Transthera Sciences (Nanjing) Inc. has announced the initiation of IND-enabling studies for TT-02332, a potent, selective and highly CNS-penetrating NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor.
Kling Biotherapeutics BV has presented preclinical data on an antibody, KBA-1413, which recognizes a specific glycoform of CD43 that is shared among acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and solid tumor cells.
Iron regulates the metabolism of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and acts as a genetic control of their fate, preserving their identity and regenerative capacity during tissue maintenance and repair. A group of scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine has described the key components of a molecular pathway that iron regulates. “What we are proposing here with this mechanism is that iron serves like a switchboard and a sensor,” senior author Britta Will told BioWorld. Will is at the Department of Oncology, the Cell Biology Department, and the Ruth and David Gottesman Institute for Stem Cell Research and Regenerative Medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
1910 Genetics Inc. has divulged non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase TYK2 (JH2 domain) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of allergy, cancer, inflammation, autoimmune disease, metabolic diseases, endocrine and neurological disorders.
Zeno Management Inc. has identified antibody-drug conjugates comprising antibodies targeting inactive tyrosine-protein kinase transmembrane receptor ROR1 (ROR1) covalently bound to exatecan derivatives through a linker.
Vandria SA has disclosed urolithin and fluorene derivatives acting as ferroptosis inhibitors and reported to be useful for the treatment of neurodegeneration and inflammatory disorders.
The standard therapy for moderate to severe cases of ulcerative colitis (UC) is treatment with infliximab, but it is estimated that about 40% of patients with UC do not respond to it. An international team of investigators set out to study the causes behind this, which are not clearly understood.
