Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alexej Dick"
- Alexej Dick's recent research focuses on developing novel therapeutic strategies for breast cancer brain metastases by targeting metabolic pathways, specifically through inhibition of acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2), which is crucial for tumor proliferation in the brain's unique environment.
- In the field of HIV treatment, Dick has explored the design and synthesis of various small-molecule modulators targeting the HIV capsid protein (CA), enhancing their potency and metabolic stability to provide more effective antiviral options against HIV-1.
- The research results contribute significantly to the understanding of viral lifecycle mechanisms and potential treatment avenues for both breast cancer and HIV, emphasizing the importance of novel compounds that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and improve therapeutic efficacy.*
