Jacobio Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. has synthesized new protein mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase TIPARP (PARP-7; ARTD14) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Nanchang Helioeast Technology Co. Ltd. has identified new oxa-azaspiro compounds acting as lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A (KDM1A; LSD1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.
Jiangsu Simcere Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has divulged bicyclic mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1; HPK1; MEKKK1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
As patients with Pompe disease age, they develop neurocognitive issues and impairment in their cerebral white matter, as shown in MRI scanning. To date, there are no biomarkers that reflect this disease progression in the brain. The usefulness of neurofilament light chain (NfL) was investigated for this purpose.
Glutaric acidemia type I (GA1) is caused by severe deficiency in enzyme glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase activity, which results in an impairment on lysine catabolism. These patients have accumulation of glutaric acid and glutaryl carnitine, with loss of striatal neurons and atrophy of the frontotemporal cortex. The aim of investigators was to investigate plasma markers of neurodegeneration and inflammation, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and cathepsin D in patients (N = 6) with GA1 and matched healthy controls.
It is known that dendritic cells and innate lymphoid cells type 2 (ILC2) play key roles in allergen sensitization, and humoral factors such as complement C3a and complement C5a are highly involved in the development and severity of asthma through the binding to their receptors C3AR1 and complement C5a receptor 1 (C5AR1), respectively.
C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a group of rare kidney diseases characterized by complement dysregulation and predominant C3 deposition in the kidney tissue.
Working from a lead tetrahydro-beta-carboline acid product which had been found to have antimalarial properties and to act as an inhibitor of MEP, Virginia Tech and University of Georgia scientists and their collaborators synthesized related compounds.
Researchers presented data from a study that aimed to evaluate pentraxin-3 (PTX3) as a circulating marker of inflammation in patients with suspected myocarditis.
