Converting Autoimmunity Drugs Into Powerful Anticancer Treatments
Scientists from the Antibody and Vaccine group at the University of Southampton have discovered a way to transform antibody drugs previously developed to treat autoimmunity into antibodies with powerful anti-cancer activity through a simple molecular “switch”.This work, published in the journal Cancer Cell, focuses on a molecule called CD40 which is present on the …
New Anti-Cancer Therapies Could Result from MicroRNA Technology |
New anti-cancer therapies could result from a technology that manipulates microRNAs (miRNAs) developed by Jingfang Ju, a biochemist and Professor in the Department of Pathology at the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University. The method may prove to be particularly effective against chemotherapy resistant cancers such as colorectal cancer. To advance the science of …
