TL;DR

This review systematically summarizes the core regulatory mechanisms of PPIs in breast cancer, focusing on neomorphic interactions (neoPPIs) and hypomorphic interactions (hypoPPIs) induced by driver mutations, and dissecting their regulatory effects on key pathways such as apoptotic pathways, DNA damage repair, and hormone receptor signalling.

RIPK1 kinase and scaffold activities in tumor cell fate and therapy.

Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) plays a pivotal role in regulating cell survival and death, thereby exerting complex and multifaceted functions in the initiation and progression of cancer. Its expression is frequently dysregulated across diverse malignancies and correlates strongly with poor prognosis, hi...

Network analysis and drug repurposing reveal targets for combination therapy in drug resistant breast cancer

Multidrug resistance remains a major obstacle in cancer therapy and is driven by hyperactive efflux transporters and dysregulated signaling pathways. In this study, text mining and network analyses were performed to identify key genes associated with breast cancer drug resistance. Critical regulatory nodes were ide...
