Degradation is a therapeutic strategy that could offer possibilities to get at currently undruggable target proteins. In targeted degradation, compounds induce interactions between a target protein and a protein that can tag the target for degradation. In principle, there are several pathways that could be used for such tagging; the most attention has gone to ubiquitin ligases, in particular cereblon, a protein that is part of a ubiquitin ligase complex and the target of several approved drugs.

In recognition of the fact that diversity, equity and inclusion are necessary prerequisites for precision medicine, the European Academy of Neurology announced the launch of a DEI Hub at its 11th Congress, which is being held in Helsinki through June 24.
At the 11th Congress of the European Academy of Neurology, which was held in Helsinki June 21 to June 24, researchers presented new data on using CAR T cells in autoimmune neurological conditions.

In recognition of the fact that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are necessary prerequisites for precision medicine, the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) announced the launch of a DEI Hub at its 11th Congress, which is being held in Helsinki through June 24. “We know now that when we talk about personalized medicine, we have to understand that talking about stroke, for example, in a woman is different than talking about stroke in a man,” EAN president Elena Moro told the audience at the opening session of the conference.
“The lack of therapeutic precision in treatment of myeloid malignancies is in sharp contrast with the fact that myeloid cancers represent the perhaps best characterized cancers of all at the cellular, molecular, and genetic levels,” Johanna Olweus told her audience at the Friday plenary session of the European Hematology Association 2025 Annual Congress.

Researchers at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging have developed an epigenetic clock that could predict an individual’s intrinsic capacity score, a composite score that is a measure of healthy aging. The clock, which has only limited overlap with other epigenetic clocks, could be “a surrogate for aging that can be used for clinical trials,” senior author David Furman told BioWorld. And even more basically, it could help address a basic conundrum: that aging is the major risk factor for most causes of death, but not itself a disease.
