Fighting cancer with a tiny molecule shows big promise
Reading time: 2 minutesStefan Moisyadi (center) with his research team. A tiny molecule called a nanobody may succeed where today’s cancer drugs often fail, according to University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researcher Stefan Moisyadi, who has been refining the concept for nearly a decade.
“Antibodies won the Nobel Prize for immunotherapy,” said Moisyadi, a scientist at the Yanagimachi Institute for Biogenesis Research at the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM). “They work in some cancers, but not all. In colorectal cancer, they hardly work at all. But when we used nanobodies, bingo, it worked.”
The study, published in eGastroenterology, shows how Moisyadi and his team from JABSOM, the UH Cancer Center, and the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resilience used mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) to make the body produce nanobodies that block PD-L1—a molecule that helps tumors hide from the immune system. By stopping PD-L1, nanobodies allow immune cells to recognize and attack cancer.
Smaller, stronger and more affordable
Nanobodies are about one-tenth the size of regular antibodies, cheaper to make, and more resilient under stress, according to the research.
“They don’t trigger an immune response in the patient,” Moisyadi said. “They penetrate better because they’re small. They can even refold back to their original shape when conditions improve. Basically, they’re indestructible—they work much better and they’re cheaper.”
Basically, they’re indestructible—they work much better and they’re cheaper.
—Stefan MoisyadiWhile traditional antibody treatments can cost patients more than $200,000 a year, nanobody therapy—delivered as mRNA, similar to the COVID-19 vaccines—could cost only a fraction of that, making it far more accessible to patients.
“People can’t afford antibody treatments,” Moisyadi said. “Here we make an RNA version. The patient’s own cells turn it into a protein… It goes into the circulation, finds the tumor, and blocks PD-L1.”
In mouse studies, the treatment cut tumor growth by about 50%—a major result for a cancer that rarely responds to immunotherapy.
Now collaborating with the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Moisyadi hopes to see this breakthrough continue growing from its roots in Hawaiʻi.
“This works,” he said. “We have the chance to be on the cutting edge. We need to have leaders’ buy-in because everyone here is still focused on antibodies.”

Tata Electronics buys Chinese iPhone supplier Justech’s India unit

Tata Electronics has acquired Chinese industrial firm Justech Precision’s India unit for close to $100 million, according to two people familiar with the matter, as the Tata Group subsidiary bolsters its manufacturing capacity to benefit from Apple’s focus on iPhone manufacturing in India.
The transaction was concluded in August, with HSBC Bank and HDFC Bank advising on the deal, according to the people close to the deal.
Headquartered in the city of Kunshan in Jiangsu, China, Justech Precision has been a supplier to Apple since 2008. It provides industrial equipment, such as computer numerical control machines used for precise cutting and fabrication tasks, to Foxconn, the world’s largest assembler of Apple products.
Justech Precision Industry India, incorporated in late 2019 and based in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu did not respond to CNBC’s requests for comments, neither did Tata Group. Tata Electronics declined to comment.
In January, Tata Electronics reportedly bought a 60% stake in Taiwanese contract manufacturer Pegatron’s India operation that operates an iPhone plant, Reuters reported. The deal’s value was not disclosed.
The acquisitions come as Tata Electronics, which began assembling iPhones in India in 2023, seeks to expand its manufacturing capacity as Apple reportedly plans to source all of the iPhones for the U.S. market from India by the end of 2026.
Apple, which still manufacturers most of its smartphones in China, has been taking urgent steps to build capacity in India with contract manufacturers Tata Electronics and Foxconn, pivoting away from China amid higher tariffs and geopolitical tensions.
Foxconn still accounts for two-thirds of India’s total iPhones shipments, with Tata making the remaining one-third, according to Neil Shah, co-founder and vice president at market research firm Counterpoint Research, who expects that market share could change soon as Tata scales up its manufacturing.
Tata currently operates two plants in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu and one in neighboring Karnataka, which was formerly owned by Wistron.
Made in India by 2026
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has in recent years worked to promote India as a smartphone manufacturing hub, eager to embrace Apple and use it as a symbol to attract other high-tech firms to the country for manufacturing and development.
But Apple has also faced challenges in its early experiments manufacturing in the country, most notably at a Wistron factory in Bengaluru assembling older model iPhones, which saw a labor riot in late 2020.
Apple is looking to build "highly localized" partners to become "truly diversified," instead of bringing Chinese or Taiwanese partners in India and be dependent on them, Shah said, but finding alternatives for components sourced primarily from Chinese suppliers could take years.
"It will not be a sprint to build like-for-like supplier ecosystem as it enjoyed in China, but a marathon and a step by step process," Shah added.
India will account for around 26% of global iPhone shipments by the end of 2025, up from 20% at the start of the year, according to the latest estimate by Counterpoint.
Apple's Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams visited Justech's innovation exhibition center in Jiangsu during his trip to China in March where he pledged to continue to make large-scale investment in the country.
