Sitryx Therapeutics Ltd. has disclosed 2-methylene-4-oxo-butanoic acid derivative compounds acting as nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NFE2-related factor 2; NFE2L2; NRF2) activators reported to be useful for the treatment of inflammatory disorders.
An in-depth investigation of the underlying causes of pulmonary symptoms that in some cases persist for months following recovery from the acute stage of COVID-19 has found a distinctive proinflammatory signature in the plasma and airways of affected patients. The research could provide an explanation for the ongoing interstitial lung disease and fibrosis seen in patients who were hospitalized with severe COVID-19, and also point to neutrophils as a specific therapeutic target.
Medshine Discovery Inc. has identified imidazopyridine compounds acting as Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
Low-dose administration of anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies could potentially reverse conditions associated with aging such as the accumulation of senescent cells and inflammation, according to a new study conducted at the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Tokyo.
Saniona AB has completed preclinical development with SAN-903 and is ready to start the regulatory process for entering phase I trials either alone or together with a partner. SAN-903 is a novel, potential first-in-class medicine based on inhibition of the calcium-activated potassium ion channel KCa3.1.
Based on an analysis of critical transcription factors, researchers have stratified rheumatoid arthritis (RA) into two subtypes where gene expression was driven by RAR-α or TGF-β, respectively. The findings, published in Nature Communications on Oct. 20, 2022, by researchers from the University of California, San Diego, give new insights into factors that affect the treatment response in RA, and could point to novel treatment strategies.
Three years after WHO declared the COVID-19 pandemic, some patients are still reporting symptoms from long-ago infections. And the scientific community is studying the reasons for the post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC). Until now, the studies provided varied reasons related to persistent COVID or PASC, such as acute SARS-CoV-2 injury in different organs, or reservoirs of the virus in certain tissues, as it happens with other pathogens like HIV. At the IDWeek 2022 infectious disease conference held this week in Washington, D.C., Eric Daar, chief of the Division of HIV Medicine at the Lundquist Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, moderated the session, 'COVID-19: Post-acute sequelae', where talks offered new results on the symptoms of people who have suffered prolonged COVID during the pandemic.
Bioage Labs Inc. has synthesized new NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes, hearing loss, Ménière's disease, tinnitus, vertigo and inflammatory disorders.
At first blush, to say that depression occurs with other diseases may seem like belaboring the obvious. After all, to put it in the bluntest possible terms, it’s sad to be sick. But by looking more closely, it soon becomes clear that the association is stronger than that. The strongest association between depression and other diseases, Stefan Gold told the audience at the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP) annual conference in Vienna this week, is “not necessarily the most severe or most immediately life-threatening disorders… [it’s] across the spectrum."
