Ariel Scientific Innovations Ltd. has synthesized microtubule destabilizers (tubulin polymerization inhibitors) reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is still an uncurable disease. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells directed to tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17, also known as BCMA, have transformed the field, with high response rate and durable remissions, but the access to this therapy is limited by multiple factors.
The FDA has cleared Oncoc4 Inc.’s IND application for ONC-841, a potential first-in-class Siglec-10-blocking antibody for the treatment of solid tumors.
Researchers from Kirilys Therapeutics Inc. presented findings from the preclinical evaluation of KRLS-017, a novel reversible cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) inhibitor being developed for the treatment of advanced solid tumors.
Wave Life Sciences Ltd. has reported that GSK plc has selected its first two programs to advance to development candidates following achievement of target validation as part of the companies’ ongoing collaboration.
Lung cancer is still among the deadliest cancers worldwide, with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung accounting for about 30% of the cases. When the cancer metastasizes to the lymph nodes, the patient has a worse overall survival.
A computational program based on single-cell transcriptome sequencing has identified six types of senescent cells, enabling the design of more precise senolytic drugs. The success of these compounds depends on their ability to recognize senescent cellular patterns and avoid proliferating cells, differentiated cells, or quiescent (temporarily resting) cells.
Researchers from Lund University published data from a study that investigated the role of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), an extracellular matrix glycoprotein associated with the aggressiveness of several types of solid tumors, in ovarian cancer.
