Antibody Therapeutics Inc. has disclosed integrin receptor antagonists reported to be useful for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, renal fibrosis and hepatic fibrosis.
Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a group of monogenic disorders caused by mutations in more than 280 genes, and are characterized by progressive degeneration of photoreceptor cells in the retina.
Researchers from Shenyang Pharmaceutical University and affiliated organizations have detailed the discovery and preclinical characterization of novel reversible lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) inhibitors as candidates for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) therapy.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is included in the World Health Organization’s Bacterial Priority Pathogen List 2024 because of its concerning ability to acquire and develop high levels of antimicrobial resistance. New-in-class antimicrobial options specifically targeting multidrug-resistant (MDR) P. aeruginosa are lacking.
Arrivent Biopharma Inc. has entered into an exclusive license agreement with Lepu Biopharma Co. Ltd. for MRG-007, an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) in development for gastrointestinal cancers.
X-linked sideroblastic anemia (XLSA) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the ALAS2 gene, which plays a critical role in heme biosynthesis within red blood cells.
Researchers from the Mayo Clinic described the efficacy of NPA-7, a potential first-in-class multivalent fusion protein comprising a sequence of 22 amino acids of human BNP fused to the Mas receptor agonist Ang 1-7.
Repair Biotechnologies Inc. has received encouraging feedback from a pre-IND meeting with the FDA as it works toward an IND filing to conduct a phase Ib study of its REP-0003 mRNA therapy in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).
A disintegrin and metalloprotease domain-like protein decysin-1 (ADAMDEC1) is a multifunctional transmembrane glycoprotein that has been shown to promote metastasis and development of various tumor types by degrading the extracellular matrix. Scientists at Nankai University and affiliated organizations aimed to assess the regulatory mechanisms of ADAMDEC1 in the highly aggressive cancer cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
The activation of the adenosine A2A receptor, which is mediated by the inhibition of adenosine A1 receptor, has been associated with depression-like behavior and anhedonia. High levels of cortisol, increased oxidative stress and antioxidant enzyme reduction are also contributors to the pathophysiology of depression.
