The αC-β4 Loop Structure of HER2 in Lung Cancer: Decoding the Key to Overcoming Resistance in Targeted Therapy

The αC-β4 Loop Structure of HER2 in Lung Cancer: Decoding the Key to Overcoming Resistance in Targeted Therapy

Abstract National Natural Science Foundation Project Report HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations (HER2 20ins) are the most common type of HER2 mutations in lung cancer, accounting for 62%-90%. However, the response rate of these patients to existing targeted drugs (such as TKIs) is only 10%-30%, and the mechanisms of resistance have long been unclear. The … Read more

Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs): A Comprehensive Analysis from Basics to Frontiers

Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs): A Comprehensive Analysis from Basics to Frontiers

Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) are precision anti-cancer drugs that combine the targeting ability of antibodies with potent cytotoxic agents, achieving precise strikes against tumor cells through a “biological missile” design. As of July 2025, a total of 19 ADC drugs have been approved globally, widely used in the treatment of various cancers such as breast cancer … Read more

New Pathway for ADCs – Dual Payload ADCs

New Pathway for ADCs - Dual Payload ADCs

Currently, all marketed ADC drug molecules use a single small molecule toxin as the effective payload, but challenges such as drug resistance and limited therapeutic effects still exist. Therefore, clinical chemotherapy regimens often employ combinations of multiple drugs for combination therapy. Considering the clinical efficacy of combination chemotherapy, ADC drugs with two or more effective … Read more

Mechanisms of ADC Resistance and Countermeasures

Mechanisms of ADC Resistance and Countermeasures

ADC (Antibody-drug conjugate) is a new type of drug for cancer treatment. It is a complex formed by combining anti-tumor drugs with antibodies, allowing for precise delivery of the drug into tumor cells, thereby achieving targeted treatment of tumor cells. However, with the widespread application of ADCs, research has found that the issue of ADC … Read more
