Nanoparticle PTEN mRNA Therapy for Trastuzumab Resistance
2026-09-03
The reference study developed tumor-microenvironment-responsive nanoparticles for systemic PTEN mRNA delivery, aiming to restore tumor-suppressor activity and reverse trastuzumab resistance in HER2-positive breast cancer models. Its central contribution is the integration of pH-triggered PEG detachment, intracellular mRNA release, and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway inhibition into one delivery strategy.

Rapamycin and Ferroptosis: A Translational mTOR Lens
2026-09-02
Rapamycin (Sirolimus) is more than a canonical mTOR pathway reagent: it can serve as a causal probe for how growth, metabolism, immune activation, and mitochondrial stress intersect. This article places Rapamycin alongside sphingolipid–HIF-1 biology to help translational researchers separate established evidence from testable hypotheses.

Cyclosporin Variants in Mitochondrial Membranes
2026-08-29
The reference study compared cyclosporins B, C, D, and E using NMR spectroscopy, molecular dynamics, and calcium-dependent liver mitochondrial swelling assays. Its central finding was that cyclosporins B–D retained cyclosporin A-like mitochondrial pore inhibition, whereas the more rigid cyclosporin E was inactive, linking peptide flexibility with membrane-associated activity.

O-GlcNAcylation Rewires Glycolysis in Bone Formation
2026-08-28
The reference study identifies O-GlcNAcylation as a necessary metabolic and signaling intermediate in Wnt-stimulated osteoblastogenesis. Its key mechanistic finding is that Wnt3a modifies PDK1 at Ser174, stabilizing PDK1 and redirecting glucose metabolism toward aerobic glycolysis, bone formation, and fracture healing.

Indomethacin: Practical Workflow and QC Guide
2026-08-28
Indomethacin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug used as a pharmacological perturbation for cyclooxygenase, inflammation, lipid metabolism, and membrane studies. This guide explains solvent selection, controls, assay interpretation, and storage; it should not be treated as a pathway-specific probe or as a substitute for directly matched literature evidence.

HIV-1 Remodels Nuclear Pores to Infect Resting T Cells
2026-08-27
The reference study identifies nuclear import at the nuclear pore complex as a decisive barrier to HIV-1 infection in resting CD4+ T cells. It shows that cell–cell spread activates CD4–LCK–CDK1 signalling, remodels nucleoporins without requiring cell-cycle entry, and licenses viral capsid entry into the nucleus.
