Another two biopharma companies priced IPOs on Nasdaq to raise a combined $350 million, becoming the fourth and fifth firms to debut on U.S. markets in 2026.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disorder with limited long-term therapeutic options. Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) offer a promising strategy for IBD by enabling selective degradation of disease-relevant proteins and potentially improving efficacy and safety.
Wuxi Biologics Co. Ltd. and Sinorda Biomedicine have established a strategic collaboration for the development and manufacturing of SND-006, a novel bispecific antibody, for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and other autoimmune diseases.
Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH signed a €1.058 billion (US$1.26 billion) deal with Simcere Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. to license select rights to SIM-0709, a preclinical TL1A/IL-23p19-directed bispecific antibody targeting inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH and Simcere Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. have entered into a license and collaboration agreement to develop SIM-0709 for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK), also known as MAP3K14, is the key kinase driving noncanonical NF-κB signaling and p100 processing. Researchers from China Pharmaceutical University reported the discovery and preclinical evaluation of a novel NIK inhibitor.
Aidoc Medical Ltd.'s Care AI foundation model secured 11 new U.S. FDA-cleared indications for use in emergency department triage. Now, with 14 total cleared indications enabling comprehensive evaluation and prioritization of abdomen CTs in a single workflow, Aidoc Care can help health systems identify critical findings more quickly and mitigate delays caused by overcrowding and imaging backlogs.
Increasing evidence exists regarding receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), a necroptosis regulator, being involved in inflammation and fibrosis in chronic liver disorders. The relationship between necroptosis and the inhibition of RIPK1 were investigated in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) in a recently published study using clinical specimens from patients.
Nanjing Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has discovered somatostatin SST2 receptor agonists described as potentially useful for the treatment of acute pancreatitis and peptic ulcer bleeding.
Researchers from Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health and Guangming Advanced Research Institute (China) proposed a new strategy based on a circular RNA (circRNA) encoding human relaxin-2 (cRLN2). circRNAs, thanks to their high stability and low immunogenicity, have been proposed as promising new drugs for several applications.
