Researchers from Aarhus University and Synuca Therapeutics recently presented a novel drug-like small-molecule inhibitor of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA), SYN-4569, with superior pharmacological properties and evaluated its efficacy in vitro and in vivo. SYN-4569 is an orally available compound with good potency, pharmacokinetics and brain-penetrant properties.

A large-scale study has revealed the impact of germline variants on proteins in 10 cancer types. Scientists from the National Cancer Institute’s Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) conducted a precision proteogenomic analysis in a pan-cancer study with data from 1,064 patients, identifying tumor heterogeneity and tumorigenesis associated with heritable genetic alterations. The results provide a broad view of cancer risk that could be useful for patient stratification and the design of prevention strategies.
