The CEACAM family participates in epithelial homeostasis through cell adhesion, receptor signaling, and immune regulation. CEACAM5 and CEACAM6 are aberrantly overexpressed in multiple solid tumors and provide important targets for tumor biomarkers, antibody-drug conjugates, and cellular ...
Under the combined constraints of “aryl/heteroaryl chlorides (Ar–Cl) + low Pd loading + scale-up reproducibility,” the most common source of instability does not necessarily show up as “a complicated mechanism,” but rather as a more straightforward engineering issue: whether the mode ...
β-Galactosidase (β-galactosidase, EC 3.2.1.23) is a glycoside hydrolase family that catalyzes hydrolysis of β-D-galactosidic bonds. It can cleave lactose and related substrates into monosaccharides and, under certain conditions, carry out transgalactosylation to generate products such as ...
β-Lactamases are a family of enzymes that hydrolyze the β-lactam ring and inactivate β-lactam antibacterial agents, constituting a major molecular basis for acquired bacterial resistance. β-Lactam antibiotics primarily target penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) and disrupt peptidoglycan ...
α-Amylase (α-amylase) is a class of glycoside hydrolases widely distributed in animals, plants, and microorganisms. Acting in an endo-fashion, it catalyzes cleavage of α-1,4-glycosidic bonds in starch, glycogen, and related α-1,4-glucans, generating products such as maltose, maltotriose, and ...
The IGFBP family regulates the stability, tissue distribution, and receptor accessibility of IGFs, participates in metabolism, fibrosis, cardiovascular diseases, and tumor progression, and has potential value as disease biomarkers.
Tumor organoids can retain some of the histological features, driver alterations, and clonal differences of a patient’s tumor, providing expandable human-derived models for studying tumor evolution, therapeutic sensitivity, and mechanisms of drug resistance.
HMGB1 converts cellular damage into inflammatory and chemotactic signals and regulates tumor immunity, tumor stemness, and therapy tolerance through TLRs, RAGE, and CXCR4.
This is where four-membered-ring building blocks are particularly valuable. They are compact and rigid and can alter molecular properties through relatively small structural changes. Cyclobutanes, oxetanes, and azetidines are already widely used in drug discovery. Thietanes have historically ...
