Research, Science & development

Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common form of lung cancer and can occur in both smokers and people who have never smoked.

TAVI is widely used to treat severe aortic stenosis, a condition in which narrowing of the aortic valve restricts blood flow from the heart.

The researchers focused on polygenic risk scores, which combine the effects of multiple genetic variants to estimate a person’s inherited susceptibility to a disease. However, existing methods may overlook genetic information associated with disease risk.

The study will generate data that researchers can use to improve disease prediction, early detection, and prevention while supporting the development of more personalized healthcare.

Although Aedes aegypti mosquitoes have been detected in the UK several times in recent years, the latest findings provide the first evidence that the species is actively breeding in Britain.

The test is now being evaluated for use in Sub-Saharan Africa, where researchers hope it could become the first validated rapid diagnostic test for iron deficiency.

The researchers say the finding could help guide the development of more targeted treatment combinations for patients whose tumors produce the protein.

The latest milestone advances the company’s second clinical-stage therapeutic candidate and marks the first clinical programme built using its proprietary Au-HALO™ liver-targeting delivery technology and siRNA platform.

Amylyx developed the education initiative after researching the PBH patient community.

The clinical trial will assess SIL204, an investigational treatment developed by Silexion using small interfering RNA (siRNA) technology.
