Mindrank AI Co. Ltd. and Mindrank Therapeutics (Suzhou) New Drug Research & Development Co. Ltd. have identified molecular glue degraders comprising cereblon (CRBN) ligands acting as eukaryotic peptide chain release factor GTP-binding subunit ERF3A (GSPT1) degradation inducers reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Pharmaengine Inc. and Sentinel Oncology Ltd. have synthesized Wee1-like protein kinase (Wee1) inhibitors and proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Hanyang University and Korea Institute of Science and Technology have disclosed HER2 (erbB2) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Early dysfunction of the endothelial/blood-brain barrier (BBB) is involved in the pathogenesis of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), which is a contributor to about 50% of dementias. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a sphingolipid that regulates the BBB integrity when bound to its receptor S1P1 on endothelial cells.
Cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) are crucial cell cycle regulators and have become significant targets in breast cancer therapy. Current CDK4/6 inhibitors, while effective, often come with adverse effects and resistance issues.
Leukemic stem cells (LSCs) and stemness signatures contribute to minimal residual disease in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which is associated with an increased risk of relapse. The presence of LSCs predicts treatment success and, therefore, eliminating LSCs has been proposed as a promising strategy to avoid relapses.
The development of an effective HIV vaccine remains an urgent public health need due to the high genetic variability and rapid mutation rates of the virus, which limit the generation of broadly neutralizing antibodies.
Tumor immune evasion mechanisms could be reversed by activating intracellular antiviral immune responses. It has been reported that the use of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitors combined with poly(ADP ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors activated stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway in a process named pathogen mimicry response.
Cure Rare Disease has been awarded a $5.69 million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) to advance the development of an antisense oligonucleotide therapy for spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3).
