Immunogenicity in biotherapeutics and biosimilars
Following on from my previous post on biosimilars and biotherapeutics (or biologics), let's now take a look at some of the specific
Proteasome inhibitor approved by FDA for Myeloma retreatment
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Velcade (Bortezomib) for the retreatment of adult patients with Multiple Myeloma who had previously responded to Velcade therapy and relapsed at
Where to buy Topo inhibitors and analogs?
DNA topoisomerase I and DNA topoisomerase II (Topo I and Topo II) are nuclear enzymes which regulate the topological state of the DNA helix by transiently breaking and rejoining DNA strands. They also
5 Cytoskeletal Modeling Molecules
Cytoskeleton modeling molecules are relevant when trying to improve one's understanding of cytoskeletal molecular modeling and associated mechanisms. Together with actin binding proteins, tubulin-based
15 Ubiquitin - Proteasome inhibitors for cancer research
With more than 100 types of cancers affecting any part of the body, cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world. It has an enormous impact on well-being, both for those with the diagnosis
The TRPV1 Pain Receptor activates T cells
The Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) ion channel family participates in numerous functions of the Nervous System. A recent publication tends to indicate that TRP might also be of interest for therapeutical
AAV - advantages for Gene delivery in vivo
Adenoassociated viruses (AAV) are small (20-30 nm), ssDNA, non-enveloped and replication-defective viruses that infect human and other primate species, but which, up to now, have not been reported as being
Next generation of lentiviral particles
Lentiviruses are robust tools for cell line engineering and development. As opposed to models that only infect dividing cells, lentiviral vectors are ideal for long term gene delivery into dividing and
Exosomes as a trigger for signaling
Extracellular vesicles in general, or exosomes in particular, are becoming a hot topic for research, especially in cancer. They seem to have different roles in tumour progression or can
Adenovirus: weapons of mass transduction for gene delivery
Adenovirus (AV) are non-enveloped and non-integrative icosaedral viruses. Recombinant AV (genetically modified with respect to the wild-type in order to lose their capacity of replication) are widely used
Antibiotics and microbial metabolites - revisited
What are metabolites?
Microorganisms live in a world of chemical signals. They use small molecular weight compounds, known as metabolites, to regulate their own growth and development,
