A new way of understanding Alzheimer’s disease, based on biological inflection points that mark decisive moments in the progression of the disorder, could change how new drugs are developed to achieve more effective therapies. This new perspective could rethink strategies that depend not so much on the target itself, but on the precise moment at which it is addressed.
Suzhou Bioreinno Biotechnology Ltd. Co. has identified antibody-drug conjugates comprising antibodies covalently linked to a cytotoxic drug through a linker. They are reported to be useful for diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
