University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis has described estrogen-related receptor α (ERR) modulators reported to be useful for the treatment of diabetes, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, heart failure, breast cancer, renal disorders, metabolic diseases, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, among others.
Monte Rosa Therapeutics Inc. has divulged molecular glues as cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) degradation inducers reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer and amyloidosis.
Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (MFMER) and University of Florida have identified atrial natriuretic peptide B (NPR2; guanylate cyclase B) receptor positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) reported to be useful for the treatment of fibrosis.
University of Michigan has disclosed prodrugs of stimulator of interferon genes protein (STING; TMEM173) agonists reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune disease, inflammatory disorder and infections.
Cell division cycle 20 homolog (CDC20) is a key regulatory protein involved in mitotic progression. Aberrant overexpression of CDC20 has been implicated in tumorigenesis and is associated with poor prognosis in several cancers, including triple-negative breast cancer.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a fatal cancer and the third cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Current therapies have focused on CAR T cells for treating HCC. Glypican-3 (GPC3) is a membrane protein that is overexpressed in HCC but not in healthy adult liver tissue, thus becoming a promising therapeutic target for HCC management.
Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare cancer that arises from the intrahepatic biliary epithelium or extrahepatic bile ducts. Apart from genetic mutations, epigenetic changes are also contributing to cancer development, making DNA methylation and histone modification focus for cancer research.
To overcome the current limitations of antitumor immunotherapy, in situ vaccine platforms based on intelligent microbes are gaining increased attention due to their ability to sustainably deliver drugs locally without causing severe systemic risks.
Rhinovirus (RV) infection is among the most common respiratory infections causing exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma. The high antigenic diversity of RV is a barrier to the development of effective cross-protective vaccines for RV infection.
