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…

Heat shock protein (Hsp) 90 is a chaperone protein. In addition to protecting cells by correcting misfolded proteins, Hsp90 also plays a key role in regulating the stability, maturation, and…
Somatostatin (SST) is a peptide hormone, which can regulate the endocrine system. Specifically, Somatostatin affects neurotransmission and cell proliferation by interacting with G protein-coupled somatostatin receptors and inhibiting multiple releases.…
Cysteine proteases implicate in apoptosis and cytokine processing. Caspase-8 is a member of the cysteine proteases. In particular, Caspase-8 is the molecular switch for apoptosis, necroptosis and pyroptosis. Z-LE(OMe)TD(OMe)-FMK is…
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…
Src homology 2 domain-containing phosphatase (SHP2) is a phosphatase that mediates signaling downstream of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases. SHP2 suppresses signaling through the MAPK pathway. Furthermore, SHP2 inhibition has demonstrated…
The glyoxalase system is a ubiquitous enzymatic network that plays important role in biological life. The glyoxalase system consists of glyoxalase 1 (GLO1), glyoxalase 2 (GLO2), and reduced glutathione (GSH).…
Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) is a key regulator of the heat shock response. Especially, HSF1 plays an important role in various cancers. In this study, researchers described the identification…
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most cancer worldwide, with a continuously increasing incidence. HCC represents a hyper vascularized tumor and its progression is closely related to angiogenesis. Hepatocellular carcinoma…
The pseudokinase Mixed Lineage Kinase domain-like (MLKL) is an essential effector protein in the necroptotic cell death pathway downstream of the protein kinase Receptor Interacting Protein Kinase-3 (RIPK3). RIPK3–mediated phosphorylation of…
