Chineses researchers investigated the relationship between formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) expression and neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS), specifically evaluating the therapeutic potential of the FPR1 antagonist T-0080.
Is there a link between cellular senescence and multiple sclerosis (MS) progression? Several presentations at this year’s European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis 2025 (ECTRIMS 2025) conference, in Barcelona, which ended Sept. 26, addressed this question
Antibody-based therapy against CD20 has had successful results in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), but some patients still have incomplete response to therapy and clinical relapse. The early identification of predictors of response is key to optimize treatment strategies. Proteomic profiling in serum of patients may confer the identification of candidate markers for patient stratification and support personalized treatment approaches.
Researchers from Novartis AG reported preclinical efficacy data on VHB-937, an agonist human monoclonal antibody targeting TREM2 in models of neuroinflammation.

Researchers from Opko Health Inc. and Entera Bio Ltd. recently presented preclinical pharmacokinetic data on OPK-8801003, an oral GLP-2 analogue developed for the treatment of short bowel syndrome.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), formerly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder with no known cure. While three therapies have gained U.S. FDA approvals to date, including Rilutek (riluzole), Radicava/Radicava ORS (edaravone) and tofersen (BIIB-067, the lack of a disease-modifying drug has spurred the continual search for novel therapies.
Beijing QL Biopharmaceutical Co. Ltd.’s once-monthly GLP-1 receptor agonist, zovaglutide (ZT-002), met its primary and secondary endpoints in a phase II obesity trial, and QL Biopharm will now advance the GLP-1 to a pivotal phase III study.
Obesity is a multifactorial metabolic disorder with limited treatment options capable of sustaining weight loss and improving systemic metabolic health. MicroRNA-22 (miR-22) has emerged as an essential regulator of metabolic homeostasis, influencing lipid biosynthesis, mitochondrial function and brown adipose tissue development. These roles position miR-22 as a promising target for therapeutic intervention in obesity and related disorders such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic disease (MASLD) and its progressive disease state, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).
