FDA-approved drug sensitises brain cancer cells to radiotherapy

Drug Discovery World

This action sensitised GBM cells to radiotherapy both in vitro and in vivo (in mouse models). “Our research has revealed cladribine as a radiosensitiser for GBM treatment by drug repurposing, which can offer multiple advantages,” says Prof Youn. “As GBM is a WHO grade IV brain tumour with dismal prognosis.

Receptor Occupancy Assays by Flow Cytometry: Benefits for Clinical Trials

XTalks

Both the areas of drug development and clinical trials are increasingly using in vitro assays to help determine the efficacy of an investigational therapeutic. All drug development processes evaluate a drug’s pharmacokinetics (PK) to gather data about its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion in the body.

Taking an ‘upside-down’ approach to mRNA delivery

pharmaphorum

The intracellular barriers include endosomal escape, RNA sensors, and endonucleases. There are a variety of mRNA delivery methods that have been developed in an attempt to navigate the challenges, such as direct injection of naked mRNA, lipid-based carriers, polymers, and protein derivatives.

Cell-penetrating peptides as a delivery system for oligonucleotides

Drug Discovery World

Oligonucleotides act on the RNA level through different molecular pathways, but there is a major drawback when using them as drugs: their poor bioavailability and cellular uptake. Over the years, a range of different CPPs have been developed, including natural translocating proteins through to newly-designed computer-prediction sequences 3.

What the Glycome Can Tell Us About Persistent HIV Infection

XTalks

The identification of T cells that essentially ‘hide’ the virus has significant implications for developing therapeutic strategies to improve the treatment and long-term management of HIV. Transcriptionally active’ cells in which HIV RNA is actively transcribed to make copies of the virus (despite long-term ART).
