CDK2, SHP2 and YTHDF: chemical control and liability tradeoffs
How do INCB127443, DF142, an allosteric SHP2 scaffold, spirocyclic FAPI tracers and a BET series connect chemical substitutions to target engagement and biological performance?
Five specialists select new research papers. Rowan separately reports important news across the field. Each topic can include up to five significant papers per day, and the news digest up to five significant stories.
We publish when there is something worth reading. Dates show when each update was prepared. Our weekly editions bring the deeper reporting and analysis.
