Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Zhejiang University have jointly discovered N2-3-fluoro-5-substituted phenyl-2-aminopyrimidine derivatives.
Work at the Chinese University of Hong Kong has led to the identification of bilobalide derivatives reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
Kind Pharmaceuticals LLC has patented substituted benzocyclobutene compounds acting as erythropoietin (EPO) production inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer and polycythemia.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a member of the herpesvirus family, is a highly common human pathogen that can remain latent in B lymphocytes after the primary infection.

Researchers from Universidad del País Vasco and affiliated organizations presented data from a study that aimed to investigate the role of macrophage receptor with collagenous structure (MARCO) in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
Medigene AG and Epimab Biotherapeutics Inc. have entered a strategic codevelopment agreement to research and develop off-the-shelf T-cell receptor (TCR)-guided T-cell engagers (TCR-TCEs) for the treatment of immune-related disorders, such as solid tumors.
Researchers from Medizinische Hochschule Hannover and affiliated organizations reported data from studies aimed to identify non-coding microRNAs (miRNAs) with therapeutic potential against liver fibrosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Functional screening of patient-derived primary human hepatic myofibroblasts, followed by in vivo validation in mouse models of fibrosis, were performed in search of antifibrotic miRNAs.
Mutations in the TP53 gene occur in approximately half of human cancer types, with the TP53 Y220C mutation found in 1% of all solid tumors. Researchers from PMV Pharmaceuticals Inc. and collaborators described the effect of rezatapopt (PC-14586), a first-in-class selective p53 reactivator designed to reinstate p53 Y220C mutant function.
