Researchers from Singlomics Zhuhai Danxu Biopharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. presented DXP-006, a humanized antibody targeting IL1RAP, a shared co-receptor required for IL-1, IL-33 and IL-36 cytokines.
Cue Biopharma Inc. has reached a preclinical milestone in its collaboration and license agreement with Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG, following the latter’s selection of a first compound for lead optimization. The milestone triggers a $7.5 million payment to Cue.
Researchers from the University of Naples Federico II (Italy) and collaborating institutions reportedd the design of a next-generation mRNA vaccine that leverages a phylogenetically informed consensus receptor binding domain heterotrimers representing the major variant lineages.
Researchers from Hangzhou Innogate Pharma Co. Ltd. and Innorace Biopharma Co. Ltd. have identified new cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (MB21D1; cGAS) inhibitors that are potentially useful for the treatment of Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and more.
Nimbus Salacia Inc. has disclosed new serine/threonine-protein kinase SIK2 (QIK) inhibitors potentially useful for the treatment of autoimmune disease, cancer, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis and skin hyperpigmentation, among others.
Infinimmune Inc. has recently presented results at the annual American Academy of Dermatology conference regarding their anti-IL-22 antibody IFX-101 for the treatment of atopic dermatitis.
Certain cancers, such as triple-negative breast cancer, produce antibodies that, although they help fight the tumor, can cross the blood-brain barrier and alter the function of NMDA receptors (NMDAR) in the brain, which are essential for neuronal signaling. Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) have identified their origin and described how this process is linked to the maturation of these antibodies, which can activate or inhibit the receptor, causing neurological and psychiatric symptoms.
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder best known for its motor symptoms. However, a proportion of patients also develop dementia as the condition advances. Yet the biological divide between those who experience this cognitive decline and those who do not has remained an open question. Are they different conditions or simply stages of the same disease?
Biolojic Design Ltd. has earned an additional milestone payment from its collaboration partner, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., for TEV‘325 (TEV-56308, formerly BD-9), a multibody targeting IL-13 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) for autoimmune disease
Researchers from Chengdu Kanghua Biological Products Co. Ltd. recently published information on their novel varicella zoster virus (VZV) mRNA vaccine candidate (KH014). KH014 contains sequence-optimized mRNAs encoding full-length glycoprotein E encapsulated in ionizable lipid nanoparticles.
