The knockout of Col4a3 in mice is used as a model of Alport syndrome. Knockout mice develop glomerular disease associated with neutral lipid accumulation in the kidney and progressive renal failure, which can be treated with lipid-lowering agents.
Sandboxaq has received a $25 million research grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (MJFF) LRRK2 Investigative Therapeutics Exchange (LITE) program to advance drug candidates for Parkinson's disease (PD).
One of the challenges associated with COVID-19 has been an increase of secondary infections, including fungal infections. These coinfections can hinder treatment efficacy and increase illness severity.
The histone acetyltransferase KAT2A, and its paralog KAT2B have been identified as key drivers of tumor cell plasticity in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Researchers from Auron Therapeutics Inc. aimed to evaluate the novel KAT2A/B heterobifunctional protein degrader, AUTX-703, in models of SCLC.
Researchers from Purdue University and Eradivir Inc. presented a newly developed bispecific small molecule (zanDR) that bound and inhibited influenza neuraminidase on both free virus and virus-infected cells and also recruited the immune system. zanDR recruited naturally occurring anti-rhamnose and anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) antibodies with rhamnose and DNP haptens.
Dartmouth College has divulged fatty acid mimetics acting as free fatty acid FFA1 receptor (GPR40) and/or FFA4 receptor (GPR120) agonists reported to be useful for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Scientists at Centre Hospitalier Regional Universitaire de Lille, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Institut National De La Santé et de la Recherche Médicale, Institut Pasteur de Lille and Université de Lille have patented conjugates comprising siderophore moieties covalently linked to cargo moieties through a linker reported to be useful for the diagnosis and treatment of bacterial infections.
National Institutes of Pharmaceutical R&D Co. Ltd. has synthesized fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
