LW-231, under development by Shanghai Longwood Biopharmaceuticals Co. Ltd., is a novel bifunctional molecule designed to simultaneously modulate hepatitis B virus (HBV) capsid assembly and activate cGAS-STING pathway. Preclinical data were recently presented.
KSQ Therapeutics Inc., in collaboration with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and the Cell Therapy Manufacturing Center (CTMC), have announced FDA clearance of an IND application for a phase I/II study of KSQ-001EX, KSQ’s lead engineered tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (eTIL) program.
CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd.’s SYH-2053 injection has obtained clearance from China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to enter clinical trials in China.
Researchers from Shandong Provincial Hospital have published details on the discovery and preclinical characterization of a novel potent microtubule polymerization inhibitor for the treatment of cancer.
Aberrant NLRP3 inflammasome activation is at the root of a wide number of conditions, from heart, gastrointestinal, kidney or liver disorders to neuroinflammatory diseases such as Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis. Researchers from Nodthera Ltd. have reported on NT-0796, an NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor with an in vivo brain penetration profile.
Inmed Pharmaceuticals Inc. has identified a lead cannabinol (CBN) analogue candidate, INM-089, to advance into additional in vivo studies for age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Pasithea Therapeutics Corp. has received written responses from the FDA to questions submitted for a type 2 pre-IND meeting regarding the clinical development plan for PAS-004 (CIP-137401).
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the development of several diseases, which makes them promising for investigation. A recent study conducted by Soochow University investigators focused on a circRNA, circTENM3 (hsa_circ_0071478), which is derived from the TENM3 gene and may aid in the diagnosis of prostate cancer, as well as serve a therapeutic target.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in modulating neuronal stress responses, but their impact on neuroprotection has been poorly studied. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common inflammatory disease affecting the central nervous system. Researchers have recently attempted to identify potential miRNAs that play a protective role in neuroinflammation.
