Mubritinib–HSA Recognition: Methods and Implications
2026-09-16
This study combines fluorescence spectroscopy, biochemical testing, and molecular docking to define how mubritinib recognizes human serum albumin. Its evidence for static quenching, site I binding, structural perturbation, and competitive inhibition of albumin esterase-like activity provides a mechanistic basis for interpreting distribution and protein-mediated effects of this mitochondrial electron transport chain inhibitor.

TDG, ATF4, and mTORC1 in Cell Fate
2026-09-14
This preprint identifies TDG as an active coordinator of ATF4-dependent transcription during retinoic acid-induced neural fate acquisition, linking promoter chromatin organization to mTORC1 activity. Its multi-omic design provides a framework for studying how DNA demethylation machinery, stress-responsive transcription, and metabolic signaling jointly stabilize differentiated cell states.

RNA Pol II Inhibition and Apoptotic Signaling
2026-09-14
Harper et al. show that RNA Pol II inhibition kills cells through an active apoptotic response triggered by loss of hypophosphorylated RNA Pol IIA, rather than through transcriptional collapse alone. The findings define the Pol II degradation-dependent apoptotic response and provide a framework for interpreting transcription-targeting drugs and designing complementary cell-death experiments.

GRK Control of M1 Receptor Biased Signaling
2026-09-13
The reference study uses BRET-based interaction profiling to show that GRK subtype behavior helps determine whether M1 muscarinic receptor signaling favors G proteins or β-arrestin 2. Its analysis positions BQCA as a mechanistically informative M1 allosteric modulator and provides a framework for studying acetylcholine receptor signaling relevant to cognitive function modulation and Alzheimer’s disease research.

25-Hydroxycholesterol Reprograms TAM Immunity
2026-09-11
Xiao et al. identify the CH25H–25-hydroxycholesterol axis as an immunometabolic checkpoint that links lysosomal lipid sensing to AMPK–STAT6 activation in tumor-associated macrophages. Their findings show that targeting CH25H can improve T-cell surveillance and enhance anti-PD-1 efficacy, while providing a framework for separating macrophage cholesterol signaling from parallel tumor lactate-transport mechanisms.

AR Heterogeneity Shapes Prostate Cancer Drug Response
2026-09-11
Li et al. showed that androgen receptor heterogeneity is functionally linked to distinct castration and enzalutamide responses in advanced prostate cancer. By combining patient specimens, xenografts, genome-edited cell models, transcriptomics, and combination treatment experiments, the study identified BCL-2 as a candidate vulnerability in AR-low or AR-negative disease.

CD36 Lipid Signaling Drives Immune Escape in AML
2026-09-10
Guo et al. identify a non-canonical CD36 lipid-sensing program that enables AML cells to suppress T-cell activity and resist decitabine-associated treatment effects. The study separates this immune function from conventional lipid oxidation and shows that statin-mediated disruption of CD36 signaling can improve decitabine efficacy in preclinical models.
