Journal ArticleDOI

Cysteine cathepsins: From structure, function and regulation to new frontiers

TL;DR: The view of cysteine cathepsins as lysosomal proteases is changing as there is now clear evidence of their localization in other cellular compartments, and some of the remarkable advances that have taken place in the past decade are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emerging roles of cysteine cathepsins in disease and their potential as drug targets.

TL;DR: The current view on cathepsins as an emerging group of targets for several diseases and the development ofCathepsin K and S inhibitors for treatment of osteoporosis and various immune disorders are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor Cell–Derived and Macrophage-Derived Cathepsin B Promotes Progression and Lung Metastasis of Mammary Cancer

TL;DR: It is shown that mouse mammary tumor virus-polyoma middle T antigen (PyMT) transgenic mice deficient for the cysteine protease cathepsin B (CTSB) exhibited a significantly delayed onset and reduced growth rate of mammary cancers compared with wild-type PyMT mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor-specific activation of an EGFR-targeting probody enhances therapeutic index.

TL;DR: The development of a Probody that targets epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) only in the presence of tumor is reported, with markedly improved safety and increased half-life in nonhuman primates, enabling it to be dosed safely at much higher levels than cetuximab.
