“…Proteasomal inhibitors such as bortezomib, ixazomib, and carfilzomib are established chemotherapies used in multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma patients with tolerable toxicity [ 8 , 9 ]. The efficacy of proteasomal inhibition is dependent on the sensitivity to the deregulation of protein-degradation systems as in the antibody-producing plasma cells.…”
