Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences evaluated the highly potent and selective inhibitor of the second bromodomain (BD2) of the bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) family of proteins, ABBV-744, with the aim of assessing its preclinical efficacy and exploring the pathways by which the compound regulates microglia-mediated neuroinflammation.
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis was renamed, for the first time in 34 years, to metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH), but a name change is far from being the biggest development in the field, according to experts at Bioplus Interphex (BIX) Korea 2024.
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in drug discovery has shown promise in recent years with a growing number of new compounds moving forward in the pipeline.
Researchers from Southern Medical University and affiliated organizations assessed the molecular mechanisms behind TGF-β-induced fibrosis in ovarian endometrioma.
A new methodology based on the regulation of genetic enhancers has made it possible to develop a cellular map that reveals new types of helper T cells related to immunological disorders that could be explored for the development of new therapies. “I am very interested in the function of rare T cells, and I am trying to analyze their function by eliminating certain rare T cells with antibodies with ADCC [antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity] activity or by disrupting genes that characterize rare T cells in animal models,” senior author Yasuhiro Murakawa told BioWorld.
UCB SA has identified imidazotriazine derivatives acting as interleukin-17 (IL-17) modulators reported to be useful for the treatment of inflammation and autoimmune diseases.
Immvention Therapeutix Inc. has disclosed benzimidazole-containing compounds acting as inflammasome inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of inflammatory disorders.
The U.S. FDA approved three biosimilar products from Samsung Bioepis Co. Ltd., Tanvex Biopharma Inc. and Formycon AG as follow-on biologics to Stelara (ustekinumab), Neupogen (filgrastim) and Eylea (aflibercept), respectively, on June 28.
Senescence is a hallmark of aging, and senescent cells have a reputation to match. They are ‘zombie cells,’ sort of dead themselves but alive enough to poison their surroundings through senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The reality, though, is more complex.
