Fractalkine, when binding to its receptor CX3CR1, modulates leukocyte adhesion and acts as a chemotactic agent. The expression of cardiac CX3CR1/fractalkine is elevated in patients with heart failure and CX3CR1 antagonists may improve the cardiac function by modulation of this axis.
Foresight Therapeutics (Hefei) Co. Ltd. has described Werner syndrome ATP-dependent helicase (WRN; RECQ3; RECQL2) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Hinova Pharmaceuticals Inc. has divulged glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists reported to be useful for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, obesity, hepatic steatosis and polycystic ovary syndrome.
Genescience Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. has identified camptothecin derivatives acting as DNA topoisomerase I inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. has synthesized proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety covalently linked to a eukaryotic peptide chain release factor GTP-binding subunit ERF3A (GSPT1) targeting moiety via a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Ensem Therapeutics Inc. has disclosed phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase α (PI3Kα) inhibitors, particularly PI3Kα mutant inhibitors, reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Hypoxia is a common event in the microenvironment of solid tumors, triggering some changes in gene expression profiles to adapt to low-oxygen levels. Increasing evidence exists regarding hypoxia and mitochondrial dysfunction to play a role in the progression of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Aging is marked by a gradual decline in body function, partly driven by the buildup of senescent cells. These cells stop dividing but release a mix of inflammatory and tissue-remodeling factors, known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP).
Lineage Cell Therapeutics Inc. has entered into a research collaboration with William Demant Invest A/S to develop Lineage’s auditory neuronal cell transplant Resonance (ANP-1) for hearing loss.
Pfizer Inc. provided details on the discovery and in vitro/in vivo characteristics of SIK inhibitor PF-07899895 for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Pfizer’s program focused on pan-SIK inhibition to regulate cytokine production in immune cells based on the hypothesis that this approach could suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines and promote an anti-inflammatory phenotype.
