Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic lung disease characterized by the replacement of normal lung tissue by scar tissue, resulting in worsening lung function and impaired gas exchange. Autotaxin (ATX), the enzyme that produces the lipid mediator lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), is upregulated in lung fibrotic tissue.
Kexing Biopharm Co. Ltd. has outlined progress in its cachexia and autoimmune pipelines, built upon its Kx-Body antibody technology platform and Kx-Fusion fusion protein technology platform.
Ymmunobio AG, in collaboration with the Paul Scherrer Institute, has received an Innosuisse grant to develop innovative radioactive loaded antibodies for the treatment and diagnosis of solid tumors based on Ymmunobio’s proprietary YB-800.
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy of the secretory glands with a high tendency to invade adjacent tissue and spread to the lung, bone or liver. No treatments other than surgery or radiotherapy are available, so new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed.
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have linked pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a progressive disease characterized by blood vessel remodeling, with lysosomal dysfunction and sterol metabolism. They reported their results on Jan. 23, 2025, in Science.
