Highlights Melbourne-based contract development and manufacturing organisation Cell Therapies will manufacture Carina Biotech’s LGR5 CAR-T cells for a first-in-human clinical trial for patients with advanced colorectal (bowel) cancer. Carina’s CAR-T cells are targeted at LGR5, a cancer stem cell marker that is highly expressed ...
Crown Bioscience, a JSR Life Sciences company, and HUB Organoids (HUB) announced today the publication of preclinical data in the journal, Nature Cancer, on a bispecific antibody which prevents the onset of metastasis and slows the growth of primary tumors in experimental models of cancer. ...
In colorectal cancer patients, LGR5+ expression has been correlated with a particularly poor prognosis. Cancer stem cells are a small sub-population of cells within a tumour with the ability to self-renew, differentiate into the many cell types of a tumour, initiate new tumours, and resist chemotherapy and radiotherapy (leading to relapses). By ...
Carina Biotech is very pleased to announce that we have submitted a pre-IND (Investigational New Drug) application to the US FDA (Food & Drug Administration) for our CAR-T therapy that targets a cancer stem cell antigen known as LGR5. This represents a major step towards taking our CAR-T cell (CNA3103) into a Phase I/IIa clinical trial in patients with ...
In this case, the lentivirus transduces (or inserts) a group of genes to a patient’s T cells (immune cells), which turn the T cells into cancer-killing CAR-T cells targeting LGR5, a cancer stem cell marker found on colorectal cancer and other cancers. ...
“We know that colorectal cancer is the deadliest cancer for young Australians. We also know that there has been a nearly 190% increase in colorectal cancer cases in adolescents and young people in Australia over the last 30 years. ...

The Agilent award will support ongoing cancer research conducted by Dr. Cordon-Cardo and his team. They are using a combination of genomic and proteomic technologies from Agilent to characterize tumor-initiating cells with stem-cell-like properties derived from solid tumors taken from subjects with various types of cancer. The goal of studying ...
A growing body of evidence suggests that cancer is a stem-cell based disease. Normal stem cells are essential to normal tissue regeneration, and to the stability of organisms and processes. But cancer stem cells are thought to be the driving force for the formation, growth, and spread of tumors. ...
Consequently, some inherited risk of breast and ovarian cancer may stem from mutations in BAP1 genes. "Also, it appears likely that other genes, in addition to BAP1, will be found to be associated with elevated risk of mesothelioma," said Testa. ...
Agilent Technologies, Inc., (NYSE: A) today introduced SureSelect RNA Capture Kits, the first commercial RNA target enrichment system enabling geneticists to focus on specific genomic loci or transcripts of research interest. The RNA capture kits make it possible to precisely measure expression levels of genes of interest and detect allelic-specific expression, splicing events and gene fusions. ...
