miR-24-3p, Sp1/PI3K, and Doxorubicin HF
2026-09-01
The reference study identifies miR-24-3p as a regulator of doxorubicin-induced heart failure through suppression of the Sp1/PI3K axis. Using complementary rat and H9c2 cardiomyocyte models, the authors connect this pathway to cardiac dysfunction, apoptosis, and oxidative stress, while showing that miR-24-3p silencing is protective.

METTL16–SENP3–LTF Axis in HCC Ferroptosis
2026-08-31
Wang et al. identify a METTL16–SENP3–LTF signaling axis that protects hepatocellular carcinoma cells from iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and promotes tumor progression. The study links m6A-dependent RNA regulation to iron sequestration, providing a mechanistic framework for evaluating ferroptosis sensitization in HCC models.

Guangdong CREC Carbapenemase Gene Transmission
2026-08-28
Chen and colleagues mapped carbapenemase-encoding genes, their inferred genomic location, transferability, and clonal relationships in carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae collected across eight teaching hospitals in Guangdong. The study links predominantly plasmid-associated blaNDM-1 with multidrug resistance and efficient conjugative dissemination, while also identifying hospital-spanning genotypes relevant to surveillance and infection-control planning.

PEGylated Iron Oxide Nanoparticles and Liver Uptake
2026-08-26
This ACS Nano study clarifies how iron oxide nanoparticle size and PEG chain length jointly shape hepatic biodistribution and uptake by distinct primary liver cell populations. Its central contribution is to connect in vivo SPECT/CT observations with cell-specific in vitro behavior, showing that Kupffer cells are not universally the dominant determinant of nanoparticle clearance.

Mitochondrial Pore Assay: Signal to Mechanism
2026-08-26
The Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore Assay Kit connects Calcein AM fluorescence loss with mitochondrial permeability transition during cell death. This guide shows how to use K2061 as a mechanistic readout in hepatocyte, infection, and apoptosis research rather than as an isolated endpoint.

Dhx9 Orchestrates TH17 Differentiation and Autoimmunity
2026-08-25
Su et al. identify the nuclear helicase Dhx9 as a chromatin-level regulator of TH17 lineage commitment, linking IL-6–STAT3 signaling to accessibility at the Rorc and Il17 loci. Conditional Dhx9 deletion reduced autoimmune pathology in mouse models, while punicalagin showed potential as a pharmacological inhibitor of this pathway.
