Research advances of lactylation modification in breast cancer.

Breast cancer (BC), a leading cause of cancer mortality in women, involves complex molecular mechanisms including post-translational modifications (PTMs). While common PTMs are well-studied, lactylation-a novel PTM linking metabolism to epigenetics-has emerged as a critical regulator in BC pathogenesis. The high concentration of lactate caused by the Warburg effect makes lactylation in tumor tissue possible. Machine learning enhances the discovery and analysis of lactylation sites by processing large datasets, revealing patterns that influence tumor behavior and patient outcomes. This review o

Melflufen: A Peptide-Drug Conjugate for the Treatment of Multiple Myeloma.

Despite the availability of new therapies that have led to improved outcomes for patients with multiple myeloma, most patients will eventually relapse. With triplet and even quadruplet combination therapies becoming standard in the first and second line, many patients will have few treatment options after second-line treatment. Melflufen (melphalan flufenamide) is a first-in-class peptide-drug conjugate (PDC) that targets aminopeptidases and rapidly releases alkylating agents into tumor cells. Once inside the tumor cells, melflufen is hydrolyzed by peptidases to release alkylator molecules, wh

Targeting of mitochondrial fission through natural flavanones elicits anti-myeloma activity.
