Researchers have optimised PROTAC substances to degrade and dispose of proteins that support cancers, by customising their structure and selecting the best ligases.
Using the ubiquitin-proteasome system to fight inflammatory conditions could provide more treatment options for patients. Dr Jared Gollob from Kymera Therapeutics explains why targeted protein degradation is the way forward for autoinflammatory and autoimmune disease therapies.
A new study has presented a potential strategy for a universal human cancer vaccine. This article delves into the researchers’ findings, exploring their methodologies and results.
Disrupted protein homeostasis from PI31 inactivation may initiate the process of neurodegeneration seen in Alzheimer’s, ALS and other similar diseases, says new research.
A novel approach to better understand a basic defence mechanism of the immune system has been developed using the ISG15 protein which could lead to novel antimicrobial drugs.
The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is a hierarchical enzymatic cascade that plays an essential role in a broad range of cellular pathways and is found in cytoplasmic and nuclear actions of all eukaryotic cells...
