Programmable protein degraders enable selective knockdown of pathogenic β-catenin subpopulations in vitro and in vivo

Aberrant activation of Wnt signaling results in unregulated accumulation of cytosolic β-catenin, which subsequently enters the nucleus and promotes transcription of genes that contribute to cellular proliferation and malignancy. Here, we sought to eliminate pathogenic β-catenin f...

A Mammalian High-Throughput Screen for AI-Designed Peptide-Guided Protein Degraders

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) offers a route to eliminate disease-driving proteins that remain inaccessible to conventional inhibitors. However, degrader discovery remains low-throughput, labor-intensive, and dependent on randomized libraries or non-human display systems, li...
