Innovative approach for repositioning misplaced proteins

New TRAMs approach for disease treatment.

Cells rely on proteins being in the right place to function properly. Misplaced proteins can contribute to diseases like cancer. A Stanford team, led by Steven Banik, has developed TRAMs—molecules that guide proteins back to their correct locations. This could lead to new treatments for diseases caused by protein misplacement.
