cancerhemopathy 
development of selective MALT1 inhibitors as a rational strategy for the therapy of NF-kB-dependent type of cancer (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma DLBCL)
cancerhemopathy 
targeting MALT1 proteolytic activity raises the possibility of deploying MALT1 inhibitors for the treatment of B-cell lymphomas and perhaps autoimmune diseases that involve increased B- or T-cell receptor signaling
cancerhemopathy 
monoubiquitination of MALT1 is essential for its catalytic activation and is therefore a potential target for the treatment of ABC-DLBCL and for immunomodulation
