Decades of male bias in animal research have left female biology critically understudied. Prematurely phasing out animal research would lock this inequity into future biomedicine, disproportionately harming women.
When French geneticist Jean-Francois Deleuze first launched the AGENOMICS study in 2022, he hoped to identify genetic patterns among 1,200 French citizens who’d lived more than 100 years and to compare those to centenarians hailing from one of the world-famous “blue zones.”
BackgroundThis study investigated whether manual therapy applied to tendon organs ameliorated neuromuscular dysfunction in rats with spasticity induced by upper motor neuron injury associated with spastic cerebral palsy, and analyzed the potential involvement of the C-fiber-mediated CaMKII signaling pathway.MethodsMale rats were used to establish palsy models and divided into groups: Control, Model, Manual Therapy (MT), Capsaicin Treatment, Sham, CaMKII Inhibitor, and DMSO Solvent groups. Except for Control, all underwent pyramidal-tract destruction. After modeling, the MT group received manual therapy on the left-lower leg tendon organs. The Capsaicin group underwent sciatic nerve capsaicin treatment for C-fiber block on days 2 and 7; the Sham group had sciatic nerve exposure only. Both received daily manual therapy intervention for 14 days. The CaMKII Inhibitor and DMSO Solvent groups received intrathecal injections every 2 days (7 times total) without manual intervention. Spasticity-related behavioral indices, molecular expression, and neurotransmitter levels were assessed.ResultsManual therapy reduced the neurological deficit scores and muscle spasticity scores of model rats, improved the pathological morphology of the pyramidal tract and skeletal muscle, and regulated the expression of key molecules and neurotransmitters in the spinal cord and hippocampus. The therapeutic effects of manual therapy were significantly attenuated after C-fiber blockage, and although CaMKII inhibition could partially mimic the neuromodulatory effects of manual therapy, its efficacy in alleviating spasticity was inferior to that of manual-therapy intervention.ConclusionManual therapy appears to regulate CaMKII signaling via C-fiber afferent pathways to ameliorate neuromuscular dysfunction in a rat model of spasticity induced by pyramidal-tract lesion, thereby providing experimental evidence for the clinical application of optimized manual therapy parameters in the management of spasticity in patients with cerebral palsy.
Amblyopia is a common childhood visual disorder caused by abnormal visual experience that drives visual cortical plasticity during the sensitive period. The timing and forms of treatment with patching therapy and other therapeutic interventions have been extensively studied; however, sex has not been a primary focus in studies examining amblyopia. This mini-review synthesizes evidence for sex differences across levels of analysis, from typical visual development to animal models of amblyopia and human studies of amblyopia incidence and treatment. In addition, it highlights latent sex differences in plasticity mechanisms that may provide insights for future visual neuroscience studies of amblyopia. These findings highlight a key concept: visual outcomes may appear similar yet depend on different mechanisms in females and males, potentially influencing the durability of recovery. We discuss a framework to advance a sex-aware research pipeline for amblyopia, spanning basic, preclinical, and clinical/translational research.
ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the correlation between trace element concentrations, 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels, and the severity of tic disorders (TD) in children from the Hubei region. Additionally, it seeks to explore the interrelationships among these monitored indicators to provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of pediatric TD.MethodsA retrospective review was conducted on the medical records of 237 children diagnosed with TD (TD group) and 137 healthy controls, admitted to the Department of Neurology at Hubei Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital. The TD group was further divided into mild and moderate-to-severe subgroups based on the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale scores. General clinical data were collected, and serum trace element levels were measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), while serum 25(OH)D levels were quantified via liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). Group comparisons, Spearman correlation analysis, and univariate/multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed.ResultsThe findings indicated that serum 25(OH)D levels were significantly lower in children with TD compared to controls (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that 25(OH)D was an independent protective factor against tic disorders.(p < 0.001). Compared to the control group, children with TD exhibited significantly lower levels of calcium and copper (p < 0.001), along with higher levels of iron and cadmium (p < 0.01). These differences were more pronounced in the subgroup of children older than 6 years. An age-stratified subgroup analysis revealed no significant differences in any other indicators except for cadmium between the TD and control groups among children aged 6 years or younger (p > 0.05). Spearman correlation analysis demonstrated that within the TD group, 25(OH)D levels had the most significant correlations with calcium and copper (p < 0.001). No statistically significant differences were observed in the levels of the 10 trace elements or 25(OH)D between the mild and moderate-to-severe TD subgroups (p > 0.05).ConclusionChildren with Tic Disorders in Hubei Province demonstrate a distinctive alteration in their micronutrient profile, primarily characterized by a deficiency in 25(OH)D, alongside reduced levels of calcium and copper, and elevated levels of iron and cadmium. This association is particularly pronounced in male children over the age of six. While 25(OH)D deficiency is identified as an independent risk factor for TD, its concentration does not significantly correlate with the severity of the disorder.
