Junshi Biosciences Co. Ltd.’s ongericimab, a recombinant humanized anti-PCSK9 monoclonal antibody, met the primary endpoints of reducing the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in two phase III trials in primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed hyperlipidemia.
Researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have published data from a study designed to assess the role of serine-arginine-rich splicing factor 1 (SRSF1) in hepatocyte function and survival.
Positive results from Bridgebio Pharma Inc.’s phase II study of infigratinib in children with achondroplasia, a genetic disease that inhibits bone length and leads to short stature, prompted the company stock to surge. Participants receiving the highest dosage, which was the fifth cohort getting 0.25 mg/kg daily, saw a 3.03-centimeter increase, about 1.19 inch, in their height annually, which produced a “p” value of 0.0022.
Scientists at the University of Virginia have discovered an anti-aging mechanism mediated by an enzyme that metabolizes alcohol. Alcohol dehydrogenase, which in Caenorhabditis elegans and yeast replaces the rejuvenating effect of autophagy, would reduce age-associated glycerol levels, also promoting longevity in mice and humans.
Tyra Biosciences Inc. is expanding development of TYRA-300 into achondroplasia based on promising preclinical results from a study conducted in collaboration with the Imagine Institute. A specific mutation in fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) causes over 97% of achondroplasia.
Junshi Biosciences Co. Ltd.’s ongericimab, a recombinant humanized anti-PCSK9 monoclonal antibody, met the primary endpoints of reducing the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in two phase III trials in primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed hyperlipidemia.
THADA (thyroid adenoma associated) is a target gene of chromosomal aberration in thyroid adenomas, which has been previously identified as a type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)-associated gene. Recently, researchers from Shandong University and affiliated organizations investigated the effects of THADA deficiency on glucose homeostasis.
A multi-institutional team of researchers has reported the development of an anti-IL-8 antibody against endometriosis using recycling antibody engineering technology. The study confirmed the role of the inflammatory cytokine IL-8 in the development of inflammation and fibrosis in endometriosis and showed that administration of IL-8 antibodies in primate models improved endometriosis pathology.
