Innovative approaches in drug discovery against cancer – the latest scientific article review by BIOMEDICA CRO team 💊
Scientists are utilizing peptide stapling and fragment-based drug discovery in their innovative approaches to fighting cancer. These methods specifically target the cancer-causing proteins that drive the disease.
By focusing on proteins called BCL-2 that are crucial for cancer growth, these technologies show promise in developing effective treatments for human cancer.
Using peptide stapling, scientists can stabilize peptides that specifically target BCL-2. By introducing cross-links or ‘staples’ to the peptide, its structure is enhanced, making it more stable and resistant to degradation. This stapled peptide can effectively bind to BCL-2.
Fighting cancer through targeted drug treatments is a promising approach. Scientists have studied cancer biology in detail and identified specific targets for more effective and personalized treatments. Despite ongoing challenges, continuous research and collaboration provide optimism for progress in cancer therapeutics.
Banked biospecimens: Blood and FFPE Blocks for cancer & other diseases research 🎗
At BIOMEDICA CRO, we routinely collect hundreds of human biospecimens with valuable and precise clinical data for pharmaceutical companies and diagnostic centers. We manage our own network of 50+ direct contracts with hospitals in Ukraine in many disease areas and are always ready to make a new one if necessary.
Our main area is Oncology and the study of the following conditions:
- Lung cancer;
- Breast cancer;
- Colorectal cancer;
- Prostate cancer;
- Kidney cancer;
- Head & Neck cancer, etc.
We mainly focus on the prospective customized studies, but we also acknowledge that having banked biospecimens already collected, stored and available for use allows certain research studies to be performed quicker and easier.
Thus, we offer a wide range of specimens, including FFPE blocks, frozen tissues, whole blood, plasma, serum, buffy coat, rest blood, PBMC, urine, saliva, and more.
Moreover, you can find numerous matched biosample sets, containing matched tissue in FFPE blocks, fresh frozen tissue specimens and biofluids obtained from the same donor. All these biospecimens are collected from diverse patient populations and are carefully processed and stored to maintain their integrity and usability for research purposes.
