Targeting Protein Phosphatase-5 in Cancer
This technology introduces a novel approach to cancer treatment by targeting Protein Phosphatase 5 (PP5) to regulate apoptosis and inhibit tumor growth, particularly in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
Background:
Cancer cells often evade programmed cell death, allowing tumors to grow unchecked. In clear cell renal cell carcinoma, dysregulation...

Targeting Hypoxia-inducible factor 2alpha in cancer
This technology offers a novel approach for new cancer treatments based on inhibiting HIF2α-related processes.
Background:
Hypoxia-inducible factor 2α (HIF2α) transcription factor is involved in the adaptation of cancer cells (including clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC)) to low oxygen conditions (hypoxia). It plays a role...

Targeting the Folding of Hsp90 Clients by Predicting Their Local Unfolding Status
Computationally predicts potential ideal interaction points for the molecular chaperone heat shock protein-90 (Hsp90).
Background:
Molecular chaperones assist in the folding of unfolded and misfolded polypeptides by stabilization of folding intermediates and prevention of protein misfolding and aggregation. Molecular chaperones are present in all...
