Integrins are transmembrane receptors that have been implicated in the biology of various human physiological and pathological processes.These molecules facilitate cell-extracellular matrix and cell-cell interactions,and they have been implicated in fibrosis,inflammation,thrombosis,and tu-mor metastasis.The role of integrins in tumor progression makes them promising targets for cancer treat-ment,and certain integrin antagonists,such as antibodies and synthetic peptides,have been effectively utilized in the clinic for cancer therapy.Here,we discuss the evidence and knowledge on the contribution of integrins to cancer biology.Furthermore,we summarize the clinical attempts targeting this family in anti-cancer therapy development.

Protein arginine methyltransferases(PRMTs)have been implicated in the progression of many diseases.Understanding substrate recognition and specificity of individual PRMT would facilitate the discovery of selective inhibitors towards future drug discovery.
Despite considerable progresses in cancer treatment,tumor metastasis is still a thorny issue,which leads to majority of cancer-related deaths.In hematogenous metastasis,the concept of“seed and soil”suggests that the crosstalk between cancer cells(seeds)an

Multidrug resistance(MDR)mediated by ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1(ABCB1)is significantly hindering effective cancer chemotherapy.However,currently,no ABCB1-inhibitory drugs have been approved to treat MDR cancer clinically,mainly due to the i
Solid tumors are complex entities,comprising a wide variety of malignancies with very different molecular alterations.Despite this,they share a set of characteristics known as“hallmarks of cancer”that can be used as common therapeutic targets.Thus,every t
Nicotinic α4β2 receptor antagonists have drawn increasing attention in the development of new antidepressants.In this study,we aimed to investigate the protective effect of VMY-2-95,the new selective antagonist of α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor(nAC
