After decades of dreaming the drug developer's impossible dream, scientists finally are reporting progress in making drugs that target the "untouchables" among the body's key players in health and disease. The advances could lead to new treatments for cancer, diabetes, and other major diseases, they say. Scientists will describe advances toward these next-generation drugs during a special symposium, "Drugging the Undruggable," during the 240th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston.
