Kojin Therapeutics Debuts to Solve Difficult Diseases Through Cell Behavior

Published: Jun 09, 2021 By Mark Terry Kojin Therapeutics launched with a $60 million Series A to initially focus on oncology and cell state biology. The round was led by Polaris Partners, Newpath Partners, and Cathay Health, affiliated to Cathay Capital. Participants included Leaps by Bayer, AbbVie, Eventide Asset Management, Alexandria, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Binney Street Capital, and several family offices. The approach came out of the laboratoryof Stuart Schreiber, Harvard University professor and co-founder of the Broad Institute. Co-founders of Kojin include Benjamin Cravatt, Stephanie Dougan and Vasanthi Viswanathan. The company’s technology is ferroptosis-based drug discovery, which is to say, iron-dependent cell death. Kojin says that difficult-to-treat diseases, which includes drug-resistant cancers, involve diseased cells that are sensitive to ferroptosis.

Jumping genes can prevent blood cancers: Study

Jumping genes can prevent blood cancers: Study ​ By IANS | ​ 4 Views Gallbladder, biliary tract cancer cases up 76% in 3 decades. Image Source: IANS News New York, April 9 : US scientists have found that transposons, also known as jumping genes, can protect against certain blood cancers and help develop new therapeutic targets. Transposons are DNA sequences that can move, or jump, from one location in the genome to another when activated. These jumping genes are a source of genetic mutations responsible for a number of human diseases. The findings, published in the journal Nature Genetics, can help predict how patients will respond to cancer therapies and find new therapeutic targets for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) the deadliest type of blood cancer in adults and children.

In the new study from Children s Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI), scientists made the unexpected discovery that these DNA sequences, also known as transposons, can protect against certain blood cancers. These findings, published in Nature Genetics, led scientists to identify a new biomarker that could help predict how patients will respond to cancer therapies and find new therapeutic targets for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the deadliest type of blood cancer in adults and children.
