Vandria SA has been awarded two grants totaling €3.8M (US$4.1M) from Innosuisse and Eurostars to support its two lead drug candidates addressing CNS and muscle diseases, respectively.
Stroke is the main neurologic cause of global morbidity and mortality with a global prevalence of more than 100 million last year. Under neuropathological conditions such as excitotoxicity associated with stroke, the pro-glycolytic enzyme 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase-3 (PFKFB3) enhances glucose consumption which leads to redox stress and apoptotic neuronal death.
In a first, the U.S. FDA accepted an artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning-model into its Innovative Science and Technology Approaches for New Drugs (ISTAND) pilot program for drug development. The program will support use of Deliberate AI Inc.’s anxiety and depression assessment tool, called the AI-generated Clinical Outcome Assessment, as a qualified drug development tool.
Researchers at Mount Sinai have identified a unique neuron type that could explain vulnerability in Parkinson’s disease and thus help unravel the neuronal complexity of this disorder – hopefully leading to more precise and effective therapies. The findings, published in Science Advances on Jan. 10, 2024, provide new insights into the genetic causes and changes occurring in substantia nigra during PD pathogenesis.
Cantabio Pharmaceuticals Inc. has been awarded a grant by The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF) to support the development of a cell-penetrant DJ-1 protein replacement therapeutic candidate for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
At the ongoing WORLDSymposium meeting in San Diego, Gain Therapeutics Inc. presented preclinical data on the company’s GCase enhancer GT-02287 as a potential approach to rescue motor function in Parkinson’s disease (PD).
In a first, the U.S. FDA accepted an artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning-model into its Innovative Science and Technology Approaches for New Drugs (ISTAND) pilot program for drug development. The program will support use of Deliberate AI Inc.’s anxiety and depression assessment tool, called the AI-generated Clinical Outcome Assessment (AI-COA), as a qualified drug development tool.
Researchers from Lanzhou University have described the discovery and preclinical evaluation of new multifunctional opioid agonists being developed as potential antinociceptive agents.
