This January, top news includes glycoengineering, anti-malarial antibodies, and PROTACs.
Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are heterobifunctional molecules designed to degrade specific proteins by recruiting an E3 ubiquitin ligase to the target protein, leading to its ubiquitylation and subsequent degradation by the proteasome. This novel mechanism enables PROTACs to eliminate on

DAR is key to ADC success. Biointron explains how drug-to-antibody ratios shape potency, safety, and outcomes in cancer therapy.
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have seen significant developments in regulatory review, with several notable announcements in the past few weeks. Innate Pharma received FDA clearance for its investigational new drug (IND) application for IPH4502, a novel topoisomerase I inhibitor ADC conjugated to exatecan targeting Nectin-4. Nectin-4 is a cell membrane adhesion protein overexpressed in several solid tumors, including urothelial, breast, esophageal, lung, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers, with limited expression in normal tissues.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major global health issue, driven by high levels of immunosuppressive viral antigens, the host immune system's failure to effectively control the virus, and the immunosuppressive environment of the liver. Existing therapies have limited effectiveness in eliminating the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg).
