In a nutshell: Genome-wide CRISPR screens in patient-derived gastric cancer organoids uncovered strong dependencies on fatty-acid biosynthesis (ACC/ACACA) and cholesterol biosynthesis (LSS). Co-culture with enteric neurons (ENS) rewires ...

In Part 1 of our feature, we explored Enhertu’s groundbreaking pharmacological profile and its role in launching the second ADC boom. In this concluding part, we shift focus to intellectual property strategies, patent lifespans, and the ...

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2) have gained increasing attention as a novel therapeutic approach for advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancers. Here, we summarize the phase 1 trial resu...

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as one of the most exciting modalities in oncology. Among them, HER2-targeted ADCs have undergone a dramatic transformation with the arrival of Daiichi Sankyo and AstraZeneca’s Enhertu, sparki...

This series provides an in-depth review of the current landscape of Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2)-targeted antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) in gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancers. Structured into five parts, it covers pivotal cli...

Across pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) models, tumor cells show marked intercellular heterogeneity in stress granules (SGs). A single-cell, cell-cycle–aware view reveals that SGs are maximally enriched in G2, powered by a lipid m...

Last updated: 2025-09-01 JST Lead: The shift from ex vivo to in vivo CAR-T is turning into a full-blown race. Big-ticket M&A, first-patient-dosed milestones, and multiple Phase-1 entries are consolidating the field into two lanes: le...

Appendix: IL-6R Inhibitors & Company Landscape (as of Aug 2025) A quick map of who owns which IL-6R blockers and current approved uses, to inform combo trials and partnering around the neuro-immune loop discussed above. Approved agen...

Introduction: A New Relationship Between Transcription Factors and DNA Repair Recent cancer research has highlighted DNA replication errors and defects in repair mechanisms as central drivers of tumorigenesis. The mismatch repair (MMR) s...

Fresh data in Science Signaling (2025) show that tumor-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) reprogram TRPV1+ nociceptors, boosting IL-6 and Substance P, thereby increasing MDSC infiltration and CD8 T-cell exhaustion—a neuro-immune...

This article is the second half of the Morningglorysciences Summer Beginner Series Grand Summary. In Part 1, we reviewed anti-obesity drugs, ADCs, and In vivo CAR-T cell therapy, comparing their strengths and shared challenges. Here in P...

This article is the comprehensive summary of our Morningglorysciences Summer Beginner Series on Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs). Throughout the series, we introduced the basics, design principles, historical improvements, and clinical ap...

In this final deep-dive of our beginner-friendly bispecific antibody series, we explore the historical trajectory of bispecific antibody (BsAb) technology. From early-stage instability to today’s modular, multifunctional platforms, the e...

Even among bispecific antibody drugs, the pharmacological behavior in the body can vary significantly depending on the structural modality. This article explains in simple terms how differences in modalities—such as IgG-based, non-IgG, a...

In this third installment of our Beginner-Friendly Bispecific Antibody Drug series, we delve into the crucial question: “Which targets should be selected?” Target selection is a core strategic decision in bispecific antibody development,...

In this second installment of our series on bispecific antibody drugs, we delve into the diverse structural formats that define the field. From tandem scFvs to full-length IgG-like structures, we examine how these formats affect function...
