Excerpt

Mutational inactivation of p53 occurs in only around 20% of human breast cancers, suggesting other mechanisms for loss of p53 function in these tumours. Although much work has been performed on the control of p53 degradation, information is lacking regarding factors which regulate p53 synthesis.Class I homeobox (HOX) genes are a family of regulatory genes encoding transcription factors that primarily play a crucial role during development. Several indications suggest their involvement in the control of cell growth and, when dysregulated, oncogenesis. …

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on antibody–drug conjugates in cancer

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel agents that have shown promise across multiple tumor types. Explore the current landscape of ADCs in breast and lung cancer with our experts, and gain insights into the mechanism of action, key clinical trials data, existing challenges, and future directions.