BackgroundAdolescents with depressive disorders are at elevated risk for adverse mental health outcomes, and excessive Internet use has been increasingly linked to greater symptom severity. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the chain mediating roles of social anxiety and sleep quality in the association between excessive Internet use and depressive symptoms among adolescents with depressive disorders.MethodsA cross-sectional design was used. A total of 266 Chinese adolescents with clinically diagnosed depressive disorders (M = 15.79 years, SD = 1.85; 71.4% female) were assessed using the Internet Addiction Test, Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale, Social Anxiety Scale for Children, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Correlation analyses and bootstrapping methods were conducted using SPSS and the PROCESS macro to examine the chain mediating effects of social anxiety and sleep quality.ResultsThe total indirect effect of excessive Internet use on depressive symptoms accounted for 65.66% of the total effect. Specifically, the indirect effects via social anxiety and sleep quality accounted for 24.10% and 26.51% of the total effect, respectively. In addition, the chain mediating effect of social anxiety and sleep quality was significant, accounting for 14.76% of the total effect.ConclusionExcessive Internet use was positively associated with more severe depressive symptoms among adolescents with depressive disorders, both directly and indirectly through the chain mediating effects of social anxiety and sleep quality. These findings highlight potential targets for preventing and intervening in excessive Internet use among this population.
IntroductionLate-life difficult-to-treat depression (LL-DTD) and dementia frequently coexist in later life, but it remains unclear whether clinical and sociodemographic characteristics, as well as medication exposure patterns, differ across dementia subtypes among older adults with both conditions.MethodsWe analysed anonymised electronic health records from a south London catchment area. We included patients aged ≥60 years at first recorded depression diagnosis with a dementia diagnosis. LL-DTD was defined as inadequate response to ≥2 antidepressant trials. Dementia diagnoses were classified as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), vascular dementia (VD), mixed AD/VD, dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), or other/unspecified dementia. Around the index depressive episode, we captured sociodemographics, depressive symptoms, physical comorbidity, and medication indicators. We used multivariate logistic regression to examine cross-sectional correlates distinguishing dementia subtypes (with AD as reference) within the LL-DTD and dementia sample. We conducted stratified analyses comparing non-AD versus AD dementia by the temporal order of dementia and depression diagnoses.ResultsAmong 890 older adults with LL-DTD and dementia, AD was the most common subtype (33.9%), followed by mixed AD/VD (22.5%), VD (22.2%), other/unspecified dementia (15.2%), and DLB (6.2%). Depressive symptom profiles and psychotropic treatment history were broadly similar across subtypes. Compared with AD, VD was associated with greater functional impairment, while greater physical comorbidity burden was more evident in VD and mixed AD/VD.DiscussionSomatic multimorbidity and functional impairment provided the clearest clinical separation between subgroups, while depressive symptom patterns and medication exposure appeared largely non-specific across dementia subtypes. This underscores the importance of multimorbidity and physical health burden in understanding heterogeneity of dementia outcomes in LL-DTD.
The rapid adoption of AI chatbots for emotional support and quasi-therapeutic interaction raises questions that existing clinical and regulatory frameworks are not equipped to address. This Perspective applies the psychic arbitrage framework—which reconceptualizes defense mechanisms as energy-conversion operations on internal psychic markets—to analyze the specific transactional distortions produced by chatbot interaction. The framework identifies four dysfunctions: liquidity illusion (apparent emotional processing without genuine containment), market-making blockage (narcissistic reflection replacing transformative engagement), closure of arbitrage circuits (path-dependent externalization displacing autonomous elaboration), and repertoire degradation (progressive intolerance of costly but productive transactions). The article proposes that chatbots trained via Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) produce a functional analogue of the Dark Triad profile—narcissistic mirroring, Machiavellian retention, and psychopathic detachment—as systematic architectural output regularities, not personality attribution. Preliminary converging evidence from mechanistic interpretability, formal reward-learning analysis, clinical reports, and user behavior studies is broadly consistent with these predictions but does not yet demonstrate direct long-term causal effects. The framework offers clinicians a transactional vocabulary for assessing AI-related risk and generates falsifiable predictions for future research.
