Researchers from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid presented the development and preclinical characterization of a novel specific radiotracer for the diagnosis of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI).
Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is absent or expressed at a very low level in normal tissues. However, it is overexpressed in around 80% of solid tumor stroma.
According to World Health Organization data, endometriosis affects about 10% of reproductive-age females globally. That already makes endometriosis a wildly underresearched and underfunded disease in relation to its prevalence. Plus, Rama Kommagani thinks even 10% is an underestimation. “Diagnosis is very underreported, particularly in low- and middle-income countries,” Kommagani, who is an associate professor of pathology at Baylor College of Medicine, told BioWorld.
Research into the regulation of gene expression experienced a significant breakthrough with the discovery of microRNA, small RNA molecules that do not code for proteins but control their translation. This finding has earned its authors Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Research into the regulation of gene expression experienced a significant breakthrough with the discovery of microRNA, small RNA molecules that do not code for proteins but control their translation. This finding has earned its discoverers – Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun – the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine “for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.”
Norroy Bioscience Co. Ltd. has prepared drug conjugates comprising a radionuclide linked to a ligand targeting glutamate carboxypeptidase II (NAALADase; NAAG peptidase, FOLH1; PSMA) through a linker for use as positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging agents.
At the European Federation for Medicinal chemistry and Chemical biology’s International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry (EFMC-ISMC) held this week in Rome, Novartis Biomedical Research reported the discovery and evaluation of NVP-EVS-459, a low molecular weight folate receptor (FR)-targeting radioconjugate, for the potential treatment and diagnosis of cancer.
Researchers from Shandong University and affiliated organizations reported the discovery and preclinical characterization of novel 68Ga-labeled PSMA-targeting tracers for the diagnosis of prostate cancer.
Universität Bonn has divulged P2X purinoceptor 4 (P2RX4; P2X4) antagonists reported to be useful as diagnostics and for the treatment of pain, inflammation, cancer, stroke, multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis and obesity.
