Targeted protein degradation of PDE4 shortforms by a novel proteolysis targeting chimera
Here, we report KTX207, a previously undescribed cereblon‐based PDE4 PROTAC that can specifically target PDE4D shortform for degradation. We showed that KTX207 could improve selectivity, potency and enable a long‐lasting effect when used at a sub‐nanomolar concentration.

PI5P4K inhibitors: promising opportunities and challenges
Developing inhibitors is like climbing a steep, challenging mountain. PI5P4K inhibitors hold significant promise for the treatment of cancer, immune disorders, and neurological diseases. However, the path to success is fraught with hurdles, and researchers are therefore required to apply their expertise to overcome critical “checkpoints.” While some ...

Stimulation of S1PR5 with A-971432, a selective agonist, preserves blood-brain barrier integrity and exerts therapeutic effect in an animal model of Huntington's disease [PDF]
Huntington's disease (HD) is themost common neurodegenerative disorder for which no effective cure is yet available. Although several agents have been identified to provide benefits so far, the number of therapeutic options remains limited with only ...

A guide to heat shock factors as multifunctional transcriptional regulators
The heat shock factors (HSFs) are evolutionarily conserved transcription factors best known as regulators of molecular chaperone genes in response to heat shock and other protein‐damaging stresses. Vertebrate HSFs, HSF1‐5, HSFX, and HSFY, are implicated in various physiological and pathological processes, including organismal development and cancer ...

Applying antibodies inside cells: Principles and recent advances in neurobiology, virology and oncology [PDF]
To interfere with cell function, many scientists rely on methods that target DNA or RNA due to the ease with which they can be applied. Proteins are usually the final executors of function but are targeted only indirectly by these methods.