Sometimes a patient’s death is enough to send a stock tumbling. Other times, the fear of litigation that often arises whenever a new therapeutic approach emerges can send shares sinking. This past week, Erasca (NASDAQ: ERAS)—whose name is a portmanteau for “erase cancer”—ran into both, causing its share price to nosedive 53%.
The precision oncology company, whose drugs and combination therapies focus on fighting cancer by shutting down the RAS/MAPK pathway, shared preliminary positive albeit early clinical dose escalation data for ERAS-0015, pooled from two Phase I trials. The oral pan-RAS molecular glue is being developed to treat solid tumors that include non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and pancreatic cancer (formally pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma or PDAC).
ERAS-0015 achieved unconfirmed overall response rates (uORR) of 62% to 75% in KRAS G12X NSCLC patients dosed at 16–32 mg once daily, with the low percentage in second line or greater KRAS G12X NSCLC (37 patients), and the high percentage in post-ICI/platinum (second and third line) KRAS G12X NSCLC (37 patients). In pancreatic cancer, which has an overall five-year survival rate of just 13%, ERAS-0015 achieved unconfirmed overall response rates ranging from 40% to 50% in second-line positive KRAS G12X PDAC.
However, tucked in footnotes on pages 25 and 43 of its investor presentation detailing the positive data was the disclosure that a 66-year-old male patient died after his grade 3 treatment-related adverse event (TRAE) of pneumonitis progressed to grade 5 after supportive care was withdrawn at the patient’s direction. The patient, who had “heavily pretreated” metastatic pancreatic cancer, received 24 mg of ERAS-0015, Erasca said.
“The patient had pulmonary metastases, a history of right lung cryoablation, and no history of lung radiation. The patient presented to the ER approximately a month after starting ERAS-0015 with grade 3 pneumonitis that was treated aggressively with immediate discontinuation of ERAS-0015, high-dose steroids, and infliximab,” Erasca explained. “The patient requested withdrawal of supportive care and ultimately died of the event.”
“Different outcome”
Jonathan E. Lim, MD, Erasca’s chairman, CEO, and co-founder
During an April 27 conference call, Jonathan E. Lim, MD, Erasca’s chairman, CEO, and co-founder, told analysts the death was “a very rare event” as pneumonitis is a rare drug-related toxicity seen in many oncology drugs.
“The withdrawal of supportive care is really why this progressed from grade 3 to grade 5,” Lim said. “The investigator told us directly that he thought that if the patient had continued supportive care, then it might have been a different outcome. So yes, it’s very unfortunate for the patient, but that was the feedback.”
Lim added that Erasca hasn’t seen any other grade 4 or grade 5 TRAEs. He told analysts that both FDA-approved KRAS G12C inhibitors have warnings and precautions for pneumonitis in their labels—Lumakras® (sotorasib), marketed by Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN); and Krazati® (adagrasib), marketed by Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY). Lim also cited Revolution Medicine (NASDAQ: RVMD)’s daraxonrasib (formerly RMC-6236), which Erasca is citing as a comparator to ERAS-0015, had also reported pneumonitis at a level of 1 out of 50 patients for monotherapy.
The same day as the data release and patient death disclosure, Erasca also revealed in a regulatory filing that it had received a letter from legal counsel for Revolution, Erasca’s arch-rival developer of RAS inhibitors against cancer. Revolution told Erasca that ERAS-0015 was “substantially equivalent” to compositions claimed by Revolution in its U.S. Patent No. 12,409,225, titled “RAS Inhibitors”, and as a result, Erasca “infringes” the patent.
“The disclosure features macrocyclic compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions and protein complexes thereof, capable of inhibiting Ras proteins, and their uses in the treatment of cancers,” according to the text of the patent, which lists Revolution as its assignee.
Revolution also contended that Erasca was liable as licensee for ERAS-0015, and that Erasca “improperly” compared preclinical data of ERAS-0015 and daraxonrasib publicly.
No wrongdoing, Erasca insists
Erasca insists it did nothing wrong, stating in the filing that it “intends to contest the allegations vigorously.”
Lim echoed the company’s response in the filing during an interview with GEN, where he stated that the company believes Revolution’s assertions to be without merit.
“We have no reason to believe that ERAS 15 infringes any patent—including RevMed’s accusation, which is based on the doctrine of equivalence, rather than an accusation of direct infringement,” Lim said. “RevMed did not provide details to support its claim that others engaged in trade secret misappropriation, and we have no reason to believe any such thing occurred.”
