For decades, pharmaceutical pipelines have danced around one of biology’s most powerful but untouchable entities: transcription factors. These master regulators control gene expression and orchestrate cellular behavior, yet their structure and function have kept them out of reach for small molecule therapeutics. Unlike enzymes or receptors, transcription factors operate deep within the cell nucleus, often […]
