Background: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common and highly morbid complication of diabetes with high unmet medical needs. AUP1602-C, a topical four-in-one gene therapy medicinal product (GTMP), consisting of a strain that produces fibroblast growth factor-2, interleukin-4, and colony-stimulating factor-1, is a promising novel treatment for DFU.

Objectives: The aim of this first-in-human study was to investigate whether AUP1602-C is safe and effective in improving wound healing and quality of life (QoL) in patients with non-healing DFU (nhDFU), and to determine the recommended phase II dose.

Essential tremor (ET) is one of the most prevalent nerve-related movement disorders, most commonly affecting the hands during voluntary movements or while maintaining posture. Unlike tremors in neurodegenerative conditions, ET is not observed at rest. Continued research is essential to optimize treatment strategies and address the unmet need for sustainable, patient-centered therapies that minimize side effects and enhance long-term quality of life (QoL) for individuals with ET.

Calcium plays an important role in regulating various neuronal activities in human brains. Investigating the dynamics of the calcium level in neurons is essential not just for understanding the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders but also as a quantitative gauge to evaluate the influence of drugs on neuron activities. Accessing human brain tissue to study neuron activities has historically been challenging due to ethical concerns.
