A small-molecule USP30 inhibitor protects against doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy
TS-075254 — Problem
Cardiomyopathy weakens the heart muscle and impairs its ability to pump blood effectively, often leading to heart failure or sudden cardiac death. While doxorubicin remains an essential component of many cancer regimens, its use is limited by the risk of causing lethal cardiomyopathy. A maj…
