Researchers from Biocytogen Pharmaceuticals (Beijing) Co. Ltd. presented the development of a humanized VEGFA model (B-hVEGFA mice) as a new tool for in vivo testing of VEGFA-targeting therapeutics.
Using its artificial intelligence/machine learning platform, Aurigen, Auron Therapeutics Inc. has identified histone acetyltransferase KAT2A/B as a driver of tumor cell plasticity and designed new small-molecule degraders of KAT2A/B.
Despite GTPase KRAS being the most common mutated oncogene in human cancers, there is still an unmet medical need for treating KRAS G12C-mutated cancers.
Researchers from Astrazeneca plc reported preclinical data for AZD-8421, a selective cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) inhibitor, currently being evaluated in early-phase clinical trials as a treatment for solid tumors.
The leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B2 (LILRB2), also known as ILT4, is an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM)-containing receptor that is widely expressed on immunosuppressive myeloid cells in the tumor microenvironment.
Mutations in GTPase KRAS occur in about 25% of human cancers, with the KRAS G12V mutation being one of the most frequent variants, and lead to activation of the MAPK pathway, thus promoting tumorigenesis.
Prior to this year’s Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), it had been 14 years since metastasis had been the subject of a plenary session. So, the Tuesday session on “Evolution of the genome, microenvironment, and host through metastasis” had plenty of new insights to share.
Zinc transporter ZIP6, also known as LIV-1, is a transmembrane protein that is an interesting target for antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy because of its higher expression in tumors and almost no expression in normal tissues.
With the aim of overcoming drug resistance and reducing the toxicities associated with pan-fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitors, scientists from 3H Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. developed a highly selective and potent small-molecule inhibitor of FGFR2, 3HP-2827, to be developed for the treatment of FGFR2‑driven solid tumors.
Multiple myeloma (MM) stands as the second most common hematologic malignancy. Proteasome inhibitors are effective in MM, but many patients develop resistance, which is thought to be caused by mutations in the PSMB5 gene.
