Implanted patches of iPS cell-derived heart muscle integrated with heart tissue in a primate model of heart failure, and in patients being treated in a clinical trial, marks progress toward a potential option for patients with advanced heart failure.
Pyrimidine compounds acting as ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 1 (USP1) inhibitors and reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer have been disclosed in a recent Asieris Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. patent.
Work at Sichuan Kelun-Biotech Biopharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has led to the identification of heteroaromatic ring compounds acting as membrane-associated tyrosine-and threonine-specific Cdc2-inhibitory kinase (PKMYT1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Recent Engrail Therapeutics Inc. patents describe new deuterated nemonapride analogues potentially useful for the treatment of depression and schizophrenia.
Novartis AG has synthesized new sodium channel protein type 5 subunit alpha (SCN5A; Nav1.5) blockers reported to be useful for the treatment of heart failure, long QT syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, angina pectoris, myotonia, ventricular tachycardia, atrial and ventricular fibrillation, among others.
Tyligand Bioscience Ltd. has prepared and tested tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 11 (PTPN11; PTP-2C; SHP-2) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
KRAS G12C mutations, present in approximately 13% of lung adenocarcinoma cases, are associated with limited responses to current KRAS G12C inhibitor treatments such as adagrasib and sotorasib, with overall response rates ranging between 34% and 43%.
Intercellular communication between tumor cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) plays a key role in tumorigenesis and progression, and CAFs generate an extracellular matrix that provides a repository for factors that promote cancer progression. Alpha Beta Therapeutics Inc. researchers aimed to investigate the mechanisms by which CAFs facilitate tumor initiation and tumorigenesis of pancreatic cancer.
Myocardial fibrosis is a key process for heart failure development that may lead to severe phenotypes, including cardiac arrest or sudden death. Vasorin (VASN) is a protein with high expression in the cardiovascular system and its upregulation had been found to protect smooth muscle cells from calcification.
It was hypothesized that the crosstalk between Toll-like receptors, especially Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and serotonergic machinery during inflammation may be an important factor for understanding the neuroimmune mechanisms participating in inflammatory bowel disease pathogenesis.
