In this week’s installment of our “How Does It Work?” video series, we explore Antibody Drug Conjugates. Monoclonal antibodies are highly versatile molecules that we can modify to generate new and improved cancer therapies. Here we have a type of modified antibody, known as an antibody drug conjugate, or ADC. The ADC contains two antigen …Read More >

#Research has explored the ways to extend the half-life of peptide drugs. One innovative way to achieve this is by fusing #therapeutic peptides to the Fc region of an antibody to create what is known as a peptibody. When the peptibody is naturally taken up by cells it binds to an Fc (antibody) receptor within …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 >
