A selective small-molecule STAT5 PROTAC degrader capable of achieving tumor regression in vivo

Nature Chemical Biology, Published online: 02 February 2023; doi:10.1038/s41589-022-01248-4A potent and selective degrader was developed that depletes STAT5 in cells and mouse tissues, exerts cell growth inhibition in cells with activated STAT5 and induces tumor regression in mouse models.

Etoposide promotes DNA loop trapping and barrier formation by topoisomerase II

Nature Chemical Biology, Published online: 30 January 2023; doi:10.1038/s41589-022-01235-9Using single-molecule biophysics methods, Le et al. discovered that etoposide, a chemotherapeutic poison of topoisomerase II (topo II), promotes topo II to compact DNA, trap DNA loops and pause DNA supercoiling relaxation, thus converting topo II into a strong...
