Researchers evaluate lung cancer treatment that can be inhaled
Ke Cheng | Via Healio | April 24, 2024Researchers at Columbia University’s Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center are investigating a lung cancer treatment that can be delivered directly to the lungs. The treatment, which involves the inhalation of interleukin-12 (IL-12) messenger RNA, uses nanobubbles to facilitate local delivery to the lungs with fewer off-target side effects. Results of a preclinical study, published in […]

Engineered Peptides Stimulate Antitumor Immune Responses in Mice
Betty Kim | Via Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News | April 22, 2024Researchers have designed a new method for developing immunotherapy drugs using engineered peptides to elicit a natural immune response inside the body. More specifically, they showed, in antigen presenting cells, that “the hydrophobicity, electrostatic charge, and secondary conformation of helical polypeptides can be optimized to stimulate innate immune pathways via endoplasmic reticulum stress.” In preclinical […]
Novel theranostic tool allows for noninvasive identification and treatment of ovarian cancer
Jason Lewis | Via EurekAlert | April 4, 2024A new radiotheranostic system has the ability to detect and treat ovarian cancer noninvasively, according to new research published in the April issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Combining the highly specific huAR9.6 antibody with PET and therapeutic radionuclides, this theranostic platform may provide more personalized treatment to improve health outcomes for ovarian cancer […]
