Abstract
Yang et al. developed a proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) 753b, which targets BCL-xL and BCL-2 to the E3 ubiquitin ligase VHL, and showed that it removed senescent cells specifically from the liver, reducing the progression of chronic metabolic liver disease to liver cancer.
期刊介绍:
Nature Reviews Cancer, a part of the Nature Reviews portfolio of journals, aims to be the premier source of reviews and commentaries for the scientific communities it serves. The correct abbreviation for abstracting and indexing purposes is Nat. Rev. Cancer. The international standard serial numbers (ISSN) for Nature Reviews Cancer are 1474-175X (print) and 1474-1768 (online). Unlike other journals, Nature Reviews Cancer does not have an external editorial board. Instead, all editorial decisions are made by a team of full-time professional editors who are PhD-level scientists. The journal publishes Research Highlights, Comments, Reviews, and Perspectives relevant to cancer researchers, ensuring that the articles reach the widest possible audience due to their broad scope.
