Tranquis Therapeutics Inc. has announced preclinical data on the antiaging effects of TQS-168, a small-molecule modulator of PGC-1alpha (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1-alpha).
The structure of a potent and selective TYK2 inhibitor, NDI-034858 (NTX-973), which was found clinically effective in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, was disclosed for the first time by researchers from Nimbus Therapeutics LLC.
Researchers have created mouse embryos entirely from stem cells in vitro that formed a brain and a beating heart and lay the foundations for all the other organs of the body.
The synthetic embryos faithfully mimic the development of their natural counterparts in utero for 8.5 days, before hitting a roadblock and becoming disorganized.
Treating mice with butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that is normally produced by beneficial gut microbes, prevented anaphylactic shock in allergic mice when they were exposed to peanuts after treatment. It also reduced inflammation in animals with colitis.

Scientists have discovered an RNA-based mechanism that is involved in core hallmarks of a number of accelerated aging conditions and shown that therapies targeting this RNA reverses some of these hallmarks in human cells and extend life spans in mouse models.
Paradigm Biopharmaceuticals Ltd. announced a AU$66 million (US$46.39 million) capital raise to fund its phase III pivotal trial for injectable Zilosul (pentosan polysulfate) to treat osteoarthritis of the knee.
The National Institute of Pharmaceutical R&D (Beijing) has described bridged heterocyclyl-substituted pyrimidine compounds acting as tyrosine-protein kinase JAK-1 and/or non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase TYK2 inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of inflammation, autoimmune disease and cancer.
Shionogi & Co. Ltd. has in-licensed Japan rights to Grunenthal GmbH’s intra-articular injectable, resiniferatoxin, for the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee. Currently in phase III trials, RTX is a transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 agonist, which can reversibly desensitize TRPV1-expressing nociceptors. This mechanism may result in long-lasting pain relief.
