Spotlighting Lupus Awareness Month: CAR-T Technology Creates New Avenues for Treatment of a Devastating Disease

WCG Clinical

CAR-T Cells Target Harmful B Cells in Lupus CAR-T cell technology, which uses genetic engineering to direct white blood cells to attack specific molecular targets, was originally proposed for treatment of HIV infection and hematological malignancies. In these cases B cell depletion is a feature, not a bug.

Gene Switch: A Novel Platform for Switching Genes On and Off

Roots Analysis

These genetic switches assist transcription factors in binding to the promoter region. Type of Gene Regulation Based on the type of transcription factor ( activators / repressors ), gene regulation has been categorized into positive and negative gene regulation.

The evolution of assays for immuno-oncology research

Drug Discovery World

However, over the last few decades, it has been widely accepted that interaction between the tumour and host immune response plays a critical role in regulating tumour biology and hence its progression. Over 250 clinical trials are currently in progress, and novel immuno-oncological treatments are already proving to be successful.

Accelerating NDA filing through faster carcinogenicity assessment

Drug Discovery World

This stage is more highly regulated and consists of both preclinical testing and clinical trials. Until recently, drug carcinogenicity assessment required two different in vivo studies, one of which was typically a two-year lifetime study in rats. billion and take over 10 years.
