Researchers from Eilean Therapeutics LLC and collaborators presented the discovery and characterization of a new, selective CDK2 inhibitor showing potent in vitro and in vivo activity at the 2025 AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics.
At the AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics, researchers from Onco3r Therapeutics BV presented a novel series of selective SMARCA2 small-molecule inhibitors with a best-in-class potency and selectivity profile.
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a genetic condition caused by mutations in the LDLR gene and characterized by severe hypercholesterolemia and premature cardiovascular disease. Repair Biotechnologies Inc. has developed REP-0003, a therapeutic based on the Cholesterol Degrading Platform (CDP) that degrades excessive intracellular free cholesterol into a non-toxic and excretable catabolite to safely reverse cholesterol-rich vulnerable plaque.
Though immune checkpoint inhibitors have improved the outcomes of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the response rates remain limited. At the annual meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, researchers highlighted N-lysine methyltransferase SMYD2 as an oncogenic protein overexpressed in several tumor types.
Recent progress in redressing the historical underfunding and neglect of women’s health could be undermined by the backlash against diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, according to executives participating in the FT Global Pharma and Biotech Summit 2025 in London Nov. 11-12.
Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are residues from ancient viral infections that have become integrated into the human genome. One of them – HERV-K – is aberrantly reactivated in solid tumors but silent in healthy tissues.
Researchers at Tubulis GmbH reported preclinical efficacy data on TUB-030, a novel 5T4-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), in several sarcoma subtypes.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a complex disease with limited therapeutic options. Protein histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is known to be involved in several biological processes, such as autophagy or inflammation, among others, but its impact on HFpEF has not been well evaluated to date.
METTL3, the enzyme that adds the m6A RNA modification, is a key regulator of RNA processing and protein synthesis. In cancer, METTL3 is often overexpressed, driving tumor growth, invasion and therapy resistance across multiple malignancies, including lung, pancreatic, ovarian, colorectal cancers and acute myeloid leukemia.
