Prostate cancer hijacks tumor cell biorhythm to evade hormone therapy

Scienmag

Hormone therapy is successful at keeping metastatic prostate cancer under control, but eventually the tumor cells become resistant to it. An unexpected potential solution has now emerged in medicines not designed to fight cancer, but to target proteins that regulate a cell’s circadian rhythm.

Can the FDA keep the momentum going for rare disease drug approvals?

Pharmaceutical Technology

The mutation leads to disordered thyroid hormone transport, which causes patients to experience intellectual and motor disabilities. Egetis is banking on tiratricol, an oral small molecule that restores dysfunctional thyroid hormone signalling, to be the first drug approved for this condition.

Scotland Introduces First C-Peptide Type 1 Diabetes Test

XTalks

The test measures levels of C-peptide protein in the blood, which is a byproduct of insulin synthesis that is released from the pancreas along with the hormone. Moreover, current ultrasensitive C-peptide assays can detect levels of the protein in very low ranges of 0.0015–0.0025 nmol/L.
