G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are involved in many diseases, yet raising therapeutic antibodies against them is notoriously difficult because the transmembrane receptors contain only short extracellular regions that can function as antigens. As a result, only two therapeutic antibodies against GPCRs have ever been licensed for the clinic.
A large-scale study has revealed the impact of germline variants on proteins in 10 cancer types. Scientists from the National Cancer Institute’s Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) conducted a precision proteogenomic analysis in a pan-cancer study with data from 1,064 patients, identifying tumor heterogeneity and tumorigenesis associated with heritable genetic alterations. The results provide a broad view of cancer risk that could be useful for patient stratification and the design of prevention strategies.
Korea University Research & Business Foundation Sejong Campus has described thiobenzimidazole derivatives reported to be useful for the treatment of breast cancer.
Momentum Therapeutics Inc. has described receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of systematic inflammatory response syndrome, autoimmune disease, cancer, metabolic diseases, neurodegeneration and pain.
Researchers at Provincial Health Services Authority and University of British Columbia have synthesized radiolabeled peptides targeting gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) reported to be useful for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
Samjin Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has disclosed stimulator of interferon genes protein (STING; TMEM173) agonists reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, allergy, autoimmune diseases and inflammatory disorders.
A new study published in Nature Cancer reveals a novel regulatory mechanism of ferroptosis resistance that may help overcome therapeutic barriers in cancer treatment.
