Researchers from Sutro Biopharma Inc. presented the discovery and preclinical characterization of a novel receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1)-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), STRO-003, being developed for the treatment of cancer.
A research team at Duality Biologics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. has discovered a novel anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), DB-2306, as a potential therapeutic candidate for the treatment of autoimmune disease.
The liver X receptor (LXR) is a nuclear hormone receptor that is one of the most important regulators of cholesterol homeostasis and plays a key role in triglyceride (TG) regulation. Researchers from Orsobio Inc. and Phenex Pharmaceuticals AG have presented preclinical data on TLC-2716, a potent, small-molecule LXR inverse agonist for the treatment of lipid disorders.
Researchers from Elpiscience Biopharma Ltd. have reported the construction of a PD-L1/SIRPα bispecific macrophage engager (BiME), ES-019. A panel of anti-PD-L1/SIRPα antibodies based on single domain antibody was generated, with the candidates containing different orientations, ratios and IgG isotypes of anti-PD-L1 arm and anti-SIRPα arm.
Immunocytokines (ICs) engage multiple mechanisms of action by the use of antibodies to deliver cytokine payloads to the surface of the same immune cell, known as cis-signaling. Researchers from Bright Peak Therapeutics AG have developed ICs by using a novel approach based on site-specific chemical conjugation of engineered cytokines to existing nonmodified antibodies.
Researchers presented data from a study that aimed to assess the repair potential of acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) treatment for compression injuries.
Heat-shock protein 90 (HSP90) is known to be a key member of the epichaperome complex that is involved in the maintenance of protein homeostasis during stressful and nonstress conditions, and known to be overexpressed in glioma tumors, conferring cancer cells survival and resistance to therapy. In this study, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center investigated the activity and toxicity profile of MPT-0B640, an HSP90 inhibitor, for treating gliomas and its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) using glioma stem-like cell (GSC) lines.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a disease affecting the bile ducts that can lead to end-stage liver disease and cholangiocarcinoma. Patients with this disease lack therapeutic treatment other than liver transplantation.
Animal models recapitulating the immune features of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) are very limited. An Osaka University research team has developed a novel murine model of CHB and tested the efficacy and immunomodulating effects of interferon-α (IFN-α) therapy.
Researchers from Gilead Sciences Inc. presented preclinical data for the hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine candidates GS-2829 and GS-6779. Conservation analysis and functional immunogenicity screening were applied to identify optimized anti-hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg).
