Sanofi SA’s brain-penetrant Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, tolebrutinib, met the primary endpoint in the phase III Hercules trial in non-relapsing secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (nrSPMS). The first compound to show reduction in disability accumulation in MS, tolebrutinib delayed the time to onset of confirmed disability progression in people with nrSPMS, a population for which there are currently no approved therapies.
Aging is part of the life cycle and, although the effects are not manifest until after adulthood, it actually occurs from birth. The concept of senescence has traditionally been associated with aging. However, an embryo has senescent cells. In that case, what is aging, how can it be measured, and from what point in the life cycle?

Since the publication of The Hallmarks of Aging in 2013, aging research has exploded. The field now has more than 300,000 articles on the biological signals of the effect of time on the body. What would Marty McFly, the legendary character from the Back to the Future saga who traveled with his DeLorean time machine from the ‘80s to the ‘50s, think if he visited 2024 and saw laboratories experimenting with techniques to turn back the biological clocks of cells or increase the lifespan of rejuvenated mice?
Mwyngil Therapeutics Inc. has synthesized compounds acting as NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of arthritis, nonalcoholic or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (NASH/MASH), osteoporosis, hypertension, inflammation, SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19), autoimmune disease and Alzheimer’s disease, among others.
G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is a crucial kinase that has been shown to interact with multiple signaling molecules under different pathological conditions, including fibrosis.
With a move into Lilly Gateway Labs in Boston’s Seaport District, privately held Tevard Biosciences Inc. is ramping up development of its transfer RNA (tRNA)-based therapies to cure everything from Dravet syndrome and other neurological conditions to cardiology indications and muscular dystrophies.

AAT-076 was tested in the preclinical setting for its analgesic potential in COX-1 and COX-2 assays, as well as in in vivo rat models of air pouch inflammation, adjuvant-induced arthritis and neuropathic pain models. The compound was selected as a candidate analgesic compound due to its effective COX-2 inhibition within the central nervous system.
