肿瘤免疫学与免疫治疗的进展

This animation created by Nature Reviews Cancer and Nature Reviews Immunology illustrates how tumour cells are sensed and destroyed by cells of the immune system and how tumours can evolve to evade immune-mediated elimination. Scientists are developing new immunotherapies that help the immune system to ‘fight back’ — the animation explains how these exciting new drugs work.

Bonnie Bassler (Princeton) Part 2: Vibrio Cholerae Quorum Sensing and Novel Antibiotics

Bacteria, primitive single-celled organisms, communicate with chemical languages that allow them to synchronize their behavior and thereby act as enormous multi-cellular organisms. This process is called quorum sensing and it enables bacteria to successfully infect and cause disease in plants, animals, and humans. Investigations of the molecular mechanisms underlying quorum sensing are leading to the development of novel strategies to interfere with quorum sensing. These strategies form the basis of new therapies to be used as antibiotics. See more at http://www.ibioseminars.org

用CRISPR寻找肿瘤药 - 陈巍学基因(32)

欢迎来到【陈巍学基因】,我们这个节目,主要是给大家介绍基因组学,和临床分子诊断的最技术进展。

今天要和大家谈的,是用CRISPR方法,来寻找的、可能的肿瘤药物。

提出这个方法的,是加拿大Donnelly Centre的Traver Hart。Traver Hart把他的这项研究成果,发表在《Cell》杂志2015年12月3日这一期上。论文的题目是《High-Resolution CRISPR Screens Reveal Fitness Genes and Genotype-Specific Cancer Liabilities》。我们这期节目,就主要围绕这篇文章来进行讲解。

文章的核心内容,就是: 1.用CRISPR方法,把几种肿瘤细胞系的几乎所有的基因都做一遍敲除,也就是“Knock out”。 2.然后用高通量测序,来看哪些基因被敲除之后,细胞的生长会受到抑制。 3.接下来,在几种肿瘤细胞系之间进行比较,看哪个基因,是对一个特定细胞系的生长,是必需的,而在别的细胞系当中,这个基因是非必需的。那么,这个基因就可能是治疗这种肿瘤的,潜在的、的治疗靶点

本视频详细介绍了这种全的方法,和用这个方法找到的一系列潜在的药化合物的实例。

被移植的心脏如何重跳动的?

TransMedics’ proprietary Organ Care System (OCS) is the first commercial and portable warm blood perfusion organ transport system. With the OCS, doctors are able to perform “living organ transplants,” where organs are kept warm and functioning in a controlled environment from the time they are recovered to the moment they are placed in the recipient’s body.

研究寄生虫的质体,提供药物开发的靶点

David Roos (U Penn) Part 2: The apicomplexan plastid

Antibiotics are effective because they kill bacteria without harming humans and other eukaryotes (organisms with cells that contain nuclei). So why are the eukaryotic parasites responsible for malaria and toxoplasmosis killed by drugs like clindamycin? Multidisciplinary studies integrating molecular genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, pharmacology and computational genomics reveal that such drugs target an unusual organelle. The "apicoplast" was acquired when an ancestral organism 'ate' a eukaryotic alga, and retained the algal plastid -- a relative of plant chloroplasts derived from a bacterial ancestor. Although no longer photosynthetic, the apicoplast is essential for parasite survival, providing new targets for drug development. See more at http://www.ibioseminars.org
