Developing Novel AR Mutant Prostate Cancer Models

Since prostate cancer heavily depends on androgen hormones for growth, targeting the androgen receptor (AR) signaling pathway is a key therapeutic strategy for treating advanced metastatic prostate cancer. While AR antagonists like enzalutamide can significantly improve survival in prostate cancer patients, resistance often develops over time, largely driven by treatment-induced mutations within the ligand-binding domain …Read More >

Toxicology Profile of a Novel GLP-1 Receptor Agonist

Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists have emerged as promising therapeutic options for addressing type‐2 diabetes, obesity, and related conditions. However, because of the continued need for injectable administration, many GLP-1 agonists face compliance challenges. To improve the design and production of GLP-1 receptor biased agonists with enhanced druggability, a novel small molecule, designated SAL0112, was …Read More >

Discovery of a Specific CKIP-1 Ligand using DEL

Casein kinase 2-interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1) performs a critical negative role in the regulation of bone formation. Accumulated evidence strongly supports CKIP-1 as an attractive therapeutic target in osteoporosis.  As a scaffold protein lacking enzymatic activity, CKIP-1 seems to be an undruggable target, and the development of selective small molecule inhibitors targeting CKIP-1 has proven to …Read More >

Animal Disease Models of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a prevalent, chronic, autoimmune disease. The onset and progression of RA are closely associated with an aberrant immune response, in which immune cells accumulate excessively in target joints.  Most current, anti-rheumatic drugs only alleviate disease progression or ameliorate inflammation. Development of new RA therapies with increased efficacy represents an unmet medical …Read More >
