Inflammatory and Immune Diseases

• Inflammatory immune diseases have gained much attention as the incidence has grown each year. These diseases can affect many parts of the human bodies and reduce quality of life drastically. However, diagnoses can be frustrating and stressful because no one is sure what causes such diseases.
  The preclinical pharmacology department of Medicilon has been active in this field for many years, and has provided a variety of stable and reliable animal models for different targets and pathways for the evaluation of inflammatory immune disease treatments in order to support successful clinical translation.

RA, rheumatoid arthritis

• RA is a chronic and systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease mainly targeting joints. It has a very high disability rate butthe cause of the disease is still unclear.

Psoriasis

• Psoriasis is a common skin disease that occurs worldwide. It is a disease that is not only closely related to genetics, but is also related to the environment.
  Medicilon has established diverse models that captures key features of psoriasis, including:IL-23 induced hyperplasia of auricle epidermis miceImiquimod induced psoriasis miceVaginal epithelial mitosis miceTale exfoliation mice

Atopic Dermatitis (AD)

• Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, recurring, inflammatory skin disease, often accompanied by other symptoms such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, eczema, etc. The cause of the disease is not yet clear and there is no cure.
  The disease related models include:DNFB induced chronic dermatitis miceDNFB & OX induced chronic dermatitis micePhorbol ester induced acute eczema miceDNFB induced acute eczema mice

IBD, Inflammatory Bowel Disease

• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of unexplained chronic intestinal inflammatory diseases. Due to the increasing incidence, it has become a common digestive system disease and is refered to as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s Disease.
  Our IBD models includes:TNBS induced IBD ratsDSS induced IBD mice

FAQs

• What is a JAK inhibitor？

  Small molecule drugs targeting JAKs.

  Various small molecule inhibitors have been developed for applications in autoimmune diseases. Based on their selectivity and different targets, they can be categorized as non-selective, selective, and compound types.
