Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Deregulation of transcription factor genes are frequently observed in various human diseases, such as cancer. Understanding the molecular pathogenesis, as well as the development of therapeutic approaches, are crucial to further advance the treatment outcome. Although the feasibility of transcription factors as therapeutic targets has long been realized, the development of drugs is still very challenging due to several pharmacological and biological reasons. Therefore, an improved knowledge is necessary to make transcription factors “actionable”. This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for the dissemination of the latest information on new approaches and methods targeting transcription factors, and with methods of testing their success in cancer or other human diseases.
