Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a form of anovulatory infertility characterized by hyperandrogenemia, irregular menses and polycystic ovarian morphology. Apart from experiencing reproductive-related symptoms, women with PCOS face an increased risk of obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
At the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s annual meeting, researchers from Tallac Therapeutics Inc. reported the discovery of TAC-003, a novel Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonist and Nectin-4-specific antibody conjugate, being developed as cancer immunotherapy candidate.
New and updated preclinical data presented at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer congress in San Diego, by: Akeso, Antengene, Asher Biotherapeutics, Bioinvent International, Carisma Therapeutics, Catalym, Coeptis Therapeutics, Context Therapeutics, Corbus Pharmaceuticals, Gracell Biotechnologies, Lyell Immunopharma.
Researchers from Medigene AG recently presented the discovery and preclinical evaluation of first-in-class, third-generation T-cell receptor T-cell (TCR-T) therapies, MDG-1015 and MDG-2011.
Researchers from Coave Therapeutics SA presented a novel conjugated AAV (coAAV)-GBA1 candidate for the treatment of patients suffering from PD related to GBA1 mutations.
Researchers from Biontech SE and Genmab BV presented the discovery and preclinical evaluation of a novel Duobody-EpCAMx4-1BB (BNT314/GEN1059), a novel Fc-inert immunomodulatory bispecific antibody (bsAb) designed to boost antitumor immune responses through EpCAM-dependent 4-1BB agonistic activity.
Researchers from Centessa Pharmaceuticals plc presented the preclinical characterization of ORX-750, a novel selective orexin receptor 2 (OX2R) agonist aimed to be used for the treatment of narcolepsy.
Researchers from Shanghai Henlius Biotech Inc. presented the discovery and preclinical characterization of HLX-42, a next-generation EGFR-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) being developed for the treatment of cancer.
At the IDWeek 2023 infectious disease conference, Rachelle Koch, a medical student from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, presented the work done in David Greenberg’s Lab on a new strategy to tackle Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections using D-peptide-conjugated phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (D-PPMOs). P. aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen showing a multidrug-resistance (MDR) pattern that is at the root of significant morbidity and mortality, especially in immunocompromised patients with severe chronic lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis.
Approximately 2% to 6% of familiar dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) cases are caused by inherited mutations in the RBM20 gene, which encodes the RNA binding motif 20 (RBM20), a splicing factor that regulates the splicing of several targets involved in the regulation of sarcomeric structure and calcium handling in the myocardium.
