Beyond the Carpet Bombing: The Rise of the Biological "Trojan Horse"
For decades, the biggest challenge in medicine wasn't just finding a drug that worked—it was getting that drug to the right "address" without destroying everything else along the way. Traditional chemotherapy, for instance, is often compared to carpet bombing: it kills the enemy, but it also devastates the surrounding city. As we move through 2026, a quiet revolution in Targeted...

Redesigning the Rules of Drug Discovery Through Protein Degradation
The rise of targeted protein degradation (TPD) has opened a new chapter in modern drug discovery. Unlike traditional inhibitors that merely block protein activity, degraders work by eliminating disease-causing proteins altogether through the ubiquitin–proteasome system. Behind this elegant mechanism lies a delicate balance between three essential components — linkers, ligands, and...
