In patients with chronic hepatitis Delta, the LGP2 Q425R variant (rs2074158 CC/CT genotypes), associated with an enhanced interferon response in vitro, becomes progressively less frequent as liver disease advances from no cirrhosis to cirrhosis, and to cirrhosis with progressive increase of portal hypertension evaluated by thrombocytopenia.

Covalent drug discovery: Progress against key targets, emerging strategies and lessons learnt
Abstract Covalent drug discovery is currently experiencing a boom in industrial and academic interest. To date, at least 75 covalent drugs have received regulatory approval, targeting both traditional target classes and more challenging proteins for which other approaches failed. In many cases, unique aspects of covalent targeting are essential for the

Targeting protein–protein interactions with reversible covalent modalities: Non‐cysteine chemistries
Abstract Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are central to diverse cellular functions, and represent a rapidly expanding class of therapeutic targets. Advancements in covalent drug design have enabled small‐molecule drugs to overcome challenges associated with engaging these targets, such as limited durations of action and difficult‐to‐drug (expansive,

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a diverse population of membrane nanoparticles secreted by nearly all cell types, playing a key role in intercellular communication by transferring bioactive macromolecular cargo. In cancer, EVs shape both the local tumour microenvironment and distant premetastatic niches.
