Researchers from the U.K. have analyzed whole-genome sequencing data from 7,276 cases and 236,741 controls in the UK Biobank to perform gene-level and a variant-level exome-wide association study analysis to identify variants related to retinal detachment.
Telix Pharmaceuticals Ltd. is expanding its theranostic pipeline with new assets targeting fibroblast activation protein (FAP). The company has entered into asset purchase and exclusive worldwide in-license agreements for a suite of clinically validated FAP-targeting therapeutic and precision medicine (diagnostic) radiopharmaceutical candidates developed at Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz.
Siren Biotechnology Inc. has unveiled its lead asset, SRN-101, for the treatment of high-grade gliomas. The FDA has granted orphan drug and rare pediatric disease designations to SRN-101 for high-grade gliomas and pediatric-type diffuse high-grade gliomas, respectively.
The bromodomain and extra terminal domain (BET) family of proteins, including BRD4, regulates the transcription of multiple proinflammatory and immunoregulatory genes. BRD4 is involved in immune-related disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Targeted protein degradation has gained attention in recent years due to its potential to hit proteins that are difficult to engage with conventional small molecules. Pin1 is an enzyme associated with tumor formation overexpressed in pancreatic cancer cells or cancer-associated fibroblasts in particular.
As China rises to second place, next only to the U.S., for innovative new drugs, a new report by Clarivate – A Decade of Innovation, A Decade to Come – outlines key policy reforms and regulatory, R&D and investment trends driving past and future growth of Chinese biopharmaceuticals.
F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. have patented oxazolo[4,5-B]pyrazine and oxazolo[4,5-B]pyridine derivatives acting as NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitors and reported to be useful for the treatment of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cardiovascular disorders.
