🔬 Exciting News in Cancer Research! 🔬 🌟 Firefly Bio: Revolutionizing Cancer Treatment 🌟 Firefly Bio, a cutting-edge biotech company, is making waves in the fight against cancer. They’ve developed a groundbreaking therapy called degrader-antibody conjugates (DACs), combining the best of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) with the power of protein degraders. Why DACs Matter? DACs promise to be more selective and potent in delivering their payload to cancer cells, while sparing healthy tissue. Plus, they can target new biology beyond the three mechanisms of action approved in ADCs. Funding and Dream Team Firefly Bio has secured a whopping $94 million in funding, with support from Eli Lilly and other investors. Their dream team includes experts from Versant Ventures, Genentech, Merck, Novartis, and even Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi! Mission: Solid Tumors Firefly Bio’s mission? Tackling solid tumor targets that have faced dose-limiting toxicities. They’ve already selected a lead asset and proven their concept. #CancerResearch #FireflyBio #DACs #Innovation

🚀 Years Of Research At Navaux Begins To Redefine Hepsin's Role In Cancer Genesis 🚀 At Navaux, we’re on a mission to revolutionize cancer detection with our cutting-edge research in non-invasive early detection. We’re thrilled to share a major breakthrough in our work with serine proteases, particularly hepsin. While many have explored hepsin before, our team has uncovered critical differences between full-length hepsin and circulating, activated hepsin—insights that had eluded others. This discovery is a significant step forward in understanding cancer biomarkers and improving early detection methods. We’re proud to announce that we’ve completed epitope mapping and filed patents for our innovative findings related to hepsin. This advancement brings us closer to transforming how cancer is detected and treated, ultimately paving the way for better patient outcomes. A huge thank you to our dedicated team for their hard work and perseverance. We’re excited about the future and the potential impact of our discoveries! 🔬💡 Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to advance the field of cancer research. #CancerResearch #Innovation #EarlyDetection #Hepsin #Navaux #MedicalBreakthrough #Biotech

🤔 Still hungry for some biotech news before the end of the week? 💡Researchers at the UZ Leuven and KU Leuven led by Prof. Jeroen Dekervel worked together with the lab of Diether Lambrechts (VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology) to find a new biomarker that can help predict immunotherapy response in liver cancer patients. 🔬Immunotherapy shows great promise in cancer treatment, but unfortunately, patients don’t always respond to it. While deemed impossible up to now, a new study published in Nature Portfolio Communications details how the research team used single-cell technologies to discover a biomarker that can predict if a patient will respond to immunotherapy.
