Survodutide acts through circumventricular organs in the brain and activates neuronal regions associated with appetite regulation
Abstract: Survodutide is a novel GCG/GLP-1 receptor (GCGR/GLP-1R) dual agonist in clinical development for people with obesity and people with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Preclinically, survodutide demonstrated body weight lowering efficacy through decreased energy intake and increased energy expenditure. Here,…
Transferrin receptor-binding blood-brain barrier shuttle enhances brain delivery and efficacy of a therapeutic anti-Aβ antibody
Background & aim: Transferrin receptor-1 (TfR1) transcytosis-mediated delivery of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a promising concept in drug development for CNS disorders. In this study, we investigated brain delivery and effects on plaque burden of…
Transferrin receptor-binding blood-brain barrier shuttle enhances brain delivery and efficacy of a therapeutic anti-Aβ antibody
Background & Aim: Improved CNS access of amyloid β (Aβ)-directed antibodies may increase therapeutic benefits while also reducing dose-dependent adverse effects of this drug class. Using light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM), we 3D mapped and quantified brain delivery, distribution and…
