SA-012 is an N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) conjugated silencing RNA (siRNA) that targets the mRNA of the PD-L1 gene and is being developed by Suzhou Siran Biotechnology Co. Ltd. for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
It is known that >70% of the genes involved in pathogenic hearing loss are involved in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL), which accounts for 1 case for every 166 individuals in Iran due to the high rate of consanguineous marriage in the country.
Researchers from Alteogen Inc. and affiliated organizations presented preclinical characterization of a novel long-acting growth hormone receptor (GHR) antagonist, ALT-B5.
Abtis Co. Ltd., Dong-A ST’s newly incorporated subsidiary since December 2023, is making headway with its leading Claudin18.2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) candidate, AT-211, according to Abtis CEO Taedong Han. “About 80% of gastric cancers do not have HER2 overexpression, but 77% overexpressed Claudin18.2,” Han told Bio Korea 2024 audience members on May 9, stressing that AT-211 was found to be highly potent against cancer cells expressing Claudin18.2 in ADC cell viability studies.
Genetic variants in core-spliceosome components are tied to a variety of aberrant splicing-driven inherited disorders. CWF19-like protein 2 (CWF19L2) is such a key component located in the spliceosome complex in charge of maturing pre-RNA. No disease-phenotype has been established for CWF19L2.
Calidi Biotherapeutics Inc. has conducted studies in animals to determine the safety and efficacy of oncolytic virotherapy (OV) with CLD-201 (Supernova-1) to treat solid tumors.
Scientists at de Duve Institute focused on the genetic causes of vascular anomalies, more specifically on capillary malformation with dilated veins (CMDV).
Researchers from Charité University Hospital Berlin and affiliated organizations presented data from a study that linked variants in ANO4 to different types of epilepsy.
Previous studies have found that the effectiveness of vaccines can be increased with the knockdown of HBsAg using a small interfering RNA (siRNA). The efficacy of a bivalent mRNA vaccine in combination with the siRNA AD-66810, which targets the X gene expression in the hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome, was tested in a murine model of AAV/HBV by scientists from Clearb Therapeutics Inc.
Chengdu Easton Biopharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. recently presented findings that highlight the potential anticancer agent D0112-005 as a potent and selective poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) inhibitor with excellent antitumor efficacy and a good safety profile in vivo.
