Success in enzyme research: New class of active compounds regulates inflammatory reactions

Inside cells, two important enzymes act like small central regulatory hubs: dipeptidyl peptidase 8 and 9—DPP8/9 for short. Among other things, they regulate inflammatory reactions and influence whether a cell survives or dies. These mechanisms are especially important in cancer cells.
