An Autophagy-Targeting Chimera Induces Degradation of Androgen Receptor Mutants and AR-v7 in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.

Genetic alterations play a pivotal role in various human diseases, particularly cancer. The androgen receptor (AR) is a crucial transcription factor driving prostate cancer (PCa) progression across all stages. Current AR-targeting therapies utilize competitive AR antagonists or pathway suppressors.

The preclinical discovery and development of bortezomib for the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an incurable, often aggressive B-cell malignancy. Bortezomib (BTZ), the 20S proteasome inhibitor was originally developed and approved for treatment of relapsed refractory multiple myeloma, and subsequently approved for treatment of MCL. BTZ's single-agent activity induces clinical responses in approximately one-third of relapsed MCL patients.
