Ligustrazine improves the compensative effect of Akt survival signaling to protect liver Kupffer cells in trauma?hemorrhagic shock rats

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

We hypothesized that ligustrazine could protect liver by decreasing the inflammation response, protein production, and apoptosis in THS rats. The protein expressions were detected via western blot. Ligustrazine at doses of 100 and 1000 μg/mL was administrated in Kupffer cells isolated from THS rats.

Proteogenomics reveals markers of chemotherapy resistance and outcome in triple negative breast cancer

Broad Institute

Louis have identified biological markers in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) that are associated with resistance to chemotherapy treatment. It is imperative that we develop approaches to predict response so that only effective treatments are given. 33, was associated with resistance to chemotherapy treatment.

The future outlook for mRNA therapies

Drug Discovery World

The biggest growth driver for mRNA therapeutics came from the Covid-19 pandemic, when mRNA-based vaccines proved effective in treating SARS-CoV-2, and pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna were successful in bringing these treatments to market. The mice given the treatment survived for over three months.

Stoke Therapeutics Announces Presentations Related to the Company’s Work to Advance STK-001, the First Potential New Medicine to Target the Underlying Cause of Dravet Syndrome at the American Epilepsy Society (AES) 2020 Annual Meeting

The Pharma Data

New preclinical data provide additional evidence of the potential for TANGO antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to provide a gene-specific, disease-modifying treatment for Dravet syndrome. In this study, treatment with a TANGO ASO restored Dravet syndrome mouse PV interneuron firing frequency to that of wild-type mice. Lori Isom, Ph.D.,
