Antibody-based pharmaceuticals are the leading biologic drug platform (> $75B/year). Despite a wealth of information collected on them, there is still a lack of knowledge on their inter-domain structural distributions, which impedes innovation and development. To address this measurement gap, we have developed a new methodology to derive biomolecular structure ensembles from distance distribution measurements via a library of tagged proteins bound to an unlabeled and otherwise unmodified target biologic.

Background: Fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-targeted radioligand therapy, with immunomodulatory effects, has shown efficacy in both preclinical and clinical studies. We recently reported on a novel dimeric FAP-targeting radiopharmaceutical, Ga/Lu-DOTA-2P(FAPI), which demonstrated increased tumor uptake and prolonged retention in various cancers. However, further exploration is required to understand the therapeutic efficacy and underlying mechanisms of combining Ga/Lu-DOTA-2P(FAPI) radioligand therapy with PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy.

To elucidate the potential roles of presynaptic and postsynaptic serotonergic activity in impulsivity traits, we investigated the relationship between self-reported impulsiveness and serotonin transporter (5-HTT) and 5-HT2A receptors in healthy individuals. In this study, 26 participants completed 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography with [C]DASB and [C]MDL100907. To quantify 5-HTT and 5-HT2A receptor availability, the binding potential (BP) of [C]DASB and [C]MDL100907 was derived using the simplified reference tissue model with cerebellar gray matter as the reference region.

Despite treatment, prostate cancer commonly progresses into castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), which remains largely incurable, requiring the development of new interventions. Darolutamide is an orally administered second-generation androgen receptor inhibitor indicated for patients with non-metastatic CRPC or metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Here, we evaluated the effect of androgen receptor (AR) inhibition by darolutamide in combination with DNA double-strand-break-inducing targeted radium-223 alpha therapy in vitro and in an intratibial LNCaP xenograft model mimicking prostate cancer metastasized to bone.

About 50% of all cancers carry a mutation in p53 that impairs its tumor suppressor function. The p53 missense mutation p53 (p53 in mice) is a hotspot mutation in various cancer types. Therefore, monoclonal antibodies selectively targeting clinically relevant mutations like p53 could prove immensely value.
