Condensate biology: advancing drug discovery for complex diseases

Drug Target Review

Drug discovery is a complex and vital field that continually seeks to identify new therapeutic targets and develop effective treatments. They found that although the targets themselves may not be easily druggable due to their disordered nature, their ability to condense can be modulated using small molecules.
