It involves the buildup of too much extracellular matrix (ECM) and is activated by hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). The transforming growth factor-β1...

Neuroblastoma (NB) is a formidable challenge in pediatric oncology due to its intricate molecular landscape, necessitating multifaceted therapeutic approaches. ONC201 is an imipridone antibiotic compound with a promising drug candidate leveraging its potent anticancer properties against the mitochondrial proteases ClpP and ClpX. Despite demonstrating early clinical promise, particularly in MYCN -amplified NB, its efficacy in n...
