Jazz to Buy Actio Biosciences for $820M, Betting on a Rare Genetic Epilepsy
The deal adds ABS-1230, an oral drug for KCNT1-related epilepsy that has no approved treatment — Jazz’s second epilepsy acquisition in a year.
A Cambridge study explains an obesity-drug paradox — the GIPR receptor does opposite jobs in different brain regions, so agonists and antagonists both work.

By tracking some patients for up to 25 years, Sanger Institute researchers found DNA changes that flag which slow-growing blood cancers will progress — long before symptoms.
Stanford researchers coaxed immune cells into a tumor-infiltrating form — without genetic engineering — that penetrated cancers better and, paired with an antibody drug, sharply slowed growth in mice.
The renewed alliance keeps subspecialty expertise, tumor conferences and clinical-trial access available to patients closer to home, with new local cancer services coming this autumn.
A study of a rare fat-loss disorder shows healthy fat tissue is metabolically vital — and when it becomes inflamed and disappears, diabetes can follow.
European regulators have validated the marketing application for a six-valent Lyme vaccine that showed more than 70% efficacy in a 9,437-person Phase 3 trial. No human Lyme vaccine is currently approved.
The Series C, backed by Eli Lilly and Bristol Myers Squibb, will advance a FAP-targeted radiotherapeutic for sarcoma and expand a pipeline of precision radioligand drugs.
The agency paused testing of RGX-121 after spinal MRI abnormalities turned up in patients treated years ago — the second clinical hold on a Regenxbio program in 2026.
Vanderbilt and TGen researchers used spatial transcriptomics on biopsy tissue to expose molecular variation within the same rejection grades — and flag who won’t respond to standard therapy.
By fusing therapeutic antibodies to albumin, researchers cut how much of the drug crosses the placenta — without sacrificing the long-lasting effect that makes these medicines useful.
The deal hands Argenx FB102, an anti-CD122 antibody with early data in vitiligo and celiac disease, deepening its push into autoimmune diseases.
