APEX2 Promotes TERT Expression in Human Stem Cells
2026-08-18
This study identifies APEX2 as a DNA repair factor required for efficient TERT expression in human embryonic stem cells and melanoma cells, distinguishing its function from the related enzyme APEX1. RNA-seq and chromatin immunoprecipitation connect APEX2-dependent transcription to repetitive DNA, especially MIR elements within TERT intron 2, suggesting that repair of damage-prone sequences can influence telomerase regulation.

Rapamycin (Sirolimus): mTOR Research Guide
2026-08-16
Rapamycin, also called Sirolimus, is an FKBP12-dependent mTOR inhibitor used to study cell growth, immune activation, cancer metabolism, and mitochondrial disease. Its reported mTOR IC50 is approximately 0.1 nM, but assay conditions, exposure duration, and cell context determine experimental response.

M1R/B6R Bispecific Antibodies for Orthopoxvirus Protection
2026-08-15
This study maps the binding and antiviral properties of monoclonal antibodies against the MPXV immunogens M1R and B6R, then applies those findings to antibody-cocktail and bispecific designs. Its most important translational result is the robust protection produced by a VH-CH1 switch region-inserting bispecific format in a VACV mouse model, while also highlighting the limits of extrapolating preclinical antibody data to human mpox therapy.

SVA 3A/2B–DDX23 Antiviral Defense
2026-08-14
Li and colleagues identify a dual interaction in which host RNA helicase DDX23 restricts Senecavirus A (SVA), while viral 3A and 2B proteins use distinct caspase-linked mechanisms to reduce DDX23 protein abundance. The study combines expression genetics, pathway-inhibitor experiments, and reverse-genetics viruses to connect specific viral residues with replication, providing a framework for analyzing apoptosis-related antiviral restriction without equating pharmacological caspase inhibition with direct substrate cleavage.

Amine Chemistry Governs Lung-Selective mRNA Delivery
2026-08-12
This JACS Au study combines a systematic library of cationic polymer micelles with SHAP and multitask Gaussian Process modeling to identify how amine chemistry controls mRNA binding, cellular delivery, viability, translation, and lung distribution. Its central practical implication is that optimal delivery requires a balanced interaction with mRNA rather than simply maximizing electrostatic binding.
