Imperial.Tech.Pitch: Affordable technologies for an ageing society
Hear from Imperial researchers about their technological solutions to support healthy ageing.
This event recording showcases research and technology such as biomechanics, cancer and vascular imaging, wireless neural transmitters, wound healing, and personalised medicine.
Catch up with this event chaired by Imperial's Dr Jonathan Jeffers, and produced by Imperial Enterprise.
Treatment of Tissue Fibrosis (10805, 11289)
Itaconate is encoded by the gene ACOD1 and plays a critical role in limiting fibrosis by inhibiting the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase. Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis have decreased expression of ACOD1 and reduced levels of itaconate in the airways. This invention provides compounds, itaconate and itaconate analogues that inhibit succinate dehydrogenase to treat or prevent fibrosis.
