Researchers have discovered a new cancer treatment approach that targets the interaction between ERK and MyD88 proteins, rather than enzyme activity, to induce cancer cell death and activate the immune system. This method, tested in mouse models and patient-derived cells, offers a dual benefit of reducing tumor size and enhancing immune response, potentially minimizing side effects and recurrence. The study, published in Nature Communications, suggests this strategy could complement existing therapies and is a promising step towards more effective cancer treatments.
