Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue entitled “Next-Generation Antibody–Drug Conjugates”.
ADCs are an emerging drug class for cancer treatment, with 11 successful FDA-approved ADCs for many indications, including both hematological malignancies and solid tumors. Recent advances, including antibody formats (such as a bispecific antibody), conjugation chemistry, linker technology and novel payloads beyond cytotoxic molecules (such as an immunomodulator), can move ADCs to the next generation.
This Special Issue aims to provide cutting-edge knowledge in the field of ADCs. Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research topics may include the following (but are not limited to): novel antigens, antibodies including fragments and other formats (e.g., bispecific), conjugation methods, linkers and payloads for ADCs. Papers reporting on basic to translational/(pre)clinical research are welcome. Other submissions that facilitate the development of ADCs are also welcome.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Yasuaki Anami
Guest Editor
