Trueline Therapeutics Inc., a subsidiary of Anji Pharmaceuticals Inc., has successfully completed IND-enabling studies with Mcl-1 inhibitor TTX-810, a highly potent and selective macrocyclic compound to treat patients with solid tumor or hematological cancers. The company is now on track to initiate clinical development.
PARP14 is an ADP-ribosyltransferase that transfers ADP-ribose from NAD+ onto the appropriate protein target. PARP14 selectively binds to STAT6 and promotes expression of IL-4-regulated genes, thus modulating inflammatory signaling pathways. PARP14 is overexpressed in tissues from patients with dermatomyositis, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and other inflammatory disorder cells compared to normal tissues.
By analyzing gene expression patterns in the placenta of nearly 150 pregnancies and comparing them to fetal gene expression in the brain, researchers from the Lieber Institute for Brain Development have gained new insights into the importance of placental tissue in setting the risk trajectory for the development of schizophrenia. The work was published in Nature Communications on May 15, 2023.
