Chemokines and their receptors form one of the most intricate signaling networks in immunology. Among them, CCR1 (C-C chemokine receptor type 1) has attracted attention for its dual role as both a guardian of host defense and a potential driver of chronic inflammation and cancer progression. For researchers, CCR1 is more than a seven-transmembrane G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR)—it ...
Many oncology drugs have been abandoned by pharmaceutical companies due to poor performance in phase I, II, or III clinical trials. These drugs represent untapped potential treatments for indications outside of those initially investigated. With research and development costs for a single new drug estimated between $2–3 billion, abandoned drugs represent an opportunity to bring drugs to ...
Population growth, aging populations and increases in cancer incidence have necessitated new approaches to identifying effective treatments. One such approach involves the repositioning, or repurposing, of drugs already FDA approved in either non-oncology disease states and/or approved in a limited number of tumor types. The repurposing of these drugs for new indications represents an ...
Human ovarian epithelial cells play a crucial role in ovarian function and have become a significant focus in cancer research, specifically ovarian cancer. The ability to study these cells in a laboratory setting has been greatly enhanced through the development of immortalized human ovarian epithelial cell lines, particularly those that utilize the SV40 (Simian Virus 40) large T antigen. ...
Adenoviruses are a group of viruses that have gained significant attention in recent years, particularly in the fields of gene therapy, vaccine development, and cancer treatment. With their ability to deliver genetic material into cells effectively, adenoviruses serve as valuable vectors in various biomedical applications. To harness their potential, specialized adenovirus production services ...
Introduction PEGylation, the process of attaching polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains to therapeutic molecules, has become a cornerstone in pharmaceutical development. This technique improves the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of drugs, enhancing their stability, solubility, and circulation time while reducing immunogenicity. Since its first FDA-approved application in 1990 with ...
The BCL2 gene, short for B-cell lymphoma 2, is a critical regulator of apoptosis, or programmed cell death. It belongs to a larger BCL2 gene family, which includes both pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins that maintain a delicate balance between cell survival and cell death. Dysregulation of this gene family is implicated in a variety of diseases, most notably cancer. What is BCL2? The ...
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) form the foundation of modern pharmaceuticals, serving as the biologically active components responsible for the therapeutic effects of medications. These crucial compounds undergo rigorous research, development, and manufacturing processes before being integrated into final pharmaceutical formulations. The pharmaceutical landscape encompasses a diverse ...

Circulating Tumor Cells, or CTCs, are cancer cells that have shed from the primary tumor and enter the bloodstream, where they can travel and potentially lead to metastasis. These cells are of significant interest in oncology due to their potential to provide vital information about the tumor’s characteristics and behavior. One of the advanced techniques used to analyze CTCs is Fluorescence ...
In recent years, the field of antibody drug design has become increasingly significant in the realm of therapeutic development, driven by the need for more effective and targeted treatments for various diseases, including cancer, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. Antibodies, which are proteins produced by the immune system, have the ability to specifically recognize and bind to ...
