Data on the poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) inhibitor SYX-3759, being investigated for the treatment of homologous recombination deficient (HRD) malignancies, were recently discussed by researchers from Hangzhou Synrx Therapeutics Technology Co. Ltd.
IL-18 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that triggers IFN-γ production and increases T- and NK-cell activity. IL-18’s effects are blocked by IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), an endogenous protein that binds to IL-18 with high affinity and that is highly present in the tumor microenvironment (TME).
There is still a lack of specific biomarkers in biliary epithelial cells of patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Investigators from the...
Researchers from Bliss Biopharmaceutical Co. Ltd. presented the discovery and preclinical evaluation of BB-1701, a new HER2-targeting eribulin-containing antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) being developed as a potential new anticancer agent.
Human natural killer (NK) cells play an essential role in tumor surveillance and can attack malignant cells in an antigen-independent manner. Because of this, allogeneic NK cells can be engineered as off-the-shelf therapies and may be used to target different hematological malignancies or solid tumors.
A study comprising a total of 406 subjects, including both healthy individuals (n=54) and patients with dry eye (DE) disease was performed with the aim of discovering basal tear cytokine markers for disease diagnosis and severity. Based on guidelines, patients with DE were classified as predisposed DE (pDE, n=136), mild-moderate DE (mDE, n=185), and severe DE (sDE, n=31).
Around 73,000 women are diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) every year in the U.S. and EU. TNBC grows and spreads faster than other types of breast cancer; moreover, it has less treatment options, and usually, a worse prognosis.
Esophageal remodeling occurs during the development of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE); syndecan-1, also known as CD138, is a cell surface marker involved in extracellular remodeling and it has been shown to be differentially expressed in tissue from patients with EoE compared to healthy esophageal tissue. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers conducted studies to validate serum CD138 levels as a noninvasive tool for the diagnosis of EoE.
