Engineered protein circuits for cancer therapy

A central challenge in cancer therapy is selectively killing cancer cells while minimizing resistance.

A central challenge in cancer therapy is selectively killing cancer cells while minimizing resistance. Here, we engineer modular protease-based protein circuits that sense mutant RAS, the most frequently mutated oncogene in cancer, and conditionally activate cell death.…
