Blockade of CD73 Increases the Cytotoxic Effects of Fludarabine in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia [PDF]
Background: Ecto-5’-nucleotidase (CD73) is a membrane-bound enzyme that converts adenosine 5’-monophosphate into adenosine. It is proven that the presence of elevated levels of adenosine in the tumor microenvironment induces tumor growth while ...

Progress in RNA-targeting and Gene Editing Therapies for Transthyretin Amyloidosis Cardiomyopathy
Transthyretin(TTR) protein is a tetramer protein, synthesized mainly by the liver. TTR can be misfolded and deposited as amyloid fibrilae and deposited in the myocardial interstroma leading to transthyroxin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM).

Improved efficacy for ezetimibe and rosuvastatin by attenuating the induction of PCSK9[S]
Reducing circulating LDL-cholesterol (LDL-c) reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease in people with hypercholesterolemia. Current approaches to reduce circulating LDL-c include statins, which inhibit cholesterol synthesis, and ezetimibe, which blocks ...

siRNA-optimized Modifications for Enhanced In Vivo Activity
Current modifications used in small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), such as 2’-methoxy (2’-OMe) and 2’-fluoro (2’-F), improve stability, specificity or immunogenic properties but do not improve potency.
