Shanghai Sinotau Biotech Co. Ltd. has synthesized tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 13 (PTPN13; FAP-1; PTP-1E) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, inflammation, atherosclerosis, fibrosis and keloid.
Blacksmith Medicines Inc. has disclosed glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase-like protein (QPCTL; IsoQC) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, atherosclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease, among others.
Nona Biosciences, a wholly owned subsidiary of HBM Holdings Ltd., has entered into a strategic collaboration with Genequantum Healthcare (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. to advance the early discovery of next-generation bioconjugates.
Alone or combined with chemotherapy, radiation therapy (RT) is the standard therapeutic option for the majority of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases. Unfortunately, the proportion of patients that experience local-regional relapse can reach 50% of cases. Data from previous investigations link KRAS mutations to radioresistance.
Ethris GmbH and Heqet Therapeutics srl, a company spun out last year from King’s College London, have entered into a collaboration agreement to harness the potential of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) for heart tissue regeneration following acute myocardial infarction and in heart failure.
Researchers from Tscan Therapeutics Inc. presented preclinical data for TSC-200-A0201, a naturally occurring HPV16 E7-specific T-cell receptor (TCR) T-cell therapy discovered using Tscan’s proprietary Receptorscan platform. It is being developed for the treatment of human papillomavirus 16 (HPV16)-positive solid tumors. The therapeutic TCR in TSC-200-A0201 was introduced into a transposon vector, with the resulting TCR T therapy product being a mixture of cytotoxic and helper T cells, both reprogrammed to recognize HPV16+ HLA-A*02:01+ cells.
Takara Bio Inc. has announced the development of a novel adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector, Sonuaav, which exhibits high gene transfer efficiency into inner ear tissues, with a collaborator at Juntendo University School of Medicine.
Researchers from Wake Forest University, Charles University and affiliated organizations have found a link between mutations in the APOA4 gene and inherited kidney disease.
