Kurome Therapeutics Inc. along with the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have patented interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK) and/or FLT3 (FLK2/STK1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune disease and inflammatory disorders.
Researchers from Egle Therapeutics SAS presented the discovery of a novel immunocytokine, EGL-001, designed to selectively target tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells (Tregs).
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have emerged as interesting targets for cancer therapy. There is growing evidence that RBPs are dysregulated in cancer, usually with abnormal expression and/or with the presence of mutations.
Context Therapeutics Inc. has received FDA clearance of its IND application for CTIM-76, a Claudin 6 (CLDN6) x CD3 T-cell engaging bispecific antibody.

The TEAD family of transcription factors are regulated by the Hippo tumor suppressor pathway and they act by binding the co-activators YAP and TAZ that drive the transcription of genes involved in cell survival, proliferation, migration, differentiation and resistance.
There is still a need for developing more potent and broadly neutralizing vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 with improved durability. At the recent ESCMID meeting, Astrazeneca plc presented a new mRNA vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 virus that encodes for self-assembling virus-like particle (VLP) antigens.
Novel HIV-1 vaccine strategies should elicit potent and broad immunity against the viral envelope (Env) glycoprotein. Particle presentation of Env has shown promise in animal studies, but has several problems that limit their clinical application.
