SMYD2 Inhibition in Cisplatin-Induced Renal Fibrosis
2026-09-04
The reference study identifies SMYD2 as a pharmacologically tractable regulator of cisplatin-induced renal fibrosis and inflammation. Using AZ505 and LLY507 in animal and tubular epithelial cell models, the researchers connected SMYD2 inhibition with improved renal injury, reduced fibrogenic and inflammatory signaling, and modulation of Smad3, STAT3, and Smad7.

HDAC6-Driven α-Tubulin Lactylation and Dynamics
2026-09-04
The reference study identifies α-tubulin lactylation at Lys40 as a metabolism-sensitive modification that promotes microtubule dynamics in neuronal cells. It further establishes HDAC6 as a catalytic writer of this modification, linking intracellular lactate to cytoskeletal remodeling, neurite outgrowth, and branching.

Gramine–CUL3–MTDH Axis in TNBC Ferroptosis
2026-08-31
The reference study identifies Gramine as a selective suppressor of triple-negative breast cancer through a CUL3–MTDH regulatory axis that activates ferroptosis. By combining target-engagement assays, genetic perturbation, ferroptosis-rescue experiments, and xenograft models, the authors connect CUL3 modulation with changes in MTDH, SLC3A2, GPX4, redox balance, and tumor growth.

AO/PI Double Staining Kit: Practical Guide
2026-08-31
The AO/PI Double Staining Kit provides a rapid fluorescent cell staining workflow for separating viable, apoptotic, and necrotic cell populations by color. It is appropriate for comparative cell viability, apoptosis detection, and necrosis detection, but it should not be treated as a standalone method for confirming a specific apoptotic pathway or replacing orthogonal validation.
