This episode’s conversation focuses on the innovative work of Dr. Catriona Jamieson, Director of the Sanford Stem Cell Institute at UC San Diego, and the Axiom-4 (Ax-4) launch. This space research mission includes the Institute’s testing of the efficacy of “rebecsnib” on tumor organoids derived from cancer stem cells of consenting patients with secondary acute myeloid leukemia, ovarian cancer, metastatic breast cancer and glioblastoma multiforme. The drug holds potential to fight 23 types of cancer — any that involve ADAR1 in their development and progression.
