Paragon Therapeutics Inc. and Spyre Therapeutics Inc. jointly presented preclinical data for the novel extended half-life humanized anti-IL-23 monoclonal antibody (MAb), SPY-003, being developed for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Capsida Biotherapeutics Inc. presented preclinical data for a new next-generation gene supplementation therapy candidate, CAP-003, for Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients with GBA1 mutations (PD-GBA).
Researchers from Xencor Inc. presented the discovery and preclinical characterization of XmAb-942, a novel high-affinity anti-TL1A monoclonal antibody (MAb) being developed for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) recurs in most patients despite the aggressive therapies they receive. Novel advances allow the development of targeted therapies to treat tumors of the brain. Researchers from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine have applied bioinformatics plus forward thinking on microRNA biology to advance targeted therapies for GBM.
Recent decades have brought advances in pharmacological therapies for treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but their sustained efficacy is still not enough, and developing novel therapies is an unmet medical need for this condition.
In a recent presentation, researchers from the Medical University of Lodz have aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of simultaneously targeting axin and cannabinoid receptors (CBs) with KYA-1797K and WIN-55212-2 in colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines SW480 and Caco-2.
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an antibody-mediated chronic neuromuscular disorder leading to fluctuating weakness and early muscle fatigue, with limited treatment options available. In MG, such as other autoimmune diseases, the main pathogenic autoantibody involved is the immunoglobulin G (IgG) isotype.
Recent advances in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, have shown that inhibiting the interaction between the α4β7 integrin and the endothelial ligand mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule 1 (MADCAM1) has proven useful, safe and effective.
Researchers from Nitrase Therapeutics Inc. recently presented preclinical findings on NTX-101, a murine chimeric antibody designed to specifically bind to nitrated tyrosine on α-synuclein (α-Syn). It was demonstrated that NTX-101 bound both chemically and synthetically nitrated α-Syn (n-Syn), with no binding to non-nitrated α-Syn or an irrelevant nitrated protein observed.
