The Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR), the University of Toronto and Sinai Health System have divulged thienyl and cycloalkyl aminopyrimidine compounds acting as NUAK family SNF1-like kinase inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer and fibrosis.
Researchers are closer to better diagnosing and treating age-related macular degeneration (AMD) after discovering new genetic signatures of the disease by reprogramming stem cells to generate high-resolution disease models.
Using a knock-in mouse model of Brugada syndrome (BrS) with an SCN5A mutation identified in multiple BrS families (Scn5aG1746R/+), a team of scientists from various research institutions evaluated the effects of upregulation of MOG1 (ran guanine nucleotide release factor, RanGNRF) via adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) vector delivery on BrS features.
