In the 1970s, scientists from several countries proposed to reconstruct, one by one, all the neurons in the brain as they appear under an electron microscope. They started with a small worm. Caenorhabditis elegans has only 302 neurons. It took 16 years. How much time would be required to repeat this arduous task for the 100 billion neurons in the human brain?
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC has divulged NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of atherosclerosis, nonalcoholic or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (NASH/MASH), neuroinflammation, inflammatory skin, inflammatory joint and autoimmune disease, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, among others.
Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corp. has identified serine/threonine-protein salt-inducible kinases (SIK) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis, lupus nephritis, osteoarthritis, pancreatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren’s syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus and ulcerative colitis, among others.
Sudo Biosciences Ltd. has synthesized non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase TYK2 (JH2 domain) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus and more.
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Inc. has disclosed dual specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1A (DYRK1A) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune disease and more.
Bio-path Holdings Inc. has conducted preclinical studies of BP-1001-A, a drug product modification of prexigebersen, confirming its effectiveness in affecting insulin signaling for the potential treatment of obesity and related metabolic diseases in type 2 diabetes patients.
Iomx Therapeutics AG has submitted a clinical trial application (CTA) for IOMX‑0675, a dual‑targeting, fully human antibody designed to address the key immune-regulatory LILR receptor family expressed on myeloid and lymphoid immune cells.
Deepcure Inc. has discovered potent, selective oral small-molecule inhibitors of STAT6. These next-generation STAT6 inhibitors have demonstrated promising oral bioavailability, cell permeability and metabolic stability, and do not target STAT6 for degradation.
