A Blueprint for Advancing Genetics-Based Cancer Therapy

نویسنده

  • William R. Sellers
چکیده

In the era of next-generation sequencing, there are significant challenges to harnessing cancer genome information to develop novel therapies. Key research thrusts in both academia and industry will speed this transition, and lessons learned for cancer will more broadly shape the process for genetic contributions to the therapy of disease more broadly.

Advancing Chimeric Antigen Receptor-Engineered T-Cell Immunotherapy Using Genome Editing Technologies: Challenges and Future Prospects

Chimeric antigen receptor engineered-T (CAR-T) cells also named as living drugs, have been recently known as a breakthrough technology and were applied as an adoptive immunotherapy against different types of cancer. They also attracted widespread interest because of the success of B-cell malignancy therapy achieved by anti-CD19 CAR-T cells. Current genetic toolbox enabled the synthesis of CARs ...

Systemic Targeted Alpha Radiotherapy for Cancer

Background: The fundamental principles of internal targeted alpha therapy for cancer were established many decades ago.The high linear energy transfer (LET) of alpha radiation to the targeted cancer cellscauses double strand breaks in DNA. At the same time, the short range radiation spares adjacent normal tissues. This targeted approach complements conventional external beam radiotherapy and ch...

The Role of Nanomedicine in Cell Based Therapeutics in Cancer and Inflammation

Cell based therapeutics is one of the most rapidly advancing medical fields, bringing together a range of fields including transplantation, tissue engineering and regeneration, biomaterials and stem cell biology. However, traditional cell-based therapeutics have many limitations, one of which is their harmful effects exhibited on healthy body cells due to their lack of specificity. Nanomedicine...

Clinical implications of our advancing knowledge of colorectal cancer genetics: inherited syndromes, prognosis, prevention, screening and therapeutics.

Recent genetic advances in our knowledge of colorectal cancer genetics are beginning to pay translational dividends in the management of this common clinical problem. We are now able to accurately screen and counsel individuals at risk of rare inherited cancer syndromes. We have recently introduced two of what are sure to be numerous biologic-based therapies, and have shown that colorectal neop...
