Cellular parameters shaping pathways of targeted protein degradation

open access: yesCommunications Biology
In recent years the development of proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) has enhanced the field of ubiquitin signalling through advancing therapeutic targeted protein degradation (TPD) strategies and generating tools to explore the ubiquitin landscape.

Advancing cancer immunotherapy: Small-Molecule, biomacromolecular, and nanoscale PROTACs targeting PD-L1 for degradation

open access: yesMaterials Today Advances
Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a key immune checkpoint protein that enables tumor immune evasion by engaging PD-1 on T cells, thereby inhibiting their cytotoxic function.

MYC Addiction as a Targetable Vulnerability in Nelarabine‐Resistant T‐Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
MYC drives nelarabine resistance in T‐ALL via a hyperactive transcriptional program. Pharmacological degradation of BET proteins dismantles this addiction, restoring drug sensitivity and extending survival in vivo. ABSTRACT Acquired resistance represents a fundamental obstacle limiting the long‐term efficacy of cancer chemotherapy.

Lock, relax, load, and shoot: a molecular perspective on Nedd4 regulation

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Structural basis of inactive and active states of the Nedd4 HECT E3 ligase subfamily, following a ‘lock, relax, load, and shoot’ mechanism. In the locked, autoinhibited state, intramolecular domain interactions restrain the HECT domain. Relaxation releases these restraints, allowing loading of ubiquitin onto the catalytic cysteine, followed by the ...

Cilia in Nervous System Development, Function, and Disease

open access: yesMedComm – Future Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Cilia are evolutionarily conserved organelles that function as essential sensory and motility platforms in the nervous system. This review outlines key cilia‐dependent signaling pathways and their roles in neural development and function. Furthermore, it highlights how ciliary dysfunction can lead to a variety of neurological disorders, known as ...

Recent Advances in Nanomedicine: Cutting-Edge Research on Nano-PROTAC Delivery Systems for Cancer Therapy

open access: yesPharmaceutics
Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) selectively degrade target proteins by recruiting intracellular E3 ubiquitin ligases, overcoming the limitations of traditional small-molecule inhibitors that merely block protein function.

Direct Intracellular Delivery of Cell Impermeable Probes of Protein Glycosylation Using Nanostraws [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Bioorthogonal chemistry is an effective tool for elucidating metabolic pathways and measuring cellular activity, yet its use is currently limited by the difficulty of getting probes past the cell membrane and into the cytoplasm, especially if more ...

Oxidative Stress and DNA Epigenetic Modifications in Cancer: Mechanisms and Targeted Therapeutics

open access: yesMedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) modulate DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), ten‐eleven translocation family proteins (TETs) and their cofactors, reshaping 5‐methylcytosine (5mC)/5‐hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)/5‐formylcytosine (5fC) landscapes and gene expression in cancer cells. In turn, epigenetic control of antioxidant and metabolic pathways feeds back on
