Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a severe muscle disorder caused by aberrant DUX4 mRNA expression in skeletal muscle. DUX4 activates downstream target transcriptome, known as D4T, leading to myofiber loss and muscle weakness.
Virus is associated with sickness, but oncolytic virus therapies, which harness viruses to attack and kill cancer cells, may soon change the standard of treatment for cancer, including those long deemed uncurable like malignant glioma.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe and progressive disorder caused by mutations in the dystrophin (DMD) gene that lead to malfunction or absence of dystrophin. This protein stabilizes the sarcolemma and protects muscle cells during contraction.
The Japanese government is throwing full weight behind the Bioeconomy Strategy initiative to position Japan’s biopharmaceutical industry as both a key driver of economic growth and global drug discovery hub.
Centessa Pharmaceuticals plc recently detailed the discovery and preclinical characterization of a novel potent and selective orexin OX2 receptor agonist, ORX-142.
It was hypothesized that the MEK1/2 inhibitor ATR-002 could reduce inflammation and clear Staphylococcus aureus infection during cystic fibrosis, thus potentially showing a dual effect.
Khalifa University and The University of Queensland presented preclinical data for a novel acid-sensing ion channel 1 (ASIC1) inhibitor, Hi1a, evaluated in models of multiple sclerosis (MS).
