14-3-3 proteins are an important family of hub that play roles in many cellular processes via a large network interactions with partner proteins. Many these protein-protein (PPI) implicated human diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration. The stabilisation selected PPIs using drug-like 'molecular glues' is novel therapeutic strategy high potential. However, the examples reported to date have number drawbacks terms selectivity potency. Here, we report WR-1065, active species approved drug...

Colorectal cancer is primarily a disease of the developed world. The incidence rate has continued to increase over time, reflecting both demographic and lifestyle changes, which have resulted in genomic epigenomic modifications. Many epigenetic modifications occur genes known be closely associated with embryonic development cellular growth. In particular, paired box (PAX) transcription factors are crucial for correct tissue during embryogenesis due their role regulating involved...
