Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) compounds have become game changers in the treatment of obesity, but they have limitations due to long-term efficacy, lean mass preservation and tolerability in certain populations. Mitorx Therapeutics Ltd. has presented data for MTRX-31 (Myo-004), a mitochondrial-targeted compound that provides an alternative mode of action for treating obesity.
Researchers from Verdiva Bio Ltd. and collaborators recently presented preclinical data on VRB-103, an oral amylin analogue, comparing its profile with those of cagrilintide and eloralintide, two subcutaneously administered analogues currently in clinical development.
CD45RC is an isoform of protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type C, a protein that plays a key role in regulating antigen receptor signaling in T and B cells. While it is expressed on most circulating B cells, it is only highly expressed on Th1 precursors, Th1 cells and T effector memory CD45RA+ cells (TEMRA).
Researchers from Ractigen Therapeutics Co. Ltd. presented preclinical data on LiCO-saUcp1, a small activating RNA (saRNA) therapeutic designed to upregulate UCP1 expression in adipose tissue.
Researchers from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine described the role of TRIM54 in cirrhosis progression using two independent animal models of chronic liver injury – a DEN-induced rat model and a CCl4-induced mouse model of liver cirrhosis.
Therorna Shanghai Co. Ltd. has presented data on TI-0032, an anti-CD19 CAR circular RNA therapeutic delivered by lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for the treatment of autoimmune and hematological disorders.
Kymera Therapeutics has developed KT-579, a potent and selective IRF5 degrader as a novel approach for treating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjögren disease.
At the recent American Diabetes Association meeting, researchers from Century Therapeutics Inc. presented preclinical efficacy data on CNTY-813, an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell therapy engineered using the company’s proprietary Allo-Evasion 5.0 platform.
Researchers from Rectify Pharmaceuticals Inc. presented preclinical efficacy data on RTY-406, a novel dual-acting ABCB4/MDR3 and ABCB11/BSEP modulator, in animal models of primary sclerosing cholangitis.
Researchers at Obleno Bio Inc. have reported preclinical efficacy data for LBL-051-S3, a trispecific T-cell engager antibody targeting CD3, CD19 and BCMA, in nonhuman primate models.
