Unlocking Cancer's Weak Spot: The MALT1 Protein

Imagine a tiny protein called MALT1. It's like a key player in a game of cancer survival. This protein is part of a group of enzymes called cysteine proteases. It's unique because it's the only paracaspase in humans. This means it has a special role in helping certain types of cancer cells stay alive and grow. These cancers are driven by a pathway called NF-κB. Two t...
