TL;DR

The intrinsic role of LAMP2 in BLCA progression is clarified and MRGPRX4 modulator-2 (Mm-2), a LAMP2-binding small molecule with anti-tumor activity against BLCA, is identified as a candidate LAMP2-targeting agent acting on STING signaling via drug screening and molecular docking.

Matrine Suppresses Lung Cancer Progression via Dual Inhibition of CHEK1‐Mediated DNA Damage Repair and PI3K/AKT Survival Signaling

Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer‐related mortality worldwide, necessitating the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Matrine, a natural alkaloid derived from Sophora flavescens, has demonstrated broad antitumor properties, yet its underlying mechanisms, particularly concerning DNA damage response,...

Targeting the PRMT5-CBX8 axis overcomes dual barriers of CD8⁺ T cell exclusion and tumor stemness for sensitizing TNBC to anti-PD-1 therapy

A novel epigenetic pathway orchestrated by PRMT5 that converges on the functional modulation of CBX8 to synchronously governs CD8⁺ T cell exclusion and tumor stemness is unveiled, nominating PRMT5 inhibition as a compelling therapeutic strategy for combination immunotherapy in TNBC.

Targeting the nonenzymatic scaffold function of RIPK1 via a VHL-recruiting PROTAC synergizes with immunotherapy in melanoma.

Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) mediates cell survival, inflammation, and cell death, and its kinase-independent scaffolding function drives tumor progression and therapeutic resistance, which cannot be eliminated by conventional RIPK1 kinase inhibitors. To overcome this limitation, we adopted proteolysis...
