Bufalin Targets STK33 in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
2026-08-14
A 2025 Advanced Science study identifies serine/threonine kinase 33 (STK33) as a direct, degradation-sensitive target of the cardiotonic steroid Bufalin in triple-negative breast cancer. By combining chemical-proteomic target discovery, biophysical binding assays, genetic perturbation, animal models, and patient-derived organoids, the work connects Bufalin–STK33 engagement to disruption of an STK33–HSP90 stability mechanism and suppression of tumor growth.

TMJ Inflammation, Microglia, and Synaptic Pruning
2026-08-14
This study identifies a mechanistic pathway linking temporomandibular joint inflammation to hippocampal microglial activation, neuronal C3 deposition, excessive synaptic pruning, and depression-like behaviors in mice. Its perturbation-based design highlights microglial Nr4a1 and neuronal C3 as experimentally testable nodes while clarifying the limits of translating these findings to other inflammatory signaling models.

In Vitro Cancer Drug Response: Growth vs Death
2026-08-13
Hannah R. Schwartz’s dissertation distinguishes relative viability from fractional viability when measuring anticancer drug responses in vitro. The framework shows that growth inhibition and cell death are related but non-equivalent outcomes, supporting more informative assay design and interpretation.

Deep Learning for iPSC-CM Cardiotoxicity Screening
2026-08-13
Grafton et al. developed a scalable high-content screening strategy that combines human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes with deep-learning image analysis to identify drug-induced cardiotoxic phenotypes. Screening both annotated bioactive compounds and molecules with unknown targets showed that a single image-derived score can support early liability detection and chemical prioritization.

APEX2, TERT Expression, and Stem Cell DNA Repair
2026-08-09
This preprint identifies APEX2 as a previously unrecognized regulator of efficient TERT expression and telomerase activity in human embryonic stem cells. Its combination of knockdown, RNA-seq, and chromatin immunoprecipitation links repetitive DNA elements, particularly MIR sequences, to transcriptional control, while also highlighting important limitations for mechanistic and therapeutic interpretation.
