New chimpanzee-human chimeric monoclonal antibodies were developed, which specifically bind to Norovirus and have therapeutic and immunoprophylactic potential.
Since the days of Watson, Crick, and Franklin, DNA has hogged the limelight, overshadowing RNA. Recently, however, RNA has claimed center stage as a multi-talented player, dialing gene expression up or down and even altering the genome through gene editing
The HPS-1 proMastocyte (HPM) cell line, containing an HPS-1 mutation, is the first mast cell line shown to constitutively release fibrotic proteins. This cell line serves as a model to study early mast cell development or fibrosis, or as a tool to screen therapeutic compounds for pulmonary fibrosis.
Scientists at NIAID have developed a method of treating or preventing atopic dermatitis via the topical application of selected probiotic strains of gram-negative Roseomonas mucosa bacteria.
Cognition Therapeutics, Inc. has a first-in-class, clinical-stage, highly brain-penetrant and orally bioavailable small molecule designed to halt the initiation and progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
MeiraGTx is opening new frontiers in gene therapy by pioneering next-generation gene-regulation platforms to transform the application of gene therapy.
Over 80% of those who contract hepatitis B virus (HBV) recover from the disease, but some 350 million people worldwide are not able to control the virus and develop chronic infection that can seriously damage the liver — over 750,000 people die from complications every year.
The clinical-stage biotechnology company has pioneered the development of 3D spherical nucleic acids to treat a broad range of inflammatory disorders affecting multiple organs in the body.
Building on success in the oncology field, Astex Pharmaceuticals is applying its fragment based drug discovery (FBDD) platform to new neurodegenerative disease targets.
By overcoming formulation challenges and applying its controlled-release delivery systems, Intellipharmaceutics is creating new options for pain therapies.
The potential of gene silencing via RNAi has long been recognized, and innovations in the delivery of RNAi therapeutics by Dicerna Pharmaceuticals have enabled potent, long-acting gene silencing with a single subcutaneous injection for liver-associated diseases.
BioPact’s MGMR (Medical Grade Molecular Rebar) offers a safe and scalable nanoparticle platform for controlled and targeted delivery of a wide range of therapeutics.
SpineThera is developing a sustained-release injectable drug for back pain with the aims of improving safety and reducing the need for repeated epidural injections of corticosteroids.
Voyager Therapeutics is developing potentially life-changing gene therapies to treat advanced Parkinson’s disease and other serious neurological disorders with a significant unmet medical need.
Cambridge, UK – 20 September 2016 – F-star, a biopharmaceutical company developing novel bispecific antibodies with a focus on immuno-oncology, announces it is to present preclinical data on its lead bispecific programme FS118 at the upcoming American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) conferences.
With its unique Humabody technology platform, Crescendo Biologics is poised to become a significant player in the rapidly progressing immuno-oncology field.
