New ‘plug and play’ system to offer novel way of delivering vaccines and treatments

The nanocage technology combines both mRNA and traditional virus-based vaccines to create virus-like efficacious vaccines A new technology developed by researchers from King’s College London (KCL) could provide a new way of delivering drugs to advance next-generation treatments to prevent and treat a variety of diseases. Published in the nanotechnology journal Small, the ‘plug and play’ technology could also lead to new therapeutics that act as both a vaccine and a drug, preventing disease and symptoms. For over two decades, a common protein called ferritin, which manages iron in all organisms, has been used to create vaccines and deliver anticancer drugs, as well as other medicines, to the body. Until now, scientists have been unable to develop a universal approach to delivering a wide range of medicines due to the protein’s unique method of self-assembly. “The inability to easily control the assembly of natural protein nanocages like ferritin has been ...

UK lung cancer study demonstrates further evidence on importance of CT screening

Currently the third most common cancer in the UK, lung cancer affects 40,000 people annually Researchers from the University of Liverpool and Queen Mary University of London have demonstrated further evidence of the benefits of lung cancer screening across socioeconomic groups in a new study published in Lancet Regional Health Europe. Funded by the National Institute for Health Research’s Health Technology Assessment programme, the new evidence published also illustrates the importance of screening for individuals who live in areas of economic deprivation. Affecting around 40,000 people every year in the UK, lung cancer is currently the third most common cancer in the country and the leading cause of cancer worldwide, accounting for an estimated 1.8 million deaths globally. In the study, researchers examined the long-term outcomes of recruited participants from across the socioeconomic spectrum to assess the impact of socioeconomic status on a variety of factors, including initial recruitment, selection ...

World’s First One-Minute Hepatitis C Antibody Test Facilitates Quick Triage

Rapid and accurate testing is crucial in the fight against Hepatitis C. Hepatitis C blood testing determines whether someone has been infected with the Hepatitis C virus. Having regular access to testing helps ensure the prompt identification of potential Hepatitis C infections and facilitates immediate linkage to care, thus helping to reduce further transmission. Now, the first one-minute Hepatitis C antibody test can prove to be an excellent tool in managing this disease. The INSTI HCV Antibody Test from bioLytical Laboratories (Richmond, BC, Canada) is the world’s first one-minute test that detects antibodies to the Hepatitis C virus, which are substances released into the bloodstream upon infection. The test includes procedural control for IgG and IgM and can identify HCV genotypes 1 through 6, delivering results in as little as 60 seconds. It is both highly accurate and affordable, designed for ease of use. This fully portable system does not ...

Groundbreaking CRISPR Screen Technology Rapidly Determines Disease Mechanism from Tissues

Thanks to over a decade of advancements in human genetics, scientists have compiled extensive lists of genetic variations linked to a wide array of human diseases. However, understanding how a gene contributes to disease is quite different from knowing how to treat the disease. Each risk gene can affect multiple cell types, and pinpointing how these cell types—and even individual cells—influence a gene and its role in disease progression is crucial for developing effective treatments. Now, a new CRISPR screen method allows for the rapid analysis of brain cell types associated with key developmental genes, providing insights into the genetic and cellular mechanisms underlying various neurological disorders at an unprecedented level. Developed at Scripps Research (La Jolla, CA, USA), the new technique, called in vivo Perturb-seq, utilizes CRISPR-Cas9 technology combined with single-cell transcriptomic analysis as a readout to measure the effects of genomic alterations on individual cells. By employing CRISPR-Cas9, ...

FDA Approves Biocon Biologics’ Yesafili, an Eylea Biosimilar, for the Treatment of Multiple Ophthalmic Conditions

Don Tracy, Associate Editor Approval of Yesafili represents Biocon’s entrance into the US ophthalmology market, following previous approvals in Europe and the UK. Biocon Biologics announced that it has received FDA approval for Yesafili (aflibercept-jbvf), a biosimilar to Eylea (aflibercept). According to the company, Yesafili is a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor, indicated for the treatment of several ophthalmic conditions such as neovascular age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD), macular edema following retinal vein occlusion (RVO), diabetic macular edema (DME), and myopic choroidal neovascularization (myopic CNV). Prior to being approved by the FDA, Yesafili was cleared in the United Kingdom back in November, while European approval came in September. Additionally, it is expected to launch in Canada by July 1, 2025.1 “The FDA approval of Yesafili (aflibercept) as the first interchangeable biological product to Eylea is a significant milestone for Biocon Biologics marking our entry into ophthalmology, a new therapeutic ...

AstraZeneca Plans $1.5B Manufacturing Site for Global Production of ADC Cancer Drugs

The Singapore manufacturing site will be AstraZeneca’s first facility capable of handling all steps of antibody drug conjugate production. AstraZeneca aims to open the facility in 2029.Antibody drug conjugates have fast become a big piece of AstraZeneca’s revenue growth. The drugmaker is taking steps to ensure it has the production capacity to meet market demand for these cancer drugs, revealing plans for a $1.5 billion manufacturing site in Singapore to support its global supply of ADC medicines. Construction of the ADC manufacturing facility will receive support from the Singapore Economic Development Board, AstraZeneca said Monday. The company expects to begin design and construction of the facility by the end of this year. Construction of a new drug manufacturing site and receiving the regulatory approvals for commercial production can take several years. AstraZeneca aims to open its new site for ADC production in 2029. An ADC is a cancer therapy made ...

First Publication of Chiatai Tianqing’s Novel CDK2/4/6 Inhibitor TQB3616 (Cumoxil) Development and Design Strategy

Recently, the team of Chiatai Tianqing and WuXi AppTec disclosed for the first time in Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters the molecular design thinking of the novel CDK2/4/6 inhibitor – TQB3616 (Culmerciclib) and R&D history. Small molecule CDK4/6 inhibitors (Palbociclib, Ribociclib, and Abemaciclib) have been successively approved for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer, of which Abemaciclib has shown fewer adverse effects in the clinic attributed to its superior inhibitory activity on CDK4 kinase than on CDK6. Therefore, the research team worked to discover pyrimidine-indazole molecules that are biased to inhibit CDK4 kinase and have some inhibitory activity against CDK2 and CDK6, and TQB3616 was the preferred molecule among such small molecules obtained by SAR screening. It was found that comparing Palbociclib and Abemaciclib, TQB3616 demonstrated different degrees of inhibitory effects on CDK2, CDK4, and CDK6 kinases, and a higher inhibitory capacity for CDK4 kinase [1]. The inhibition of tumor ...
