Autosomal dominant hypocalcemia (ADH) type 1 and 2 are disorders that affect calcium homeostasis caused by gain-of-function mutations in CaSR, which encodes the calcium-sensing receptor.
Researchers from Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC) and affiliated organizations presented the discovery of a novel series of compounds acting as Ebola virus (EBOV) entry inhibitors.
Investigators at Washington State University (WSU) have identified a set of eight proteins that were expressed in the serum of Ursus arctos horribilis, better known as the grizzly bear, specifically during their hibernation period. In addition to reporting new basic insights into hibernation, the study, which was published in the Sept. 21, 2022, issue of iScience, could also give clues to insulin resistance and its relationship to body fat.
A simple injection of muscle tissue could control glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Genetic modification of skeletal muscle and subsequent intramuscular implantation could increase blood sugar absorption and become an effective and long-lasting treatment for this pathology. “We took mice satellite cells and we genetically altered to overexpress GLUT4,” Hagit Shoyhet, researcher at the Levenberg lab of stem-cell and tissue engineering, Technion (Israel), said at the European Association for the study of Diabetes (EASD) 58th Annual Meeting.
LG Chem Ltd. has synthesized new melanocortin 4 (MC4) receptor agonists reported to be useful for the treatment of obesity, diabetes, erectile dysfunction and inflammatory disorders.
Aptabio Therapeutics Inc. has identified new pyrazole derivatives acting as reactive oxygen species (ROS) production inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, neurodegeneration, fibrosis, liver diseases and dermatological, eye and inflammatory disorders, among other disorders.
Oncolinx Pharmaceuticals LLC and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have presented new signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, inflammatory disorders, and bacterial and viral infections.
Research Triangle Institute (RTI International) has described new heteroaryl derivatives acting as apelin receptor (angiotensin-receptor like 1; APJ) agonists reported to be useful for the treatment of lung fibrosis.
Blossomhill Therapeutics Inc. has divulged macrocyclic compounds acting as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR: HER1; erbB1) and EGFR mutant inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
