Nucleic acids have long been regarded as biological compounds for storing and transferring information. However, their functionalities are far more diverse than this – ranging from gene regulation to enzymatic catalysis. One type of unconventional nucleic acid is the aptamer. Aptamers are short, single stranded nucleic acids that fold into highly specific structures. They bind …Read More >

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells are genetically engineered T cells that express a surface receptor to recognize tumor-associated antigens (TAA). CAR-T cell therapy have demonstrated remarkable success with hematological malignancies. However, limited headway has been made towards solid tumor, due to various challenges, including recognition of tumor-specific antigen trafficking and penetration, localization and survival within …Read More >

While chemo- and radio-therapy are considered the first-line of treatment for most cancers, its serious side effects have led to continuous innovation and discovery of new anti-tumor treatments. Oncolytic viruses (OVs) possess a magnitude of mechanism of action to elicit anti-tumor immune response, including OVs innate cytotoxicity and enhanced anti-tumor immunity by inserting immunomodulatory genes. …Read More >