“In addition, we believe that all of our preclinical data comparisons have been appropriate. And all of our data presented on the R&D Day were not based on head-to-head studies but on cross-trial comparisons. We made that very clear during the presentation,” Lim added.
Through a spokesperson, Revolution told GEN the company was acting to defend its inventions and the IP behind them.
“We are committed to protecting the strong foundation of innovation we have built over more than a decade through transformative science and significant investment,” Revolution stated. “While we do not comment on the specifics of ongoing legal matters, we remain confident in the strength of our intellectual property. Our focus remains on advancing our science to deliver innovative medicines that make a meaningful impact for patients.
Slumping stock
Erasca investors reacted coolly to the patient death and prospect of a legal wrangle with Revolution. Erasca shares slumped 11% from $21.49 to $19.15 the day of the data announcement and regulatory filing. The share price plunged 48% to $9.90 Tuesday and fell another 8% Wednesday to $9.11 before bouncing back17% to $10.65 Thursday as investors bought the dip, then finished Friday sliding 6%, closing at $10.03.
Despite the selloff, Erasca shares have more than quadrupled over the past six months, rocketing 314% from $2.42 on October 31 and catapulting 573% over the past year (from $1.49 on May 1, 2025).
Revolution shares rose 3% this week. After sliding nearly 3% from $135.30 to $131.67 on April 27, the stock benefited from Erasca’s slump by jumping 10% to $144.83 before fluctuating, closing Friday at $139.48.
“We view the (-)ve [negative] post‑data reaction as overdone, as ERAS‑0015 looks like a formidable competitor in the pan‑RAS landscape,” Maury Raycroft, PhD, equity analyst with Jefferies, wrote in a research note.
Raycroft cited Erasca’s comparing its 62%/75% uORR in NSCLC to the confirmed 38% ORR cited for daraxonrasib in a 2025 study by researchers from Revolution and several clinical partners. Among second and third-line treatment patients post‑ICI/platinum, efficacy appeared broadly consistent across geographies, Raycroft noted, w/ uORR of 71% in the United States (12 patients), where ERAS-0015 was studied in the Phase I AURORAS-1 trial (NCT06983743), and 73% in China (11 patients), where partner Joyo Pharmatech sponsored a trial known as STAR or JYP0015M101 (NCT06895031).
“Early durability is also encouraging, w/ progression observed in 1/27 pts in the China study and 2/12 in the U.S. study; though, follow‑up remains limited (median likely ~3–4 mos), so durability conclusions are premature,” Raycroft cautioned.
In pancreatic cancer, pooled U.S. and Chinese patient data ranged from 40% uORR at 16–32 mg (20 patients), to 42% uORR at 24–32 mg (12 patients), and 50% uORR at 32 mg once daily (two patients).
Expansion doses
“Right now, we think the lower doses at 8 and 16 milligrams, for instance, seem to be relatively underpowered against pancreatic cancer compared to 24 to 32 milligrams. So, based on the totality of efficacy, safety, tolerability, and PK data, we have determined 24 and 32 milligrams to be the recommended doses for expansion,” Lim told GEN. “So we have already begun to expand out those doses to treat patients at both 24 and 32 milligrams.”
All but one of 24 responding NSCLC patients, and 20 out of 23 responding PDAC patients, remain on treatment, including all responders treated at the 24 and 32 mg once daily recommended doses for expansion (RDEs).
Erasca said ERAS-0015 showed clinical potential for combinability with standard-of-care doses of the anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody panitumumab in fighting colorectal cancer (CRC), where EGFR is a key mechanism for acquired resistance. Through the data cutoff date of March 31, Erasca showed no dose-limiting toxicities among three patients, of which one showed an unconfirmed partial response in an efficacy-evaluable patient with metastatic CRC: “That’s really exciting to have,” Lim said.
Compelling opportunities
“For monotherapy, we think lung and pancreatic are compelling opportunities, and then for colorectal cancer, combination therapy will likely be required, so we’re focused on the combination with EGFR antibody for colorectal cancer,” Lim said.
“The fact that we have been able to successfully combine ERAS15 with panitumumab in three patients, with two of them passing the DLT window, is exciting. And we did that with a 16 milligram dose of ERAS-15, which is within the pharmacologically active dose range of 16 to 32 milligrams. It’s really exciting to have safety and tolerability that is promising with that combination and activity within the PAD.”
