[Dalton Transactions] Based on the pharmacological importance of diosgenin, the obtained derivatives were exposed to study their effect on breast cancer cells where they significantly reduced the growth of cancer cells and left non-malignant breast epithelial cells unaffected.
[Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research] The authors evaluated if kinases could be new targets for the treatment of luminal primary and metastatic breast cancers.
[ACS Applied Bio Materials] Scientists described the use of two chemical modifications, incorporating a neuropilin receptor agonist peptide and a hypoxia-responsive lipid for targeting and release of an encapsulated drug from bovine milk exosomes toTNBC cells.
[Oncogenesis] The authors investigated the correlation between different “omics” datasets and to define the new important key pathway and upstream regulators in breast cancer.
[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.
