NF449 and Selective Platelet P2X1 Blockade
2026-09-14
The reference study established NF449 as a concentration-dependent antagonist with substantially greater activity at platelet P2X1 than at P2Y1 or P2Y12 under the tested conditions. By combining human platelet assays with mouse thrombosis models, it linked P2X1 blockade to reduced platelet activation and thrombus formation while examining whether hemostasis was preserved.

Caveolin-1, Cholesterol, and MASLD Progression
2026-09-11
The reference study identifies Caveolin-1 as a regulator of hepatic cholesterol homeostasis that limits endoplasmic reticulum stress and pyroptosis during metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. By combining CAV1-deficient mouse models, liver transcriptomics, human samples, and cell-based validation, the authors connect CAV1 with the FXR/NR1H4–ABCG5/ABCG8 axis and provide a mechanistic framework for interpreting cholesterol accumulation in MASLD.

Relative vs Fractional Viability in Cancer Drug Testing
2026-09-08
Hannah R. Schwartz’s dissertation shows why relative viability and fractional viability should not be treated as interchangeable measures of anticancer activity. By separating growth inhibition from cell killing and considering their different timing, the work provides a more informative framework for interpreting in vitro drug-response experiments.

25-Hydroxycholesterol Reprograms TAM Immunity
2026-09-07
Xiao et al. identify CH25H and lysosome-accumulated 25-hydroxycholesterol as an immunometabolic checkpoint that activates AMPKα and reinforces STAT6-dependent ARG1 production in tumor-associated macrophages. The study connects oxysterol compartmentalization with macrophage-mediated immune suppression and shows that targeting CH25H can improve antitumor immunity, including responses to anti-PD-1 therapy.

Epigenetic Immune Signatures in Melanoma
2026-09-05
Anichini et al. compared five epigenetic drug classes and found that guadecitabine most consistently activated immune-related transcriptional programs in melanoma, including innate TLR, NF-κB, and interferon-associated pathways. The study links tumor-cell epigenetic remodeling with patient biopsy responses and provides a framework for selecting epigenetic partners for immune checkpoint blockade.
