The leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 15 (LRRC15) is a cell surface protein involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, with limited expression in normal tissues.
The use of mimicking antibodies that activate death receptors (DRs) to selectively induce cell death in cancer cells has shown limited clinical success so far, primarily due to suboptimal efficacy and safety concerns, particularly hepatotoxicity. Emerging strategies to enhance efficacy include the development of bispecific antibodies that simultaneously target DRs and tumor-specific antigens.
Breast cancer was the second most frequent cause of new cancer cases worldwide in 2024, and up to 20% of cases fall under the subtype of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), one of the most aggressive and difficult subtypes to treat.
The transcriptional repressor B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) plays a central role in the development and progression of various B-cell malignancies, particularly diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), where it is associated with poor prognosis and resistance to standard immunochemotherapy.
BLR Bio LLC has announced new data on BLR-200, its lead compound for systemic sclerosis and lung fibrosis. In the new study, BLR-200 demonstrated the ability to reduce key disease tissue markers for fibrotic lung disease.
