Monday, November 13, 2023

EDISON, N.J., Nov. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hepion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:HEPA), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on Artificial Intelligence (“AI”)-driven therapeutic drug development for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (“MASH”; previously referred to as “NASH”), fibrotic diseases, hepatocellular carcinoma (“HCC”), and other chronic diseases, today announced additional efficacy data for rencofilstat, its lead drug candidate.

Key Points: 
  • Dr. Mayo’s presentation indicated that 17 weeks of rencofilstat treatment was associated with significant reduction in liver stiffness (FibroScan®) in MASH subjects with advanced F3, an outcome suggesting reduction in hepatic fibro-inflammation.
  • Ongoing hepatic fibro-inflammation leads to progressive accumulation of collagen or fibrosis, increasing liver stiffness, and functional deterioration.
  • The predictive power of liver stiffness measurements on the course of disease is further enhanced when taken together with blood-based markers of liver disease.
  • Reduction in liver stiffness by rencofilstat likely indicates reduction in fibroinflammation, and reduction in risk for subsequent clinical outcome.

Incheon National University Scientists Develop New Hydrogels for Wound Management

Monday, November 6, 2023

GWANGJU, South Korea, Nov. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Wound management is essential to ensure a speedy and safe recovery, and tissue adhesive patches are an attractive option that can replace sutures and stapling. In a recent study, researchers from Korea developed a new type of gelatin-based tissue adhesive hydrogel that locally generates oxygen through a reaction mediated by calcium peroxide, which improves the adhesiveness of the material and greatly enhances the healing process.

Key Points: 
  • Open wounds, whether caused by accidents or from medical procedures like surgery, require proper management to speed up healing and prevent infections.
  • While sutures and staples are common wound closure methods, they can cause secondary tissue injuries, potentially leaking fluids and gases and requiring anesthetics.
  • Against this backdrop, a team of researchers from Korea, led by Associate Professor Kyung Min Park of Incheon National University set out to find an effective solution to these limitations.
  • The research team has high hopes for the potential of the GOTs to become a cost-effective solution for wound management in a clinical setting.
