(Nasdaq: GLUE), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel molecular glue degrader (MGD)-based medicines, today announced the company will present preclinical data on the potential of MRT-8102, a first-in-class, NEK7-directed MGD for inflammatory diseases driven by the NLRP3 inflammasome, at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2025, held November 7-10 in New Orleans, LA.","length":480,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"“These promising findings reinforce our belief in the highly differentiated profile of MRT-8102, the only clinical-stage degrader targeting NEK7, as a potential treatment for cardiovascular and cardiometabolic diseases such as pericarditis, atherosclerosis, and others,” said Sharon Townson, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Monte Rosa Therapeutics. “By modulating the NLRP3/IL-1/IL-6 pathway upstream of other approaches, MRT-8102 potently inhibited pyroptotic cell death and inhibited the release of multiple inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, MRT-8102 has the potential to block cholesterol crystal-induced cardiovascular inflammation characterized by pyroptosis and cytokine release that leads to atherosclerotic plaq...
