IGF, an insulin-like growth factor, regulates cell growth, proliferation, and survival. The IGF system is made up of IGF1, IGF2, insulin, and corresponding receptors. It transmits abnormal signals to cause…
Apoptosis inhibitor proteins (IAP) represent a group of caspases and negative regulators of cell death. Particularly, the IAP protein family prevents cell death by binding to and inhibiting active caspases…
MDM2 and MDM4 have established cancer drug targets. Additionally, they are also inhibitors of p53 activity and are amplified in many cancer types. In particular, the targeting of MDM2–p53 interactions…
c-Met is a unique subfamily member of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) behaving as the receptor of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/scatter factor (SF). The HGF/c-Met signaling pathway plays important roles in…
CRLF2-rearranged (CRLF2r) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is relevant with a poor outcome in children and adults. CRLF2r-ALL accounts for more than half of Philadelphia chromosome-like (Ph-like) ALL. Noticeably, the overexpression…
AManzamine A is an orally active β-carboline alkaloid effective against HSV-1, Cancer, and Malaria. For HSV-1， It is estimated that approximately 80% of the population worldwide are carriers of HSV-1…
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) receptor is a transmembrane receptor. Specifically, it belongs to a large class of tyrosine kinase receptors. This receptor mediates the action of IGF-1, a polypeptide…
eIF4A is an enzymatic core of the eIF4F complex and an indispensable effector of the mTORC1 pathway. In the first place, eIF4A is a popular target for cancer treatments. Due…
Bax is an apoptosis regulator, belonging to the Bcl-2-like protein family. It controls mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis. Bax can promote apoptosis by forming a heterodimer with Bcl-2 to become a…
Inorganic elements play crucial roles in biomedical processes. Many inorganic elements such as transition metals have anticancer activities. Even though metal complexes are making progress against cancer, cisplatin (CDDP) remains…
