Targeting the MNK1-MYH9 axis blocks YAP1 recruitment to prevent thrombosis and platelet activation-induced NETosis

MNK1 acts as a structural shield on MYH9, preventing YAP1-mediated platelet activation. Developing MD2 to lock this MNK1-MYH9 complex introduces a safe antithrombotic strategy, shifting the therapeutic paradigm from kinase inhibition to stabilizing protein-protein interactions against immunothrombosis.
