Researchers from Life Edit Therapeutics Inc. recently reported preclinical data on the application of their gene editing technology Life Edit CRISPR system to Huntington’s disease (HD).
Psoriasis is a chronic, recurrent and inflammatory skin disorder associated with immune system dysregulation. The abnormal immune response led to accelerated skin cell proliferation, resulting in thick plaques and chronic inflammation. The current gold-standard treatment is injectable immunosuppression.
It was previously demonstrated that the HIV-1 integrase (IN)-interacting host factor INI1/SMARCB1 binds to HIV-1 IN through its Rpt1 domain of INI1 (INI1-Rpt1) and plays a key role in assembly and particle production.
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is among the most aggressive breast cancer subtypes, with high metastasis and recurrence rates, as well as poor survival. While various molecular targets for TNBC do exist, the low proportion of expression of these molecules in TNBC tissues limits the number of patients that benefit from molecular therapeutics.
In 2020, the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) was the first scientific conference to move from in-person to virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On the fifth anniversary of the virtual conference, and the pandemic, some of those earliest COVID-19 patients have still not recovered.
Inatherys SAS recently presented preclinical data for INA-03, an anti-transferrin receptor (TfR1/CD71) antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), being developed for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). INA-03 was constructed by conjugating an antimitotic payload (MMAE) to a humanized IgG4 anti-human CD71 antibody using a novel valine-citrulline linker.
Pathogenic variants in the GJB2 gene are the most common genetic cause of congenital sensorineural hearing loss and are mostly associated with an autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness 1A (DFNB1A).
Prostate cancer (PC), often referred to as a cold tumor, typically presents a poor immune response, making it difficult for immune-based therapies to be effective. Metastatic castration-resistant PC (mCRPC) presents a highly aggressive phenotype often refractory to systemic treatment.
At the 2025 meeting of the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. On the first full day of the conference, reports from the first HIV cure trial conducted in Africa, the RIO trial and others showed that perhaps, a broadly useful cure is on the horizon.
Researchers from Diosynvax Ltd. presented data from a study that aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a pan-H5 vaccine designed using computational biology and being developed for protection against avian influenza.
