Our immune cells are not just “defenders” against deadly viruses and pathogens but also a great balancer for tissue homeostasis. For neurological disorders, understanding the neuro-immune axis could be key to treating previously untreatable conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, according to Jun R. Huh, professor of immunology at Harvard Medical School.
Scientists from Recludix Pharma Inc. presented the preclinical characterization of REX-7117, an orally available, reversible, SH2 domain-targeting STAT3 inhibitor, being developed for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Chiome Bioscience Inc. and Asahi Kasei Pharma Corp. have entered into an exclusive license agreement to develop and commercialize Chiome’s humanized anti-CX3CR1 antibody, PFKR, currently in the preclinical stage.
Autoimmunity Biosolutions has closed a seed financing to support its work advancing a next-generation, immuno-corrective therapy for autoimmune diseases. The company’s approach targets a branch of the interleukin-7 (IL-7)/interleukin-7 receptor (IL-7R) pathway controlled by the soluble IL-7R (sIL-7R), a critical amplifier of autoimmune reactions.
The U.S. FDA added hidradenitis suppurativa to the label for UCB SA’s Bimzelx (bimekizumab-bkzx), throwing renewed light on the indication, a chronic disease that causes painful, boil-like lumps that appear under the skin. Regulators cleared the humanized IL-17A and IL-17F antagonist for adults with moderate to severe HS, marking the drug’s fifth approval.
Endometriosis has been woefully under-recognized in the medical community, and consequently, the delay between onset and diagnosis is often quite long, with some women waiting up to 12 years for a diagnosis. Endometriosis affects about 10% of women, and about 190 million women worldwide live with endometriosis.
