Bristol Myers Squibb Co. has identified serum/glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (SGK1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of fibrosis, cancer, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, metabolic, inflammatory, neurological and immunological disorders, among others.
CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. has obtained clinical trial approval from China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for SYH-2046 for heart failure after acute myocardial infarction.
FK506-binding protein-like (FKBPL) is an immunophilin protein family member with critical functions in physiological and pathological angiogenesis. Its therapeutic peptide derivative AD-01, currently a preclinical peptide candidate, targets angiogenesis via CD44. AD-01 acts both as a vascular stabilizer and an anti-inflammatory agent under pro-inflammatory conditions.
Northstrive Biosciences Inc., a subsidiary of PMGC Holdings Inc., has entered into a development and license agreement with Yuva Biosciences Inc. to discover and develop novel pharmaceutical treatments for obesity, type 2 diabetes and other cardiometabolic conditions using Yuva’s mitochondrial science-focused platform Mitonova, powered by AI.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a disease in which the left ventricle (LV) of the heart shows impaired relaxation during cardiac diastole, often accompanied by structural and functional abnormalities.
Regenerative heart therapy, integrating biocompatible materials with nucleic acids, proteins and live cells, offers a promising personalized approach to treating cardiac ischemic reperfusion injury and heart failure.
In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers from Nanjing University present a novel nanovaccine cocktail formulated by individual conjugation of antigen p210 and adjuvant CpG ODNs onto superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs).
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are monoclonal antibodies activating the immune system to kill tumor cells, representing a major advancement in cancer treatment. However, by activating T-cell immunity, ICI treatment can lead to immune-related adverse events affecting the several organs, including the heart.
Eight months after announcing the $18.5 million first tranche of its series A, Augustine Therapeutics has closed the oversubscribed round at $85 million and is now ready to begin clinical development of its novel histone deacetylase-6 (HDAC6) inhibitors.
It has been previously shown that the nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A (NR4A) plays an important role in cardiovascular pathophysiology. Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University thus aimed to assess the expression profile of NR4A in platelets and the biological functions of this nuclear receptor in platelet aggregation.
