Did you know that Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in individuals over 60? Starting as Dry AMD, this condition quietly progresses, with 10-15% of cases advancing to the Wet AMD, leading to sudden, significant vision loss. At Cirrus Therapeutics, we're tackling AMD head-on. Our cofounders, Dr. Ying Kai Chan and Dr. Andrew Dick, have pioneered a novel, first-in-class treatment focusing on Dry AMD—where it all begins. Our breakthrough involves enhancing the IRAK-M protein directly in retinal cells, offering a robust defense against degeneration. By addressing multiple degenerative pathways simultaneously, our approach doesn't just aim to treat AMD—it's designed to change the narrative on aging and vision health. Join us on our journey from groundbreaking science in the lab to life-changing impacts in clinics worldwide. Follow Cirrus Therapeutics for the latest updates on our path to translation and our mission to preserve vision for millions globally. #vision #AMD #DryAMD #WetAMD #optometry #ophthalmology #healthcare #innovation #science #research #termeerfellow #biotech #STEM

MedChemAdvent 21. ?????????????????????? (18??) (brand name Flyrcado) Flurpiridaz is a cyclotron-produced radioactive diagnostic agent for use with positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) to evaluate for myocardial ischemia and infarction. It is a first-of-its-kind imaging tracer for PET scans that helps assess the perfusion of heart muscle cells and gives a clearer picture of blocked arteries in the heart and any damage to cardiac tissue. Flurpiridaz was discovered by Lantheus (formerly known as Bristol-Myers Squibb Medical Imaging) and GE HealthCare did further development. The compound is a Mitochondrial Complex I (MC-I) inhibitor. It demonstrates?rapid uptake by cardiomyocytes with high first-pass extraction fraction by the heart and slow washout due to high specificity for and potent binding to MC-1. During the discovery of various pyridazinone analogs,?a structure-activity relationship (SAR) assessment indicated a preference for the fluorine label to be incorporated on an alkyl side chain rather than directly on the heterocyclic moiety. See the paper on Flurpiridaz discovery here: https://lnkd.in/e2JVeggu ???? ?????????? ???????? ???????? ???? 2024 ???????????? ????????????, ???? ?????????? ???????? ???? ???????????? ???????? ???????? ?????????????????? ???????? ???????? ???????? ???????????????? ???? ?????? ?????? ???? 2024. ???????? ?????? ?????????? ?????????????????? ???? ?????????????????? ?????? ???? ???????? ???? ?????? ??????????????????????????. ??????????! #MedChemAdvent #DrugDiscovery #MedicinalChemistry #FDA #Flurpiridaz #PET #Fluorine

New article is online ?? ???? "Inositol Restores Appropriate Steroidogenesis in PCOS Ovaries Both in Vitro and in Vivo Experimental Mouse Models". In this paper we demonstrated how "myo-Inositol exerts priceless regulatory activities upon ovary steroidogenesis and has been shown to efficiently rescue PCOS features by upregulating Cyp19a1 (aromatase) and Fshr levels while downregulating androgen excesses produced from Theca cells". Thanks to Mariano Bizzarri, Vittorio Unfer MD, Valeria Fedeli, Noemi Monti, Antonio Simone Laganà, Rita Canipari, Alessandro Querqui and @MDPIOpenAccess for this fruitful collaboration!

Reversing the surface charge of exosomes to improve their drug delivery potential: in their latest study, Ambika Goel Bajpayee at Northeastern University and collaborators engineered charge-reversed cationic exosomes for mRNA delivery by incorporating cartilage-targeting arginine-rich cationic motifs into the exosome bilayer, utilizing buffer pH as a switch to reverse the charge https://lnkd.in/egfAjVu4 Positively charged exosomes penetrated the full thickness of early-stage arthritic human cartilage by forming weak and reversible bonds with glycosaminoglycans , enabling efficient delivery of encapsulated eGFP-mRNA to chondrocytes in deeper tissue layers, a capability not observed with unmodified negatively charged exosomes. An article also authored by @Chenzhen Zhang, Tanvi Pathrikar, Helna M. Baby, Jun Li, Hengli Zhang, Andrew Selvadoss, Arina Ovchinnikova, Andreia Ionescu, SUSAN Chubinskaya and Rachel E.

?? Excited to initiate a research alliance with Navigo Proteins GmbH to establish novel and potentially much safer radioimmunoconjugates using pre-targeting strategies. ?? ?? The agreement brings together Navigo's Affilin? platform capable of providing highly specific targeted radiotheranostics with VERAXA’s proprietary click chemistry platform and conjugation expertise. ?? Pre-targeting strategies rely on separate injection of a tumor-targeting agent and subsequent delivery of a radioactive payload. The fact that our trans-cyclooctene (TCO)-based bioorthogonal click chemistry technology features one of the fastest reactions on the market may have special significance in the pre-targeting setting. ???? Using such a two-component system has the potential to enhance the targeting of cancer cells by delivering targeted radiation directly to the tumor, while minimizing the exposure of healthy tissues to radiation. ?? Meet VERAXA's CEO Christoph Antz and CBO Heinz Schwer, PhD, MBA during the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Week in San Francisco early 2025 to learn more about additional collaboration and investment opportunities. #ClickChemistry #radiopharmaceuticals #RICs #theranostics #precisiontargeting #precisionmedicine

INSIHGT is a new method for enhancing the depth penetration of antibodies and other macromolecular complexes for more homogenous labeling, paving the way for more impactful #SpatialBiology experiments in centimeter-scale tissue. This method works in two parts, first formaldehyde-fixed tissue is incubated with antibody and a weakly coordinated superchaotrope (WCS) to inhibit antibody-antigen interactions, allowing for even diffusion in the tissue. Second, the activity of the WCS is nullified by host-guest reactions with added macrocyclic compounds, restoring antibody activity.
