In the early 20th century, Paul Ehrlich first proposed the famous “magic bullet” theory, suggesting that drugs could be developed to specifically target pathogenic structures without harming normal tissues and cells. Subsequently, the concept of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) was introduced, combining the target specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the anti-tumor properties of cytotoxic molecules. After … Read more
