Engineered Oncolytic Viruses Expressing Immunomodulatory Genes Enhances In Vitro Anti-Tumor Cellular Immune Responses
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 >

Bone metastasis platform to evaluate prophylaxis and treatment
Structure-based optimization of hydroxylactam as potent, cell-active inhibitors of lactate dehydrogenase
Structure-based design was utilized to optimize 6,6-diaryl substituted dihydropyrone and hydroxylactam to obtain inhibitors of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) with low nanomolar biochemical and single-digit micromolar cellular potencies. Surprisingly the replacement of a phenyl with a pyridyl moiety in the chemical structure revealed a new binding mode for the inhibitors with subtle conformational change of the …Read More >

Brain metastasis mouse models for the evaluation of multikinase inhibitors on ROS1-fusion-positive lung cancer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Nearly 80% of lung cancers are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and 60% of them are diagnosed at the metastatic stage. Brain metastases affect more than 20% of NSCLC patients with poor prognosis and disabling symptoms. However, few therapies have been approved for the treatment …Read More >
