Abstract

Non-infectious and chronic diseases such as malignant tumors are now one of the main causes of human death. Its occurrence is a multi-factor, multi-step complex process with biological characteristics such as cell differentiation, abnormal proliferation, uncontrolled growth, and metastasis. It has been found that a variety of human malignant tumors are accompanied by over-expression and proliferation of Aurora kinase, which causes abnormalities in the mitotic process and is related to the instability of the genome that causes tumors. Therefore, the use of Aurora kinase inhibitors to target tumors is becoming a research hotspot. However, in cancer, because of the complexity of signal transduction system and the participation of different proteins and enzymes, the anticancer effect of selective single-target drugs is limited. After inhibiting one pathway, signal molecules can be conducted through other pathways, resulting in poor therapeutic effect of single-target drug treatment. Multi-target drugs can solve this problem very well. It can regulate the various links that cause disease at the same time without completely eliminating the relationship between the signal transmission systems, and it is not easy to cause drug resistan...Continue Reading

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
