Boronic Acid Inhibitors of β‐Lactamases: A Promising Strategy Against Antimicrobial Resistance
ABSTRACT The rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical threat to global health, mostly due to the proliferation of β‐lactamases, a class of enzymes responsible for the inactivation of β‐lactam antibiotics. Among the most promising strategies to restore β‐lactam efficacy is the use of β‐lactamase inhibitors (BLIs), with boronic acid ...

ABSTRACT Targeted elimination of pathogenic proteins remains a fundamental challenge in therapeutic intervention, particularly for proteins considered “undruggable” by conventional inhibition‐based approaches. Aptamer–based targeted protein degradation (TPD) has emerged as a versatile strategy that leverages the high specificity, structural ...

ABSTRACT Triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents the most aggressive subtype with limited therapeutic options and the poorest clinical outcomes. Using high‐resolution nUPLC‐QTOF‐MS/MS, we performed comprehensive proteomic profiling of TNBC cell lines representing disease progression stages: HCC‐1937 (stage IIB), HCC‐1599 (stage IIIA), and MDA ...

Proteo‐transcriptomic insights into the venom composition of the ectoparasitoid Eupelmus urozonus
Integrated venom‐gland transcriptomics and venom proteomics of Eupelmus urozonus identified 316 venom proteins, including 75 secreted candidates, revealing diverse hydrolases, proteases/inhibitors and many uncharacterized effectors. Abstract BACKGROUND Ectoparasitoid venoms are ‘cocktails’ of bioactive molecules injected during oviposition to paralyze ...
