Animal Models of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic intestinal inflammatory condition that is mediated by genetic, immune, and environmental factors. Due to its long-term, relapsing course, IBD can result in repeated cycles of mucosal damage and repair, potentially increasing the risk of colorectal cancer over time. While current treatments focus on reducing inflammation, they are less …Read More >
Discovery of Molecular Glues: Challenges and Opportunities
Introduction: Molecular glues (MGs) are a class of small molecules that alter the surface properties of proteins to strengthen or induce protein-protein interactions (PPI), leading to specific biological effects like protein degradation, pathway inhibition, or activation. Their unique properties endow them with high selectivity and bioavailability, allowing for controlled drug release. Molecular glues show great …Read More >
