[Experimental Cell Research] Scientists summarize current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying muscle degeneration and discusses emerging therapeutic strategies that hold promise for effective muscle regeneration.
[The University of Edinburgh] Researchers at the University of Edinburgh’s Institute of Genetics and Cancer are launching a £1.5 million Cancer Research UK-funded study to find a way to ‘trick’ bowel cancer cells.
[iScience] Using colorectal cancer cell lines, organoids, and xenograft models, investigators showed that Cya-Gly-Fer (CGF) significantly inhibits tumor growth and metastasis.
[Oncogene] The authors used the azoxymethane/dextran sulfate sodium model to induce colorectal cancer and investigate the role of carbohydrate response element-binding proteinin colorectal carcinogenesis in vivo.
[Asahi Kasei] Asahi Kasei announced the initiation of a Phase I clinical trial for AK1940, a novel peptide-based investigational compound developed to address significant unmet medical needs in patients with autoimmune diseases.
[Genentech] Genentech announced that the US FDA has accepted the company’s supplemental Biologics License Application for Gazyva® for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus.
[Nature Communications] In this multicenter, double-blind, Phase IIb trial, 152 patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus were randomized to receive subcutaneous interleukin 2 or placebo every other day for 12 weeks, then weekly for another 12 weeks. Low-dose-IL2 drove the expansion of Tregs and altered Treg/effector T cell ratios.
