Regulus Therapeutics Inc. has provided an update on its preclinical studies evaluating a library of oligonucleotides designed to inhibit miR-155 for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Oryzon Genomics SA has presented preclinical efficacy data on ORY-4001, a selective histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitor that was recently nominated as a clinical development candidate for the treatment of certain neurological diseases such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and others.
The University of Sydney has patented P2X7 receptor antagonists reported to be useful for the treatment of stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease, atherosclerosis, diabetic retinopathy and myocardial infarction, among others.
Researchers from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia presented data from a study that linked variants in DNA methyltransferase 1-associated protein 1 (DMAP1) to a novel neurodevelopmental disorder.
Bluerock Therapeutics LP has reported the first in vitro and in vivo results on the company’s new cell therapy DA-02, consisting of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived dopaminergic neurons.
At the recent International Society for Stem Cell Research meeting, Vita Therapeutics Inc. presented the first preclinical results on VTA-100, a cell therapy consisting of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived satellite cells, for the treatment of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2A/R1.
Beyond Air Inc. has entered into an agreement with Yissum Research Development Co. of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem to license the commercial rights for multiple neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) inhibitor candidates, currently being developed for the treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurological conditions.
The degradation pathways of cellular components can be shared by different molecules or selectively replace different substances and organelles. In the brain, synaptic transmission involves signaling pathways for a wide range of molecules, vesicles and receptors that require constant recycling. A proteomic study from the University of Lausanne and the University of Fribourg sheds light on brain autophagy-selective routes in adolescent, adult and aged brains.
Researchers from F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. and Icagen Inc. have disclosed heteroaryl-urea compounds acting as potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily KQT member 2 (KCNQ2; Kv7.2) activators reported to be useful for the treatment of autism spectrum...
