New Therapy Harnesses Cells’ Waste Removal to Target Multiple Myeloma

Researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed an experimental molecule called an autophagy-targeting chimera (AUTAC) that dismantles the MCL1 survival protein to kill multiple myeloma cells. According to a study published in Cell Death & Disease, this targeted protein degrader works with existing proteasome inhibitors to reduce cancer cell viability by 50% within … Read more

Weight Loss Drugs May Prevent Obesity-Related Cancers
