Zinc finger proteins (ZFPs), a vast superfamily of sequence-specific DNA and RNA-binding proteins, serve as master regulators of gene expression and cellular homeostasis. While traditionally studied for their roles in development, ZFPs have emerged as critical effectors and therapeutic targets across a wide spectrum of human pathologies, including cancer, neurological disorders, and autoimmune diseases. This review systematically dissects the molecular mechanisms by which dysregulated ZFP activi...
