Ensho Therapeutics Inc. launched in July after licensing a pipeline of four oral α4β7 inhibitors for inflammatory and gastrointestinal disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), from EA Pharma Co. Ltd. “Millions of people worldwide are living with IBD,” Ensho founder, president and executive chair Neena Bitritto-Garg recently told BioWorld, “and while there are a number of approved medications to address the symptoms of IBD, it remains a difficult-to-treat disease with high relapse rates for a considerable proportion of patients.”
Another failure with allosteric tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitor VTX-958 put an end to internal work with the compound, and shares of Ventyx Biosciences Inc. (NASDAQ:VTYX) fell July 29 to $2.24, down 71 cents or 24%, after the firm disclosed results from the phase II, 109-subject trial in moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease (CD).

Increased life expectancy also comes with age-related diseases. But what causes one to age? Although there is no single answer, scientists at Duke-National University of Singapore have shown in mice that interleukin-11 (IL-11) promoted aging. Blocking it improved health and lifespan.

Age-related inflammation, also known as inflammaging, refers to low-grade chronic damage caused by increased inflammation linked to immunosenescence with impact at molecular, cellular and tissue levels. Aging amplifies the inflammatory response and increases neutrophil, monocyte and leukocyte trafficking in models of inflammation.
