Researchers from Aligos Therapeutics Inc. and the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven reported on the preclinical activity of ALG-097558, a novel oral available 3CL protease inhibitor with pan-coronavirus antiviral activity.
PARP14 is an ADP-ribosyltransferase that transfers ADP-ribose from NAD+ onto the appropriate protein target. PARP14 selectively binds to STAT6 and promotes expression of IL-4-regulated genes, thus modulating inflammatory signaling pathways. PARP14 is overexpressed in tissues from patients with dermatomyositis, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and other inflammatory disorder cells compared to normal tissues.

Bayer AG’s diacylglycerol kinase ζ (DGK-ζ) inhibitor BAY-2965501 is being developed as a first-in-class cancer immunotherapy candidate. The company recently presented preclinical data on the compound, which supported advancement of the candidate into clinical testing, with a first-in-human phase I study in solid tumors underway (NCT05614102).
Osteosarcoma (OS) is an aggressive cancer type, with frequent metastasis seen in the lungs, and for which two-thirds of metastatic patients fail to achieve durable responses and die due to the disease.
TRPV3 is a temperature-sensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel that functions as a regulator of skin homeostasis. The epidermal overexpression of TRPV3 is linked to dermatological conditions with increased inflammation signals such as dermatitis, hyperkeratosis, keratoderma or pruritus.
