To understand the mechanisms by which 15(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15(S)-HETE) activates Rac1 in the induction of angiogenesis, we studied the role of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl–coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase and αPix.

First Generation Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) for the Treatment of Progeria
We report the first PROTACs designed to degrade progerin, introducing a novel therapeutic approach for progeria. The best compound, UCM‐18142, significantly reduces progerin levels and improves key disease phenotypes in patient‐derived cells and in the LmnaG609G/G609G mouse model, paving the way for new treatment strategies targeting the root cause of ...

Statins and nitrogenous bisphosphonates (NBP) inhibit 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme-A reductase (HMGCR) and farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FDPS), respectively, leading to depletion of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) and disruption of protein prenylation.

Nucleic Acid Therapeutics for “Undruggable” Cancer Targets: Mechanisms, Challenges, and Prospects
Nucleic acid therapeutics bypass the structural limitations of conventional drugs by targeting mRNA rather than proteins. This review examines how antisense oligonucleotides, siRNAs, miRNAs, aptamers, and mRNA vaccines intervene against historically undruggable oncoproteins including Ras, MYC, and p53, highlighting mechanistic advances, delivery ...

Vacuolization as a Novel Approach to Cancer Therapy
This review discusses the novel strategy of inducing vacuole formation in cancer cells using small molecules, that induce nonapoptotic cell death mechanisms, such as paraptosis, oncosis, autophagy, and methuosis, and its potential in overcoming resistance to apoptosis‐based cancer therapies.
