Protein buildup may shape cancer drug response

The way cancer-causing proteins accumulate in tumors may influence how effectively a promising new generation of medicines can remove them, a study suggests. Researchers found that PROTAC (Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras) drugs were more effective at removing proteins that build up because they are not broken down properly than proteins that cancer cells continually produce in large amounts.
