F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. have divulged stimulator of interferon genes protein (STING; TMEM173) antagonists reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory, neurological, metabolic, cardiovascular and ocular disorders.
Etern Biopharma (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. has identified proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety coupled to an androgen receptor targeting moiety through a linker acting as androgen receptor degradation inducers reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Shanghai Allist Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. has synthesized protein arginine N-methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Suzhou Genhouse Bio Co. Ltd. has disclosed tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 11 (PTPN11; PTP-2C; SHP-2) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, Noonan syndrome and Leopard syndrome.
Navega Therapeutics Inc. has received a $4 million Translational Science grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) to support its work addressing neuropathic pain. The grant will fund the final preclinical development studies of NT-Z001 leading to an IND submission.
Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University and affiliated organizations published data from a study that aimed to assess the role of the TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), E3 ubiquitin ligase previously shown to be involved in cardiovascular diseases, in formation of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
Myocardial infarction remains one of the leading causes of mortality, which is usually complicated by the occurrence of ischemic ventricular arrhythmias, which in turn increase the risk of sudden cardiac death in patients with myocardial infarction.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a condition affecting the central nervous system characterized by both motor and sensory impairment. SCI causes lipid accumulation in the form of lipid droplets, which may contribute to the progression of other diseases.
Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of upper and lower respiratory tract diseases, such as chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), allergic rhinitis (AR), and asthma (AS). In the current study, researchers from Huazhong University of Science and Technology and affiliated organizations aimed to assess the role of the essential antioxidant enzyme, heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1), in these airway diseases.
