Alternative, antagonist approach to GI diseases unveiled by ThirtyFiveBio

March 30, 2023
By Caroline Richards
No Comments
The role of G protein-coupled receptor 35 (GPR35) in gastrointestinal (GI) diseases has been genetically validated for some time, with several pharmaceutical companies advancing programs designed to tackle the target; however, most of these efforts to date have focused on increasing GPR35 activity. ThirtyFiveBio’s approach is different: The newly founded virtual biotech company believes that antagonizing the target and thereby blocking unwanted GPR35 signaling may be a more appropriate way to address GI conditions, including digestive tract cancers.

No Comments
In Alzheimer’s, the amyloid beta hypothesis has proved most persistent in terms of drug development efforts to date, but aggregation of other pathogenic factors – phosphorylated tau (p-tau), APOE4, TREM2 and alpha-synuclein, for example – have also emerged as hallmarks of the disease.
