Novo Nordisk A/S recently presented data regarding their antibody fragment Inno-8 for the potential treatment of hemophilia A. Inno-8 was characterized in vitro alone or in combination with hemostatic agents used for treating hemophilia A.
MYC is a key regulator of RNA Polymerase I (Pol I) transcription, promoting rRNA synthesis both directly and indirectly. MYC overexpression is common in many cancer types, where it drives increased ribosome biogenesis to support uncontrolled cell growth and proliferation.
Amylin is an attractive target in the management of obesity, since it is a peptide hormone co-secreted with insulin in response to food intake, and suppresses appetite and delays gastric emptying. At the American Diabetes Association's Scientific Sessions in Chicago, Structure Therapeutics Inc. presented data regarding the dual amylin receptor and calcitonin receptor agonist ACCG-2671 for obesity treatment.
MYB is an oncogenic transcription factor that is often aberrantly expressed in hematologic malignancies, mostly in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Rgenta Therapeutics Inc. recently presented data for RGT-61159, a potent and selective MYB inhibitor compound that demonstrated cell killing across a panel of MYB-overexpressing leukemic cell lines.
Bispecific antibodies mimicking coagulation factor VIIIa (FVIIIa) have yielded successful results in the treatment of hemophilia A, but there remain some issues in regard to their production.
At the recent meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College scientists co-presented a carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX)-targeting 68Ga/177Lu theranostic pair for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and its preclinical evaluation.
Therapies against aggressive T-cell lymphomas (TCLs) are limited and treatment resistance to histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors often occurs. Polycomb protein EED is a key member of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) complex and is an attractive therapeutic target for TCLs. APG-5918 is an EED inhibitor from Ascentage Pharma Group International Co. Ltd. that has been proven to disrupt the PRC2 functioning and has been tested in preclinical TCL models as a promising approach.
At the 2025 Annual Congress of the European Association for Cancer Research (EACR), researchers from Cardiff University and collaborators presented their research on the role of BCL3 in tumor progression and the therapeutic potential of TNAT-101.
In recognition of the fact that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are necessary prerequisites for precision medicine, the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) announced the launch of a DEI Hub at its 11th Congress, which is being held in Helsinki through June 24. “We know now that when we talk about personalized medicine, we have to understand that talking about stroke, for example, in a woman is different than talking about stroke in a man,” EAN president Elena Moro told the audience at the opening session of the conference.
On the same day that FDA Commissioner Martin Makary spoke in a fireside chat during the 2025 Biotechnology Innovation Organization’s International Convention, the agency unveiled a pilot commissioner’s national priority voucher program that will enable companies to receive a shortened FDA review time of one to two months.
