Do go read it all at FierceBiotech -- but good news for Kenilworth's diversifying pipeline efforts:
. . . .Launched in 2009 with backing from Third Rock and Pappas, with Kevin Starr taking the chairman’s role, San Mateo, CA-based Afferent specialized in targeting the P2X3 receptor as a pathway to treating a variety of neurogenic conditions. Hitting this target should damp down a process that oversensitizes certain sensory nerves. . . .
Keep it spinning in good karma, one and all!

Interesting, I would have thought that Merck captured all the IP on purinergic receptors when they picked up Inspire pharma.
Hmmm. . . I think, Anon. that the Inspire assets were sold by Merck to Akorn with the AzaSite assets, in late 2014.
But I could be wrong -- maybe only the AzaSite stuff went out to Akorn.
In any event, I do think that this is all new tech.
We shall see. Great eye!
Namaste, and do stop back. . .
