H. Lundbeck A/S and Iambic Therapeutics Inc. have entered into a strategic research collaboration focused on the discovery of a small-molecule therapeutic for the treatment of migraine. The collaboration will leverage Iambic’s artificial intelligence (AI)-powered drug discovery platform.
Beyond its success in migraine and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Nu Eyne Co. Ltd. is advancing a portfolio of noninvasive, wearable trigeminal nerve stimulation devices across key three areas of neuromodulation, tissue regeneration and proliferation inhibition.
Scientists at the University of Copenhagen have demonstrated that the trigeminal nerve, a cranial nerve whose activation underlies migraine pain, has direct access to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) transported by the glymph system. Furthermore, in the run-up to a migraine, levels of multiple proteins in the CSF changed. One of them was calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a driver of migraine pain and target of several approved drugs for both treatment and prevention of migraine.
Oblique Therapeutics AB has entered into an agreement with the KTH Royal Institute of Technology to utilize KTH’s supercomputer resources for analyzing protein structures.
