A Beijing Danatlas Pharmaceutical Technology Co. Ltd. patent describes tricyclic heterocyclic derivatives acting as membrane-associated tyrosine- and threonine-specific Cdc2-inhibitory kinase (PKMYT1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Enanta Pharmaceuticals Inc. has disclosed new fused heterobicyclic derivatives reported to be useful for the treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis D virus (HDV) infections.
Previous research found that p62 is the key autophagy adapter protein and a hub of multicellular signaling involved in different physiological and pathological processes.
Autophagy of cancer cells has been frequently observed during radiotherapy. In addition, pancreatic cancer-associated fibroblasts can compromise the radiotherapeutic effect by promoting the autophagy of the irradiated pancreatic cancer cells.
Satellos Bioscience Inc. recently presented preclinical data for the novel oral small-molecule AP2-associated protein kinase 1 (AAK1) inhibitor SAT-3247, being developed for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and other muscle degenerative diseases, at the Muscular Dystrophy Association conference.
Researchers from Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College presented preclinical data for the new pan-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonist, E-17241, being developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Since microglia play a critical role in resolving amyloid pathology and it has been previously demonstrated that microglia function can be induced by TREM2 activation, TREM2 agonism has been considered a promising novel therapeutic approach to delay or prevent the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
Solid Biosciences Inc. has announced a nonexclusive worldwide license and collaboration agreement with Armatus Bio Inc. for the use of Solid’s proprietary capsid AAV-SLB101 for the development and commercialization of Armatus’ vectorized RNAi candidate to treat facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD).
