Abstract
Genomics and proteomics have unveiled a plethora of protein-protein interactions that may control cellular processes involved in disease development. Many of these interactions involve non-traditional candidate targets (i.e., neither enzymes nor cell surface receptors / channels). To date, non-traditional targets have largely been ignored by the pharmaceutical industry or have failed to lead to drugs. This review focuses on the use of transdominant genetically encoded agents and specialized small-molecule drugs to explore this void.

Programmed Cell Death Genes in Oncology: Pioneering Therapeutic and Diagnostic Frontiers (BMS-CGT-2024-HT-45)
Programmed Cell Death (PCD) is recognized as a pivotal biological mechanism with far-reaching effects in the realm of cancer therapy. This complex process encompasses a variety of cell death modalities, including apoptosis, autophagic cell death, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis, each of which contributes to the intricate landscape of cancer development and ...read more
