Abstract
The ubiquitin-proteosome system (UPS) regulates a wide range of cellular processes including protein degradation, DNA repair, transcription regulation, and cell signaling. Alterations and mutations in UPS components give rise to various human diseases, most prominently cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Here, we review recent advances in UPS-based drug discovery highlighting the emerging relationships between the UPS and disease and discuss potential future therapeutic interventions. In particular, we focus on recent structural approaches in UPS and explain how the knowledge of protein structural details can guide the design of specifically targeted inhibitors.

Advances in the Molecular Pathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
This thematic issue will emphasize the recent breakthroughs in the mechanisms of Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis and devotes some understanding of both Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis. It is expected to include studies about cellular and genetic aspects, which help to precipitate the disease, and the immune system-gut microbiome relations ...read more
Blood-based biomarkers in large-scale screening for neurodegenerative diseases
Disease biomarkers are necessary tools that can be employ in several clinical context of use (COU), ranging from the (early) diagnosis, prognosis, prediction, to monitor of disease state and/or drug efficacy. Regarding neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a battery of well-validated biomarkers are available, such as cerebrospinal fluid ...read more
