Shanghai Leadingtac Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has divulged proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTACs) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety covalently linked to a son of sevenless homolog 1 (SOS1) targeting moiety reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, neurofibromatosis type 1, Costello syndrome, cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome and Noonan syndrome.
Kalvista Pharmaceuticals Ltd. has disclosed coagulation factor XII (FXIIa) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of hereditary angioedema and thrombotic disorder.
Even though HER3 is validated as a promising therapeutic target for cancer therapy, no HER3-targeting antibodies or antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have been approved for clinical use. Investigators at Duality Biologics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. have developed DB-1310, a new HER3-targeting ADC being studied for the treatment of solid tumors, and published findings from preclinical characterization.
Researchers from Fate Therapeutics Inc. presented preclinical data for the multiplexed-engineered, off-the-shelf chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) natural killer (NK) cell therapy, FT-522, as a potential therapeutic against autoimmune diseases.
Kate Therapeutics Inc. recently presented data on a novel muscle- and heart-targeted, liver de-targeted development candidate for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) – KT-809.
CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd.’s anti-βKlotho monoclonal antibody drug JMT-202 has received clearance from China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to enter clinical trials to lower triglyceride levels in patients with hypertriglyceridemia.
HERV-H LTR-associating protein 2 (HHLA2) is known to play immunosuppressive roles by interacting with killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor 3DL3 (KIR3DL3). The expression of HHLA2 in cancer is associated with poor patient outcomes, making it a promising therapeutic target for immunotherapy. Nextpoint Therapeutics Inc. has presented data on their monoclonal antibodies NPX-267 and NPX-887, which target KIR3DL3 and HHLA2, respectively.
A group of scientists from Harvard University have observed and reconstructed the human brain at the resolution of the electron microscope, with all its cells, following all the connections between its neurons around a cubic millimeter of a tissue sample. They took 10 years and the data occupies 1.4 petabytes (1,400 terabytes). However, they are already planning a bigger project.
