📣Thrilled to share that our paper describing a smart virus capable of delivering "in tumour chemotherapy" for pancreatic cancer is now published online 🎉 Read all about it here:

Calling all UK-based #PancreaticCancer researchers! 🔬
We’re conducting a census to find out what resources & expertise exist within the pancreatic cancer research community. Take part to help us direct investments in community infrastructure & support: bit.ly/3VHyDxx

Some fascinating insight into using #viruses to deliver “in-tumor” chemotherapy in #PDAC, led by Drs. @LunedBadder, @alanlparker, and their @cardiffuni team!

📣Hynod falch i weld fod ein gwaith wedi ei gyhoeddi ac ar gael ar-lein rwan🎉tinyurl.com/43ur8zdh
Er bod ein gwaith wedi canolbwyntio ar brofi ein feirws clyfar ar gelloedd ac organoidau wedi eu tyfu o fiopsïau cleifion canser y pancreas, rydym yn obeithiol y bydd y dechnoleg yma yn berthnasol i nifer o fathau eraill o ganser
This approach shows promise to achieve chemotherapeutic delivery locally within tumour cells, and has the potential to limit the systemic toxic side effects we normally associate with current chemotherapy regimens, ultimately leading to smarter and kinder treatments for #pdac
Whilst our work has focused on the application of our precision virotherapy in #pdac, we believe this could be applicable to numerous other αvβ6 integrin+ cancer types too, and provide a promising candidate for clinical applications, offering hope for improved patient outcomes.
Beyond grateful to be a member of such a wonderful team of scientists @virustinkerer and a special thanks to all those that contributed. Not forgetting our funders for supporting this work
Using in vitro cell lines and clinically-relevant 3D organoid models, we show selective transduction of our precision virotherapy, as well as a potent therapeutic effect when given in combination with 5-FC.
We describe the generation of a precision virotherapy that can selectively infect and deliver "suicide genes" to Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma via αvβ6 integrin, a tumour-selective marker.

Viruses can be smart things, and here we show you can use #viruses to force #tumour cells to make their own #chemotherapy…just out in @BrJCancer
