Several Asia biotechs this week – including Innocare Pharma Ltd., Akeso Pharmaceuticals Inc., Sanbio Co. Ltd. and Ascletis Pharma Inc. – unveiled the start of new late-stage clinical trials or interim findings from early stage studies.
The lung and thrombosis may play a key role in cancer and metastasis progression, according to a collaborative study led by Cornell University scientists.
Boston Scientific Corp. recently received CE mark for its navigation-enabled Farawave Nav ablation catheter and Faraview mapping software to be used with its Farapulse pulsed field ablation (PFA) system. The technologies are expected to improve physicians’ understanding of patients’ atrial fibrillation to enable treatment using the Farapulse PFA system.
Pulmonary hypertension, despite advances in treatment, still has a poor prognosis, which is often associated with right heart failure, and for which pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe form. There is an urgent need to unravel the molecular mechanisms behind PAH and identify new targets, especially those involved in the remodeling process. The proliferation and resistance to apoptosis of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells are key contributors to pulmonary vascular remodeling in PAH.
Researchers from Tikkunlev Therapeutics Inc. and the University of Utah have presented preclinical data on TLT-101, a gene therapy consisting of an adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) vector encoding cardiac bridging integrator 1 (cBIN1) designed for the treatment of heart failure.
The lung and thrombosis may play a key role in cancer and metastasis progression, according to a collaborative study led by Cornell University scientists. In the nonmetastatic lung microenvironment of several cancer types, the development of a prothrombosis niche promotes metastasis formation through the release of small extracellular vesicles loaded with an integrin protein.
Med-tech companies focusing on cardiovascular diseases or neurological conditions, women’s health or robotic surgery, will find European investors willing to deploy capital into their stories. European venture capital firms are excited about the continuing innovation and opportunities in the sector.
Researchers from Morphic Therapeutic Inc. and affiliated organizations published data from a study that aimed to assess the potential of using arginylglycylaspartic acid (RGD) integrins for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, such as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
Solid Biosciences Inc. is preparing for a sit-down with the U.S. FDA this year to discuss the firm’s results with the next-generation gene therapy SGT-003 for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
Nearly six weeks after Johnson & Johnson paused the U.S. external evaluation of its Varipulse pulsed field ablation catheter to investigate several neurovascular events in initial cases, the med-tech giant resumed its limited market release with revised global instructions for use.
