Developing drug-induced resistant tumor models for efficacy evaluation of next-generation anticancer therapies
The therapeutic landscape of cancer has been transformed over the last few decades. Our understanding of cancer and its therapeutic approach has improved greatly due to advanced cancer biology, functional imaging and next–generation sequencing. One of the key challenges in cancer therapy is how to effectively kill cancer cells while leaving normal cells intact. As …Read More >
Development of an integrated in vitro and in vivo OVA-specific system for cancer vaccine discovery
We have established an advanced and integrated in vitro and in vivo platform for various types of cancer vaccines, including peptide vaccines, mRNA vaccines, DC vaccines and more. Ovalbumin (OVA) is a key model antigen which has been widely used in vaccination experiments. Here we established an OVA overexpressed system based on different types of …Read More >
Mouse hind limb tumor metastatic model to evaluate prophylaxis and treatment
We have established and optimized a robust tumor bone metastasis mouse model, which recapitulates the tumor metastasis progression from circulation to bone colonization, and provides a window for evaluating prophylaxis and treatment. Specifically, we inoculated two breast cancer cell lines, JIMT-1 and MDA-MB-231, each with high metastatic potential, into the mouse intra-caudal artery. By detection …Read More >
Meeting Neurodegenerative Disease Head-On with Emerging Drug Discovery Strategies
Chronic neurodegenerative diseases encompass a variety of progressive conditions that affect neurons, including Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and other forms of dementia. They are among the most common and challenging central nervous system (CNS) diseases. “Many companies had stopped their research program into neurodegenerative diseases, but now sophisticated technology advances have became more broadly …Read More >
Evaluation of the efficacy of ADC in vitro and in vivo
Abstract Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are promising complexes with therapeutic potential that aimed to the treatment of solid tumor and hematological malignancies. Compared with the therapeutic monoclonal antibody, an ADC-derived monoclonal antibody is conjugated with cytotoxic agents (payloads) which can deliver potent cellular toxins to targeted cancer cells specifically. We have established a state-of-the-art platform …Read More >
