c-Myc tag peptide: Assay Workflow & Troubleshooting
2026-08-13
Use the c-Myc tag peptide as a defined competitive reagent for antibody-binding studies, immunoassay specificity controls, and selective elution of tagged fusion proteins. This workflow also shows how to connect tag-dependent measurements with transcription-factor stability studies without confusing an assay reagent with a cellular c-MYC inhibitor.

Patient-Derived Gastric Cancer Assembloids
2026-08-13
Shapira-Netanelov and colleagues developed a patient-derived gastric cancer assembloid that combines matched tumor organoids with stromal subpopulations from the same tumor. The model reproduced tumor–stroma-associated transcriptional changes and revealed that stromal composition can substantially alter drug sensitivity, supporting more physiologically relevant personalized treatment studies.

E-64 and Cathepsins in Salt-Sensitive Hypertension
2026-08-12
Blass and colleagues tested chronic broad cysteine cathepsin inhibition in Dahl salt-sensitive rats, combining high-salt hypertension with E-64 infusion, podocyte calcium imaging, and protein analysis. E-64 did not prevent hypertension, albuminuria, kidney damage, or altered basal podocyte calcium under the experimental conditions, providing an important negative result for interpreting cathepsin biology in renal disease.

Selective Autophagy Tunes IRF3 and Type I IFN
2026-08-12
Wu and colleagues show that CALCOCO2/NDP52-mediated selective autophagy controls IRF3 stability according to viral burden, while PSMD14 preserves IRF3 by removing K27-linked ubiquitin chains at lysine 313. The work defines a regulatory axis that limits excessive antiviral signaling without eliminating the basal IRF3 required for type I interferon production.

Berberine, SIRT6-AMPK, and Atrial Fibrillation
2026-08-10
The reference study identifies SIRT6-AMPK signaling as a protective mechanism against angiotensin II-induced atrial remodeling and atrial fibrillation susceptibility. Using human atrial evidence, bioinformatics, a murine model, and SIRT6 gain- and loss-of-function experiments, it links berberine activity to suppression of NLRP3 inflammasome signaling and oxidative injury.

LLC-PK1-MDR1 Model for BBB Permeability Screening
2026-08-08
Hu and colleagues developed a Transwell blood-brain barrier surrogate based on LLC-PK1-MOCK/MDR1 cells and combined permeability testing with correction for lysosomal trapping. Across 41 compounds, the model correlated well with unbound brain distribution and provided a practical framework for prioritizing CNS drug candidates before extensive in vivo studies.
