Researchers from Janssen Pharmaceutica NV reported the discovery of novel potent fluoroallylamide induced myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein Mcl-1 inhibitors for the treatment of hematologic malignancies.
GPC3 is an oncofetal antigen highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) but minimally expressed in adult normal tissues, except the placenta. Cytovia Therapeutics Inc. has presented preclinical data on CYT-303, a bispecific natural killer (NK) engager targeting NK cell-activating receptor NKp46 and GPC3 expressed in tumor cells.
Avicanna Inc. has expanded its research in the field of epilepsy through a new collaboration with the University of Toronto to explore the efficacy of Avicanna's proprietary formulations in preclinical models of epilepsy.
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a target in many cancers, but EGFR inhibitors have displayed little utility in treating glioblastoma (GBM) due to limited blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration.
Researchers from Abl Bio Inc. recently presented preclinical data for the novel asymmetrical CLL1/CD3 bispecific antibody ABL-602, being developed for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Sex differences at the cellular level could explain why men respond less well to glioblastoma (GBM) treatments, according to a study led by the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis (WUSTL). The researchers found that male and female GBM tumor cells had different metabolic needs. GBM cells from male surgical samples absorbed more glutamine and had different nutritional preferences for amino acids.
Scientists from the University of Queensland have created a new antibiotic that can neutralize various gram-positive bacteria in mice, including major threats such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). In a recent study, published in the Sept. 14, 2022, issue of Science Translational Medicine, the new compound outperformed the approved antibiotic vancomycin, and destroyed tough-to-eradicate bacterial biofilms while prompting a low rate of resistance.
Bayer AG has discovered P2X purinoceptor 3 (P2RX3) antagonists reported to be useful for the treatment of overactive bladder, chronic cough, endometriosis, cancer, heart failure, irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea, pain and sleep apnea, among others.
University of Chicago has described estrogen receptor (ER)-α antagonists reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, fibroids, uterine (myoma), hormone replacement therapy, menopause, obesity, osteoporosis and atrophic vulvovaginitis.
