Changes to a U.S. CDC website regarding autism and vaccines has sparked a backlash from numerous scientific and other groups, placing HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK) in the spotlight once again for appearing to break promises made earlier this year to secure his nomination.
Vanderbilt University has divulged muscarinic M1 receptor positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) reported to be useful for the treatment of pain, Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), tardive dyskinesia, Tourette syndrome, sleep disorders and cognitive disorders, among others.
Arrepath Inc. has identified UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine hydrolase (LpxH) (bacterial) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of gram-negative bacterial infections.
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University, National Institutes of Health and University of Iowa have synthesized superstolide derivatives reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer and viral infections.
Nimbus Salacia Inc. has disclosed serine/threonine-protein kinase SIK2 (QIK) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, cancer, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis and skin hyperpigmentation, among others.
Triple-negative breast cancer, which accounts for 15-20% of all cases of breast cancer, is particularly difficult to treat. It is driven in part by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), yet EGFR inhibitors that are effective against other cancers somehow fail to be effective against triple-negative breast cancer.
Researchers from Eilean Therapeutics LLC and collaborators presented the discovery and characterization of a new, selective CDK2 inhibitor showing potent in vitro and in vivo activity at the 2025 AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics.
A disrupted balance between T-effector and T-regulatory cells, together with the activation of autoreactive or alloreactive B cells that generate pathogenic antibodies, is a defining feature of autoimmune diseases and transplant rejection and contributes to their often poor outcomes.
At the AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics, researchers from Onco3r Therapeutics BV presented a novel series of selective SMARCA2 small-molecule inhibitors with a best-in-class potency and selectivity profile.
