Researchers at Monash University in Melbourne have discovered that transcription factors Ikaros and Aiolos work by binding to AP-1 transcriptional complexes and driving their transcription, which regulates thousands of genes in the human body. Read More
It is largely known that the expression of programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) contributes to immune evasion by cancer cells, thus avoiding the cytotoxic effect exerted by T cells. Therefore, it is important to understand the mechanisms regulating PD-L1 levels. Read More
Fractyl Health Inc. has nominated RJVA-001 as the first clinical type 2 diabetes candidate from its Rejuva gene therapy platform, which is designed to deliver locally administered genetic medicines to the pancreas. Read More
Kriya Therapeutics Inc. has announced its gene therapy program for thyroid eye disease (TED), KRIYA-586. It is designed to be a one-time, adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy that drives durable expression of a monoclonal antibody blocking the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R).
