Abstract
Thalidomide and related drugs are key drugs for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). These agents bind to cereblon, a component of a ubiquitin ligase complex, altering the specificity of the complex to induce the ubiquitylation and degradation of Ikaros (IKZF1) and Aiolos (IKZF3), transcription factors essential for MM growth.Entities:
