Neighbours of cancer-related proteins have key influence on pathogenesis and could increase the drug target space for anticancer therapies

Cancer: Key proteins hiding in the neighbourhood Cancer is considered a systems disease in which the interactors of cancer-related proteins have a key role, also as targets to fight cancer. New therapeutic approaches are needed to improve success rates and to identify suitable proteins as novel, alt...
