Cell, an international authoritative scientific journal, recently published a pioneering achievement from multiple research teams in China – the first time to use stem cell regeneration therapy to functionally cure type 1 diabetes. The research team used chemical reprogramming technology to induce pluripotent stem cells to prepare islet cells, and transplanted them to a type 1 diabetes patient, achieving clinical functional cure effect. So, how is it successful to induce stem cells to prepare pancreatic islet cells? Is functional cure truly a cure? Will stem cell technology be the key to conquer diabetes in the future? What is the difference between functional cure and cure Diabetes is a thorny disease, and its biggest harm to patients is that there are many clinical complications, which may lead to cardiovascular disease, nervous system damage, kidney disease, eye disease, foot disease, and so on. Diabetes ranks ninth among the world’s ten leading ...

On September 26, the field of schizophrenia ushered in a historic moment, when KarXT developed by Karuna was approved by the FDA for marketing. This means that Bristol-Myers Squibb’s tens of billions of bets have succeeded in their first battle. On December 22 last year, Bristol-Myers Squibb spent $14 billion to acquire Karuna for KarXT. KarXT has been approved for marketing, and there is another winner – Zai Lab. Currently, Zai Lab owns the rights to KarXT in Greater China. Considering that there are more than 8 million schizophrenia patients in China, and the introduction cost of Zai Lab is not high, it is expected to obtain sufficient profits. Of course, all this can only be said to have settled, and is not surprising. Most of the existing schizophrenia treatments are old varieties approved in the 1990s. KarXT does not rely on dopaminergic or serotonergic pathways and is the first ...

Lilly said that the company had completed the $800 million Kinsale factory expansion project to increase the production of its obesity and diabetes drugs Mounjaro and Zepbound. At the same time, the pharmaceutical company will also invest $1 billion to build a factory in Limerick to increase the production of biopharmaceutical raw materials, especially Kisunla, a drug approved by the FDA to treat Alzheimer’s disease two months ago. The production of active pharmaceutical ingredients is expected to begin in 2026. Lilly stated that Limerick’s expansion will add tools for artificial intelligence, automated robots, and machine learning to the website. ...

On the evening of August 29, Tonghua Jinma announced that the company recently received the State Drug Administration issued a listing application for succinium octahydroaminoacridine tablets “Notice of Acceptance”, the oral drug for light, moderate Alzheimer’s disease (Alzheimer’s disease, AD) treatment. On the same day, Tonghua Jinma plate rushed to a halt, closing up 9.98%, closing price of 14.54 yuan / share. Alzheimer’s disease as one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, the number of its patients with the aging trend of the population and rising. According to the introduction, Succinum Octahydroaminoacridine Tablets is a new, potent, clear mechanism of action of cholinesterase inhibitors, is a new chemical 1 class of drugs with complete independent intellectual property rights, new chemical molecular structure, domestic and foreign have not been marketed. The results of the main pharmacodynamic study show that the drug exhibits strong inhibition of both acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase, and by ...
Age is a significant factor for many common chronic diseases, yet it does not perfectly represent the actual biological aging processes that drive multimorbidity and mortality. Biological aging can be more accurately assessed by using ‘omics data, which reflects an individual’s biological functions relative to their chronological age. Traditionally, biological aging clocks have relied on DNA methylation, but protein levels might offer deeper insights into the mechanisms of aging. Researchers have now created a machine learning-based blood test that evaluates over 200 proteins to determine a person’s biological aging rate. This test is designed to predict the risk of developing 18 major age-related diseases and the likelihood of premature death. The machine learning model that uses blood proteomic information to estimate a proteomic age clock was developed by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston, MA, USA) in a large sample of participants from the UK Biobank. Its validity was further ...
Though the UK became the first country in Europe to authorize use of Eisai and Biogen’s early Alzheimer’s disease drug, Leqembi (lecanemab), patients in the UK’s National Health Services (NHS) will not gain access to the drug as the anti-amyloid treatment was deemed too costly. As per the 22 August draft guidance consultation released by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), an independent committee found that the cost effectiveness estimates were “considerably above what NICE considers an acceptable use of NHS resources.” The committee cited a lack of evidence on the long-term effects of treatment with Leqembi and the costs of providing treatment infusions, monitoring side effects, and determining when to terminate treatment as uncertainties. According to the guidance, NICE has requested additional information from Eisai and NHS England to address the uncertainties and will consider the additional information alongside stakeholder comments in a second meeting. In ...
Researchers from King’s College London have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) brain imaging model in collaboration with University College London (UCL) which is realistic and accurate enough to use in medical research. Published in Nature Medicine Intelligence, the three-dimensional, synthetic images of the human brain could help support research to predict, diagnose and treat brain diseases including dementia, stroke and multiple sclerosis. According to Brain Research UK, there are an estimated 11 million people in the UK who are living with a neurological condition. Among the most common are Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy and stroke. In collaboration with the London Medical Imaging and AI Centre for Value-Based Healthcare and NVIDIA data scientists and engineers, researchers trained the AI model in weeks as opposed to months using the NVIDIA Cambridge-1 supercomputer. The model is able to produce 3D, high-resolution images that have all the characteristics of real human brains, including correct ...
Luye Pharma Group today announced that the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has approved its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for LY03020 filed under the Class 1 pathway for investigational drugs. LY03020, a dual TAAR1/5-HT2CR agonist, is intended to treat schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease psychosis (ADP). Developed on Luye Pharma’s New Chemical Entity/New Therapeutic Entity (NCE/NTE) platform, LY03020 is a next-generation antipsychotic and the first agonist against both the trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) and the 5-HT2C receptor (5-HT2CR) in the world. “Unlike the existing antipsychotics that typically antagonize D2 and 5-HT2A receptors on the postsynaptic membrane, the next-generation antipsychotics agonize those receptors on the presynaptic membrane. Compared with the existing antipsychotics, LY03020 targets both TAAR1 and 5-HT2CR, and thus is able to reduce adverse reactions such as extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) and metabolic syndromes while significantly improving the negative symptoms and cognitive impairments ...
