ADC Development: Preclinical Pharmacology Essentials
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are increasingly demonstrating their value in cancer treatment, especially in combination therapies and for targeting resistant cancer cell populations. The ability of ADCs to deliver highly potent cytotoxic payloads directly to cancer cells that express a target antigen makes them a promising approach for targeted therapy. However, the complex structure and mechanism …Read More >

Animal Disease Models of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a prevalent, chronic, autoimmune disease. The onset and progression of RA are closely associated with an aberrant immune response, in which immune cells accumulate excessively in target joints. Most current, anti-rheumatic drugs only alleviate disease progression or ameliorate inflammation. Development of new RA therapies with increased efficacy represents an unmet medical …Read More >
Paclitaxel-Induced Resistant Tumor Models
Despite the excellent clinical response to paclitaxel therapy, drug resistance inevitably develops in subsequent treatments. The mechanisms for resistance to paclitaxel include drug efflux transporter overexpression, altered apoptotic gene expression, and changes associated with microtubules to reduce the influence of this chemotherapeutic agent. WuXi Biology has established gastric cancer and breast cancer cell lines that …Read More >
Radionuclide Drug Conjugates
Radiopharmaceuticals have proven to be effective agents since they can be successfully applied for both diagnostics and therapy. Radionuclide drug conjugates (RDCs) combine a radioactive compound, a tailored-targeting molecule for specific receptors enriched on diseased cells, and a linker for stable attachment, enabling more effective radiation delivery and significantly reducing side effects by attacking only …Read More >
Combating Drug Resistance in Cancer Therapy
An inevitable challenge emerges over time as tumors develop drug resistance, resulting in treatment failure. This resistance is inherent to the tumor cells themselves, as well as tied to factors within the tumor microenvironment (TME). To bolster the research of innovative cancer drugs and to emulate real-world clinical scenarios of tumor resistance, WuXi Biology has …Read More >
