Post# of 231
Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX) is a clinical-stage, gene-therapy company focused on the advancement of its lead drug candidate, Oncoprex(TM) immunogene therapy. Oncoprex is an investigational therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”). An article discussing the company reads, “Oncoprex is designed to interrupt cell signaling pathways that cause replication and proliferation of cancer cells, to target and kill cancer cells via receptor pathways, and to stimulate natural immune responses against cancer. Oncoprex consists of the TUSC2 tumor suppressor gene encapsulated in a positively charged lipid nanoparticle. It is injected intravenously, specifically targeting cancer cells, which generally have a negative electrical charge. Once Oncoprex is taken up into a cancer cell, the TUSC2 gene is expressed in a protein that is capable of restoring certain defective functions arising in the cancer cell (http://nnw.fm/1w2WY).”
