The leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B2 (LILRB2), also known as ILT4, is an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM)-containing receptor that is widely expressed on immunosuppressive myeloid cells in the tumor microenvironment.
Curevac NV and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have entered into a co-development and licensing agreement to develop novel mRNA-based cancer vaccines.
Mutations in GTPase KRAS occur in about 25% of human cancers, with the KRAS G12V mutation being one of the most frequent variants, and lead to activation of the MAPK pathway, thus promoting tumorigenesis.
Researchers at Oncopia Therapeutics Inc. (dba Proteovant Therapeutics Inc.) and University of Michigan have synthesized proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising a Von Hippel-Lindau disease tumor suppressor (VHL) binding moiety covalently linked to a probable global transcription activator SNF2L2 (SMARCA2; BAF190B; SNF2-α) and/or transcription activator BRG1 (SMARCA4; BAF190A; SNF2-β) targeting moiety through a linker.
Zinc transporter ZIP6, also known as LIV-1, is a transmembrane protein that is an interesting target for antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy because of its higher expression in tumors and almost no expression in normal tissues.
With the aim of overcoming drug resistance and reducing the toxicities associated with pan-fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitors, scientists from 3H Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. developed a highly selective and potent small-molecule inhibitor of FGFR2, 3HP-2827, to be developed for the treatment of FGFR2‑driven solid tumors.
A research team at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), funded by Cancervax Inc., has created a promising new bispecific antibody vaccine for treating recurrent Ewing sarcoma.
Multiple myeloma (MM) stands as the second most common hematologic malignancy. Proteasome inhibitors are effective in MM, but many patients develop resistance, which is thought to be caused by mutations in the PSMB5 gene.
Onkure Inc. has described phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, congenital lipomatous overgrowth, vascular malformations, epidermal naevi and skeletal abnormalities and scoliosis (CLOVES syndrome), and PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS).
Sironax Ltd. has divulged nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAmPRTase; Nampt) activators reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, neurodegeneration, inflammation, and mitochondrial, metabolic, cardiovascular, muscle and renal disorders, among others.
