Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. and Biolojic Design Ltd. have announced an exclusive license agreement to develop a potential novel antibody-based therapy for the treatment of atopic dermatitis and asthma.
Scinai Immunotherapeutics Ltd. has released promising preclinical results of its innovative anti‑IL‑17 VHH antibody (NanoAb) as a local treatment for mild to moderate plaque psoriasis.
Research at Nanjing Gritpharma Co. Ltd. has led to the identification of stilbene derivatives acting as aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonists. As such, they are reported to be useful for the treatment of allergy, asthma, atherosclerosis, diabetes type 2, infections, osteoporosis, transplant rejection and graft-vs.-host disease.
Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune skin disease mediated by autoantibodies to desmoglein-3 (DSG3). Since the adult murine model of this disease is quite limited, researchers aimed to develop a novel active adult pemphigus vulgaris murine model.
Researchers from Kyverna Therapeutics Inc. have presented data on their anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy, KYV-101, for the treatment of B-cell-driven autoimmune diseases.
Nonreceptor tyrosine-protein kinase TYK2 plays key roles in the signaling of pro-inflammatory molecules such as IL-23, IL-12 or type I IFN, which at the same time play key roles in several immune-mediated diseases such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, among others.
Trex Bio Inc. has announced its selection of a new development candidate, TRB-061, designed to selectively agonize TNF receptor 2 (TNFR2), a mechanism with potential across a broad range of autoimmune indications.
Nimbus Clotho Inc. has identified CTP synthase 1 (CTPS1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of psoriasis, lichen planus, lupus nephritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome, and graft-vs.-host disease.