The Erasca-Revolution dispute appears to explain a decline early this past week in the American depositary shares of another cancer drug developer whose pipeline includes RAS-targeting therapies: Adlai Nortye (NASDAQ: ANL) shares skidded 10.5% from $14.80 to $13.25 the day of Erasca’s announcement and filing, then dropped another 8% to $12.17 Tuesday before rebounding 27% the rest of the week, closing Friday at $15.50.
Adlai Nortye is developing AN9025, an oral, small-molecule pan-RAS(ON) inhibitor designed to treat a variety of advanced solid tumors with RAS mutations. AN9025 is under study in a Phase I trial (NCT07252479) whose first patient was dosed in the United States in February. The trial is being conducted with Jiangsu Aosaikang Pharmaceutical, which holds rights to AN9025 in China, Hong Kong, and Macao.
Andrew Berens, MD, senior managing director, targeted oncology, and a senior research analyst with Leerink Partners, wrote in a research note that a conversation with Adlai Nortye management offered reasons for confidence that the company will avoid legal trouble in connection with AN9025.
“ANL’s discovery of AN9025 was conducted in-house and independently, suggesting that trade secret misappropriations are unlikely,” Berens reported. “Further, while both drugs feature a macrocyclic scaffold, according to ANL, ERAS-0015 has significantly less branch change modifications and features a bridge, while 9025 underwent numerous branch modifications and the addition of a ring to the scaffold.”
Leaders and laggards
Esperion Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ESPR) shares leaped 55.5% from $2 to $3.11 Friday after the developer of cardiometabolic and rare/orphan disease therapies said it agreed to be acquired by funds managed by the healthcare-focused investment firm Archimed in a deal valued at up to approximately $1.1 billion if Esperion achieves specified commercial-based milestones. Esperion shareholders will receive $3.16 per share in cash at closing, plus the right to participate in contingent milestone payments of up to $100 million tied to future U.S. net sales for products containing bempedoic acid and products containing bumetanide. The upfront cash consideration represents a premium of 58% to Esperion’s closing share price on Thursday. Founded in 2008, Esperion specializes in developing drugs designed to fight the risk of cardiovascular disease. Esperion’s board has unanimously approved the acquisition deal, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions that include approval by Esperion’s shareholders and required regulatory approvals.
Novocure (NASDAQ: NVCR) shares jumped 27% from $11.93 to $15.21 Thursday following several positive announcements by the oncology drug/device developer. Novocure raised its 2026 guidance to investors, increasing its net revenue forecast range to $690 million–$710 million (from $675 million–$705 million), and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) from a $15 million operating loss to zero (from a $20 million operating loss to zero). The company said its launch of Optune Pax®, a wearable device designed to deliver its Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) therapy for adults with locally advanced pancreatic cancer concomitant with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel, was successful, with 800+ prescribers certified and 160+ prescriptions received through March 31. TTFields are alternating electric fields designed to cause cell death by disrupting cancer cell replication. Novocure finished Q1 with net revenue of $174.055 million, up 12% year-over-year from $154.994 million.
Sangamo Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SGMO) shares plummeted 35% from 20 cents to 13 cents on Wednesday after the genomic medicine developer said it will begin trading its shares on the OTCQB Venture Market on May 5, under its existing ticker symbol SGMO. The switch comes after Nasdaq notified Sangamo that its common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market due to non-compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum $1 per share bid price requirement. While Sangamo said it intends to request a hearing from Nasdaq to appeal the delisting determination, that hearing will not stay the suspension of trading of Sangamo’s common stock. Sangamo said the shift is not expected to result in material impacts to its business or operations: “Sangamo remains focused on pursuing opportunities to raise additional capital, including an assessment of all strategic options to maximize the value of its assets.” To that end, the company said, it is negotiating “multiple potential business development transactions.”
uniQure (NASDAQ: QURE) shares climbed 19% from $16.73 to $19.95 Thursday after the gene therapy developer offered regulatory updates that included having been granted a granted a Type B meeting with the FDA to occur in the second quarter: “The company expects to discuss key elements of a potential Phase III trial design and to receive feedback on the proposed statistical analysis plan for the four-year analysis expected in the third quarter.” uniQure added that it held a pre-submission meeting with the U.K.’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and plans to submit a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for AMT-130 for the treatment of Huntington’s disease in the third quarter. The company said it expects to submit an MAA based on a three-year analysis from its ongoing U.S. and European Phase I/II clinical trials.
