in patients. While humanized mouse models exist, they face challenges with incomplete immune reconstitution and technical complexity.
Researchers from University of Athens and National Centre For Scientific Research “Demokritos” have reported preclinical data from a study that aimed to assess the novel cryptochrome-2 (CRY2) stabilizer TH-301 in models of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). It was seen that treatment with TH-301 led to significant dose-, time- and cell type-dependent decreases in viability.
Oxford Drug Design Ltd. has announced additional in vivo validation for its novel approach against cancer. The innovative approach, using generative AI capabilities, is based on the novel target leucyl-tRNA synthetase.
Axcynsis Therapeutics Pte Ltd. has gained IND clearance from the FDA for AT03-65 for the treatment of patients with CLDN6-positive solid tumors. Axcynsis is planning to initiate a phase I trial in the U.S. during the current quarter in patients with advanced CLDN6-positive solid tumors.
Southern Medical University scientists have reported the discovery and preclinical characterization of novel microtubule-inhibiting agents being developed for the treatment of cancer.
Silexion Therapeutics Corp. has released new preclinical results demonstrating the synergistic efficacy of its proprietary second-generation siRNA candidate, SIL-204, in combination with components of first-line chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer.
Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is an aggressive tumor derived from mature T cells and natural killer cells with an extremely poor prognosis. Ferroptosis is a mechanism of cell death that is dependent on iron characterized by reactive oxygen species accumulation and lipid peroxidation.
A new study published in the Journal for Immunotherapy of Cancer has presented a promising advancement in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
