Henan Medinno Pharmaceutical Technology Co. Ltd. has identified deuterated non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase TYK2 and tyrosine-protein kinase JAK1, JAK2 and JAK3 inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of allergy, asthma, cancer, dermatological disorders, diabetes, eye disorders, neurodegeneration and transplant rejection, among others.
Cancer Targeted Technology LLC has disclosed conjugates comprising a glutamate carboxypeptidase 2 (FOLH1; NAALAD1; PSMA) targeting ligand covalently linked to a therapeutic or diagnostic agent through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of prostate cancer.
Cholangiocarcinoma includes several biliary malignant tumors that have poor prognosis. Post-translational modifications in proteins lead to abnormal protein dynamics and disturbances that may cause pathology.
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine skin cancer with a high mortality rate and characterized by frequent local recurrences and metastases. To identify compounds that could be repurposed to treat MCC, National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers performed a high-throughput cell viability screen of 3,908 small molecules.
Lysine demethylase 6A (KDM6A) is a demethylase that plays a key role at regulating developmental gene expression signatures in several tissues, including neuronal cells. The KDM6A gene is located in chromosome X and pathogenic variants in this gene are tied to Kabuki syndrome type 2. Even though progress in understanding the functions of KDM6A has been made, its role in cochlear development and auditory function remains poorly understood.
Researchers from Vicero Inc. have developed a Vincobody platform, which allows for design of novel proprietary VHH antibody fragments that possess the efficacy of dual checkpoint blockade while mitigating the toxicity limitations of current monoclonal antibody therapies.
Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) is involved in transcriptional regulation, phosphorylation and the inhibition of tumor suppressor genes. Its upregulation in several types of tumors, such as colorectal, prostate, breast and ovarian cancers, among others, makes it a potential therapeutic target in cancer.
Previous research has demonstrated that activin receptor-like kinase 7 (ALK7) signaling suppresses lipolysis, resulting in increased adipocyte size and lipid content. Additionally, predicted loss of function variants in the ALK7 gene (ACVR1C) have been associated with reduced waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) adjusted for body mass index, protection from type 2 diabetes, as well as reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.
