- be able to explain to me what the prognosis and treatment options are
- respect my values for my own care and enforce informed...

Repurposing simeprevir uncovers a druggable KPNB1-p65-BCL2 survival axis in cancer
Drug repurposing can uncover unexpected therapeutic opportunities in cancer. Li et al. identify the antiviral drug simeprevir as an inhibitor of KPNB1-mediated NF-κB signaling, uncovering a KPNB1-p65-BCL2 survival axis and establishing simeprevir as a promising therapeutic lead.
