TPP-1 is a Potent Inhibitor of the PD-1/PD-L1 Interaction
PD-L1 is expressed in many types of cancers. And its high expression in tumor cells or presence in TME can be indicative of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Blockade of PD-1/PD-L1 can…

Mitochondria provide cellular energy through its oxidative phosphorylation system, which needs to coordinate the expression of genes encoded by nuclear and mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA). Specifically, the transcription of mtDNA in…
Aberrant expression of classical HDACs associates with a variety of malignancies, including solid and hematological tumors. HDACs have also been found broadly dysregulated in multiple myeloma (MM). In particular, the…
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a growth-factor-receptor tyrosine kinase. Elevated levels of the EGFR, and/or its cognate ligands act as a common component of multiple cancer types and appear…
Hu antigen R (HuR) is an RNA binding protein. Specifically, Its overexpression in human cancer is associated with aggressive disease, drug resistance, and poor prognosis. HuR is highly abundant in…
Lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Members of the ERBB receptor tyrosine kinase family include EGFR, HER2, HER3, and HER4. They present an attractive option…
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and inflammatory steatohepatitis (NASH) comprise a series of manifestations that span from reversible hepatic steatosis to progressive necroinflammatory and fibrotic disease. There exists a clear…
Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs) play critical roles in embryogenesis, normal physiology, and several diseases. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a transmembrane protein with cytoplasmic kinase activity that transduces important…
Targeted protein degradation is an emerging strategy to use small molecules to knock down a protein by hijacking the ubiquitin-proteasome system. PROTACs are bifunctional degrader molecules. They compose a ligand…
Focal adhesion tyrosine kinase (PTK2) is a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase. PTK2 plays an important role in adhesion, spreading, motility, invasion, metastasis, survival, angiogenesis, epithelial to mesenchymal transition, cancer stem…
