T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive form of leukemia that accounts for around 25% of ALL cases. In recent years, novel strategies have emerged to reduce the dependence on intensive chemotherapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, but there is still a need for new options with better efficacy in this setting.
The identification of novel immunotherapeutic targets for the treatment of biliary tract cancer (BTC) is still a need. It has been reported that galectin-9 (GAL-9) is expressed in BTC and induces immunosuppressive effects, such as inducing apoptosis in T cells when binding to its receptor TIM-3.
Researchers from Nextcure Inc. have reported the development and preclinical characterization of a novel agonist monoclonal antibody (MAb) against V-set and transmembrane domain containing 1 (VSTM-1).
Promis Neurosciences Inc. has selected a lead vaccine candidate, PMN-400, against synucleinopathies, including multiple system atrophy, Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia.
Researchers from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have reported the discovery of SJ-3149, a novel selective CK1α degrader being developed for the treatment of cancer.
The COVID-19 virus may keep mutating, but new findings from Korean researchers at the Institute of Basic Science (IBS) offer a silver lining: human immunity is adapting, too.
Researchers at F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. have described imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine and pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives acting as serine/threonine-protein kinase SIK inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), primary sclerosing cholangitis, inflammatory bowel disease, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes and glomerulonephritis, among others.
Chiesi Farmaceutici SpA has divulged TGF-β receptor type-1 (TGFBR1; ALK5; SKR4; TβR-I) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
