Imaging equipment is an indispensable medical product for building a clinical diagnosis and treatment system. Medical imaging equipment interacts with the human body through a certain medium (such as X-rays, electromagnetic fields, ultrasound, etc.), and presents the structure and density of internal tissues and organs of the human body in the form of images for diagnostic physicians to judge and evaluate the health status of the human body. Commonly used medical imaging equipment in clinical practice includes computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MR), X-ray imaging equipment, nuclear medicine diagnostic equipment, and ultrasound equipment (US). Medical imaging of different modalities has different working principles, imaging characteristics, application scenarios, and advantages and disadvantages, but the functions are relatively consistent: Medical imaging equipment is one of the basic diagnostic options before most diseases are currently intervened, especially in the context of aging in China. Most aging-related diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular ...

WRN has been identified as a synthetic lethal target in highly microsatellite unstable (MSI-H) cancer cells, with therapeutic potential for MSI-H tumor patients who do not respond to existing therapies. The innovative module Alchemisty under Yingsi Intelligent Chemistry42 utilizes non-equilibrium switching method to accurately and quickly estimate the binding free energy of protein ligand complexes, simplifying and accelerating the optimization process of ISM2196. In preclinical studies, ISM2196 has demonstrated strong in vivo anti-tumor efficacy in various MSI-H cancer models, with good selectivity, safety, and ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity) characteristics. Yingsi Intelligent, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical technology company driven by generative artificial intelligence (AI), announced the nomination of preclinical candidate drug ISM2196, a potential “best in class” WRN inhibitor discovered by AI, aimed at treating advanced metastatic microsatellite instability (MSI) cancer through synthetic lethal strategies. The DNA helicase Werner (WRN) is a member of the RecQ helicase family ...
Recently, Zhendong Pharmaceutical (300158.SZ) was once a partner in arbitration, the amount of claims reached 1.47 billion yuan, almost close to the company’s operating income in the first half of the year. September 9, Zhendong Pharmaceutical announcement shows that the company received on September 7, China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission issued the “DE20242588 commissioned production contract dispute arbitration notice”, Beijing Lundy Pharmaceuticals Co. (hereinafter referred to as “Lundy Pharmaceuticals”) filed an application for arbitration with the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission in respect of the contract dispute between Lundy Pharmaceuticals and Zhendong Pharmaceuticals. After the announcement, September 10 to 11, Zhendong Pharmaceuticals shares fell more than 10%, closing price of 3.40 yuan / share on the 11th. Market on both sides of the arbitration situation is also quite concerned about the two sides of the disagreement related to the situation, the “China Business ...
For some time now, the A-share market has been under continuous pressure due to complex internal and external market factors, making it difficult to give full play to resource allocation, value discovery, wealth management and investment functions.

As a drug therapy target for obesity and type 2 diabetes, glucagon like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is widely distributed in many tissues and has cell type specific physiological functions. For example, GLP-1R mainly regulates insulin secretion and cell proliferation in pancreatic islets, and has functions such as appetite suppression, neuroprotection, and anti-inflammatory in the brain. Considering that the maturation, localization, activation, and endocytosis of receptors are all influenced by protein interactions, exploring the interactions between receptors and other membrane proteins on the cell surface can provide important clues for the study of the regulatory mechanism of GLP-1R. However, due to the low expression levels and transient and weak interactions of most membrane receptors, the study of the interaction between endogenous GLP-1R and cell membrane proteins requires the development of new research methods. On September 3, 2024, the iHuman Institute of ShanghaiTech University and the research group led by Shui Wenqing ...
Heavy weight! DeepMind is scaling up again! AlphaFold dominates the field of protein prediction, and AlphaFold 3 breaks through its limitations by predicting all living molecules. When it was released, there were voices claiming that AlphaFold 3’s structured prediction and generation would accelerate the development of AI driven drug design. Now, DeepMind has scaled up its strategy by releasing AlphaProteo for the design of new proteins. AlphaProteo is the first AI system designed specifically for designing novel high-intensity protein conjugates, capable of generating conjugates of multiple target proteins. This system significantly improves the success rate, even 3 to 300 times stronger than existing methods. Especially for the VEGF-A protein related to cancer and diabetes complications, AlphaProteo is the first AI tool to design successful conjugates. In addition, it can effectively bind to various proteins related to infection, cancer, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases, such as BHRF1, SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, IL-7R α, ...
