Fluoroalkane modified cationic polymers for personalized mRNA cancer vaccines
Delivery carriers are a critical component in the development of mRNA vaccines. Here, we describe the synthesis of a cationic polymer as a carrier for mRNA cancer vaccine delivery. In vivo results show that this polymer-based mRNA vaccine significantly delays tumor growth after vaccination of mice. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9743697/
KRAS-related Genetically Engineered Cell Lines and In Vivo Models
KRAS mutant proteins that drive cancer development are highly similar in sequence and structure. Direct inhibitors are most likely to bind to the catalytic domain of KRAS. However, recent studies have found that KRAS mutants can also be targeted by heterogeneous sites, to develop covalent inhibitors of KRAS mutants. The discovery of inhibitors that selectively …Read More >

How Does It Work? | Antibody Drug Conjugates
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 >

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 >
Intra-carotid artery brain metastasis models for the evaluation of lung and breast cancer drugs
Non-CNS metastatic brain cancer is approximately 10 times more common than CNS cancer. Lung cancer and breast cancer account for most brain metastasis. KRAS-mutant NSCLC composes a third lung adenocarcinoma, among which 17% to 55% will develop brain metastases. Likewise, more than a third HER2-positive breast cancer will develop brain metastasis. Among existing animal models, …Read More >
