6-Thioguanine Blocks EV71 Through BIRC3 Autophagy
2026-08-23
The 2025 BMC Microbiology study shows that 6-thioguanine suppresses Enterovirus 71 replication in HT-29 cells and links this activity to reduced BIRC3 expression and incomplete autophagy. Its high in-vitro selectivity supports further antiviral investigation, while the findings remain preclinical and require validation in additional models.

Fzd5 Connects Cholesterol to Wnt Signaling in PDAC
2026-08-22
The reference study identifies Frizzled5 as a cholesterol-sensing Wnt receptor that links lipid metabolism to receptor maturation, palmitoylation, and β-catenin signaling in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Its findings suggest that disrupting the cholesterol–Fzd5 interface, including with the oxysterol 25-hydroxysterol, may suppress growth in Wnt-dependent tumors while providing a mechanistic framework for targeted molecular-labeling studies.

SCFβ-TrCP Degradation of TOP2β and Cancer Cell Survival
2026-08-17
The reference study identifies SCFβ-TrCP as the ubiquitin ligase that removes TOP2β after topoisomerase II poison exposure, linking ATM and CK1 phosphorylation to a canonical β-TrCP degron. It shows that preventing TOP2β degradation intensifies unrepaired DNA damage and apoptosis, suggesting a rational route for improving responses to TOP2-targeting chemotherapy.

Angiotensin Peptides and SARS-CoV-2 Spike Binding
2026-08-17
The 2025 reference study shows that naturally occurring angiotensin fragments can enhance SARS-CoV-2 spike-protein binding to AXL and, for angiotensin IV, to ACE2 and NRP1. Its peptide-length and tyrosine-modification experiments identify angiotensin structure as a potential molecular link between renin-angiotensin signaling and viral receptor engagement, while remaining a binding study rather than an infection or therapeutic efficacy study.
