Targeting Transcription Factors and Oncogenic Proteins for Cancer Therapy (2nd Edition)

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The activation of oncogenic transcription factors (NF-κB, STAT3, STAT5, AP-1, etc.) and proteins (Ras, Raf, Src, etc.) plays an important role in tumorigenesis. The mechanisms regulating the activation of these transcription factors and proteins are complex and constantly evolving. This Special Issue will explore the role of oncogenic transcription factors/proteins in carcinogenesis and highlight novel pharmacological strategies that can be used to target them, subsequently mitigating the processes of abnormal proliferation and survival of tumor cells.
