Adult skeletal muscle tolerates a lack of the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), according to a study led by scientists at the University of Copenhagen. Their results suggest that adverse effects previously associated with congenital NAD depletion in this tissue may be due to impaired muscle development rather than to a deficiency of this molecule.
Raythera Inc. has described C-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CCR4) antagonists reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, atherosclerosis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and multiple sclerosis, among others.
Scientists at Hyperway Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. and Shenzhen Hyperway Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. have divulged GTPase KRAS (mutant) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, LEOPARD and Noonan syndromes.
Beijing Double-Crane Runchuang Technology Co. Ltd. has disclosed protein arginine N-methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), which accounts for up to 20% of cases of breast cancer, is one of the most aggressive and difficult to treat subtypes of the disease.
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.
