In the business news section of this week’s episode, Axiom Biosciences recently announced its plans to go public and made headlines for its plans to do so on the Hong Kong Exchange rather than a U.S. market. We dig into the company’s reasoning. Then we turn our attention to Latigo’s report of positive Phase IIb data for its non-opioid acute pain candidate, and its plans to go through a planned IPO soon. Switching to some science news, we discuss findings from a study that identified genetic risk factors for fibromyalgia syndrome as well as links to other neurodegenerative, autoimmune, and metabolic diseases. And lastly, a potential base editing therapy for Huntington’s disease that has shown promise in mice.
