Baobab Aibio Co. Ltd. has disclosed transcriptional coactivator YAP1/transcriptional enhancer factor (TEAD) interaction inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
A recent retrospective cohort study of Insight MMG highlighted potential of Lunit Inc.’s artificial intelligence-powered breast cancer screening tool in detecting “subtle signs of cancer” earlier for women.
Genescience Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. has identified phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase α (PI3Kα) inhibitors, particularly PI3Kα (H1047R mutant), reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer and PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum.
Scientists at Atmosr SAS and Medetia SAS have synthesized adenine derivatives acting as heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, infections, myelofibrosis, acute pancreatitis, psoriasis and ROHHAD (rapid-onset obesity, hypothalamic dysfunction, hypoventilation, autonomic dysregulation).
Breast cancer cells, when disseminated to other secondary organs such as the lungs, may stay in a dormant state for years, even decades. But the mechanisms that limit their expansion are not well understood. This is what researchers call a dormant mesenchymal-like phenotype before metastasis to the lungs. Now, scientists have shown in a study published Oct. 7, 2024, in Cell, that the limiting of disseminated breast cancer cells (DCCs) to metastasize in the lungs is due to alveolar macrophages, which activate signals that make DCCs stay dormant.
Breast cancer cells, when disseminated to other secondary organs such as the lungs, may stay in a dormant state for years, even decades. But the mechanisms that limit their expansion are not well understood. This is what researchers call a dormant mesenchymal-like phenotype (M-like) before metastasis to the lungs. Now, scientists have shown in a study published Oct. 7, 2024, in Cell, that the limiting of disseminated breast cancer cells (DCCs) to metastasize in the lungs is due to alveolar macrophages (AMs), which activate signals that make DCCs stay dormant.
Genentech Inc. didn’t need to wait until Thanksgiving for the U.S. FDA to make up its mind. More than a month ahead of its PDUFA date, the agency approved the firm’s first-line breast cancer treatment, Itovebi (inavolisib), providing the oral therapy a place with other niched therapies from Astrazeneca plc and Novartis AG. Itovebi is to be combined with Pfizer Inc.’s palbociclib (Ibrance) and Faslodex (fulvestrant, Astrazeneca) for adults with endocrine-resistant, PIK3CA-mutated, hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
Investigators at Nanjing Medical University and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center recently published data from their research that aimed to identify novel immunotherapy targets in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
At this week’s American Society for Radiation Oncology meeting, scientists from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center reported the discovery and preclinical evaluation of CD47-LLO, a novel microbial-inspired antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) for the treatment of cancer.
