Eli Lilly & Co. has synthesized glucocorticoid receptor (GR) agonists reported to be useful for the treatment of atopic dermatitis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Derm-Biome Pharmaceuticals Inc. has developed a topical anticancer treatment for patients with or at high risk of developing multiple actinic keratoses.
Sitryx Therapeutics Ltd. has nominated SYX-5219 as the first candidate from its proprietary pipeline to progress to regulatory nonclinical studies to support a clinical trial authorization (CTA). SYX-5219 has the potential to address a broad range of inflammatory diseases and will advance into the clinic for the treatment of atopic dermatitis.
Wound healing is a highly specialized dynamic process for the repair of damaged/injured tissues through an intricate mechanism. Any failure in the normal wound healing process results in abnormal scar formation, and a chronic state which is more susceptible to infections. Researchers from Monash University in Australia and Osaka University in Japan have demonstrated that the removal of a specific subtype of sensory neurons containing the Nav1.8+ ion channel significantly impairs skin wound repair and muscle regeneration following injury.
Work at Escient Pharmaceuticals Inc. has led to the discovery of novel Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor member X4 (MRGPRX4) antagonists as potential therapeutic candidates for the treatment of cholestatic and uremic pruritus.
Scientists from the Australian National University have discovered the gene mutation responsible for causing psoriasis, and the findings could lead to improved diagnosis and treatment for patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease. “We were able to identify the gene that could be important in enabling this progression from a skin-only condition to a skin-and-joint condition,” lead study author Chelisa Cardinez told BioWorld.
