Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are engineered techniques for targeted protein
degradation. A bifunctional PROTAC molecule with two covalently-linked ligands recruits …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of gene expression that bind complementary
target mRNAs and repress their expression. Precursor miRNA molecules undergo nuclear …

The formation of pre-metastatic niche is a key step in the metastatic burden. The pluripotent
factor Lin28B is frequently expressed in breast tumors and is particularly upregulated in the …

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are key players in post-transcriptional events. The
combination of versatility of their RNA-binding domains with structural flexibility enables …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are heterogeneous membranous particles released from the
cells through different biogenetic and secretory mechanisms. We now conceive EVs as …

Transposable elements (TEs) are an abundant and rich genetic resource of regulatory
sequences,–. Cryptic regulatory elements within TEs can be epigenetically reactivated in …

Abstract Interleukin 6 (IL-6) has a broad effect on cells of the immune system and those not
of the immune system and often displays hormone-like characteristics that affect homeostatic …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators of gene expression. Amplification and
overexpression of individual'oncomiRs' or genetic loss of tumour suppressor miRNAs are …

Cancer has long been viewed as a disease of normal development gone awry. Cancer stem-
like cells (CSCs), also termed as tumor-initiating cells (TICs), are increasingly recognized as …

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has emerged as a major cause of cancer-related death. Its
mortality has increased in Western populations, with a minority of patients diagnosed at …
