Activation of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor may be therapeutically useful against acute lung injury by suppressing expression of pro-inflammatory genes.
Arcus Biosciences Inc. has identified mast/stem cell growth factor receptor Kit (KIT; c-Kit; CD117) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, allergy, autoimmune, inflammatory, cardiovascular, metabolic, dermatological and respiratory disorders, among others.
Researchers at the China Pharmaceutical University have developed a series of highly active receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) inhibitors with potent anti-inflammatory activity. RIPK1 is a key regulator of necroptosis, a form of programmed cell death associated with various inflammatory diseases.
Kymera Therapeutics Inc. has announced a new oral IRF5 degrader program with potential to treat immuno-inflammatory diseases, such as lupus, Sjögren’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
Researchers at Foshan Ionova Biotherapeutics Co. Ltd., Guangdong Touchstone Translational Research Institute Co. Ltd. and Shenzhen Ionova Life Science Co. Ltd. have synthesized interleukin-17A (IL-17A) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of inflammatory disorders.
Quantx Biosciences US Inc. has synthesized interleukin-17A/A homodimer and/or IL-17A/F heterodimer inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
Equillium Inc. is advancing EQ-504, a potent aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) modulator acquired through the acquisition of Ariagen Inc., a company that was majority owned by Equillium’s largest investor, Decheng Capital.
Research of the neuroimmune mechanisms involved in stress-related fear revealed how astrocytes interact with neurons in the amygdala. The study, led by Harvard scientists, also unveiled that this interaction recruited monocytes to the meninges during chronic stress and showed how psychedelic compounds reversed monocyte accumulation in the meninges and reduced fear behavior.
Granite Bio AG has emerged from stealth with $100 million in series A and B funding and a focus on developing first-in-class antibodies that target the root causes of a variety of inflammatory, autoimmune and fibrotic conditions.
