Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) is composed of several subunits, such as EZH2, EED and SUZ12, and is a regulator of cell proliferation and development. Targeting the allosteric subunit EED may be a new approach for fully inhibiting PRC2 complex activity and addressing the limitations of EZH2 inhibition.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors are useful for the treatment of solid tumors, but in many tumors, only partial response is achieved. The antitumoral efficacy of Enlivex Therapeutics Ltd.'s Allocetra-OTS, a cellular therapy, was investigated in animal models of solid tumors.
Researchers from Guangzhou Medical University (GMU) described the discovery of a novel proteasome inhibitor NIC-0102, being developed as an anti-inflammatory therapeutic candidate.
Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are by themselves not enough to set off a full innate immune response to viral infection. Instead, structural changes to the actin cytoskeleton primed the activation of RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs), a family of intracellular RNA sensors that detect many types of viral RNA. When primed RLRs then encountered viral RNA, they set off an innate immune response that led to the production of interferons.
Seecure Taiwan Co. Ltd. has disclosed compounds reported to be useful for the treatment or diagnosis of cancer, autoimmune diseases and atherosclerosis.
Medshine Discovery Inc. has described gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) antagonists reported to be useful for the treatment of prostate cancer.
Bayer AG has synthesized new furoindazole derivatives acting as G protein-coupled receptor 84 (GPR84) antagonists reported to be useful for the treatment of inflammation, metabolic disorders, autoimmune and lung diseases, among others.
Medshine Discovery Inc. has patented new sulfinylpyridine-containing nonreceptor tyrosine-protein kinase TYK2 inhibitors expected to be useful for the treatment of Crohn's disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and ulcerative colitis.
McMaster University has identified antibody-recruiting molecules (ARMs) consisting of human coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) proteins targeting domain covalently bound to an antibody-binding terminus (recruiting anti-DNP antibodies) through a linker.
