Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

5.9K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

Counterfactual Thinking01:19

Counterfactual Thinking

15
Counterfactual thinking is a cognitive process wherein individuals mentally reconstruct alternative versions of past events, often beginning with “what if” or “if only.” This reflective mechanism plays a significant role in shaping emotional experiences and guiding future behavior. Though typically triggered by unfavorable or unexpected outcomes, counterfactual thinking can also emerge in mundane, everyday decisions and experiences, revealing its deep entrenchment in...

Long-term Potentiation01:35

Long-term Potentiation

55.9K
Long-term potentiation, or LTP, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTP is the process of synaptic strengthening that occurs over time between pre- and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic strengthening of LTP works in opposition to the synaptic weakening of long-term depression (LTD) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Propagation of Action Potentials01:23

Propagation of Action Potentials

7.1K
The propagation of an action potential refers to the process by which a nerve impulse, or "action potential," travels along a neuron.
Neurons (nerve cells) have a resting membrane potential, with a slightly negative charge inside compared to outside. This is maintained by ion channels, such as sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) channels, which control the flow of ions. When a stimulus, like a touch or a signal from another neuron, triggers the neuron, sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions to...

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular Biology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are heterobifunctional molecules.
  • PROTACs induce proximity between a protein of interest (POI) and an E3 ubiquitin ligase.
  • This proximity leads to ubiquitination and degradation of the POI via the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review key advancements in targeted protein degradation (TPD).
  • To discuss lessons learned in PROTAC development.
  • To explore future directions for expanding the PROTAC toolbox for therapeutic applications.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of PROTAC technology and targeted protein degradation.
  • Analysis of PROTAC mechanism of action and advantages.
  • Discussion of current challenges and future prospects in PROTAC discovery.

Main Results:

  • PROTACs offer an event-driven mechanism of action distinct from occupancy-driven inhibitors.
  • Advantages include catalytic activity, reduced dosing, enhanced potency, improved selectivity, and efficacy against drug resistance.
  • PROTACs enable targeting of non-enzymatic functions and expand the druggable target space.

Conclusions:

  • Targeted protein degradation via PROTACs represents a significant therapeutic modality.
  • Continued innovation is needed to expand the PROTAC discovery toolbox.
  • Further development holds promise for novel therapeutic strategies.
