A covalent compound selectively inhibits RNA demethylase ALKBH5 rather than FTO

Covalent Modifiers

2024 , DOI: 10.1039/D3CB00230F N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent mRNA modification and is required for gene regulation in eukaryotes. Moreover, TD19 displays good anticancer efficacy in acute myeloid leukemia and glioblastoma multiforme cell lines.

The Novel GlycoPEGylated FGF21 Analog Pegozafermin Activates Human FGF Receptors and Improves Metabolic and Liver Outcomes in Diabetic Monkeys and Healthy Human Volunteers [Drug Discovery and Translational Medicine]

ASPET

In cell-based assays, pegozafermin had a similar receptor engagement profile as native FGF21, with approximately 8-fold higher potency at FGF receptor 1 (FGFR1). These findings provide evidence that pegozafermin is a promising candidate molecule for the treatment of patients with NASH or SHTG.

New image-based cellular profiling tool peers deeply into metabolic biology

Broad Institute

It then extracts features from images of stained cells and creates cellular profiles, categorizing cells based on patterns (often imperceptible to the human eye) that they share with other cells, which directly inform disease biology.

Measure Cell Metabolism with Microplate Readers | BMG LABTECH

BMG Labtech

Cell metabolism and disease Metabolic perturbations and metabolic reprogramming are associated with common human diseases. In fact, metabolism should not be considered as a self-regulating entity that is independent of other biological pathways. On the contrary, cell metabolism affects or is affected by a multitude of processes.
