Chinese researchers have presented data on a novel six-gene prognostic risk model for breast cancer based on data from the The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.
Sanyou Biopharmaceuticals (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. has launched its Sanyou Super Trillion Peptide Molecule Discovery Platform, suitable for the R&D of peptide-based drugs targeting diseases associated with metabolism and tumors, as well as applications in medical imaging, molecular diagnostics and other fields.
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.
