Recent advances in targeting the “undruggable” proteins: from drug discovery to clinical trials
Undruggable proteins are a class of proteins that are often characterized by large, complex
structures or functions that are difficult to interfere with using conventional drug design …

EZH2 noncanonically binds cMyc and p300 through a cryptic transactivation domain to mediate gene activation and promote oncogenesis
Canonically, EZH2 serves as the catalytic subunit of PRC2, which mediates H3K27me3
deposition and transcriptional repression. Here, we report that in acute leukaemias, EZH2 …

Human embryonic genome activation initiates at the one-cell stage
In human embryos, the initiation of transcription (embryonic genome activation [EGA]) occurs
by the eight-cell stage, but its exact timing and profile are unclear. To address this, we …
