Osteoblast ECM1 Drives Enzalutamide Resistance in Bone PCa
2026-09-24
The study identifies osteoblast-derived ECM1 as a bone-microenvironment signal that can promote enzalutamide resistance in prostate cancer cells. It links ECM1 engagement of cell-surface ENO1 to ENO1 Y189 phosphorylation, GRB2/SOS1 recruitment, and MAPK activation, and reports that targeting ECM1 or ENO1 can restore drug sensitivity in the models studied.

Dual-Action Inhibitors and p38α Dephosphorylation
2026-09-24
The study reports that three inhibitors can both block p38α MAP kinase activity and increase removal of its activation-loop phosphate by the phosphatase WIP1. Structural data suggest that inhibitor binding exposes the phospho-threonine, offering a conformational mechanism for kinase deactivation and a design concept that merits further testing.

TMAO Activates PERK in Zebrafish NAFLD Progression
2026-09-23
A 2024 study reports that dietary trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) can induce liver steatosis, inflammation, injury, and fibrosis in zebrafish, with PERK signaling activated in animal and cell models. The findings connect a gut microbiota-related metabolite to liver pathology and provide a framework for testing whether PERK activity contributes causally to disease progression.

tFUS Regulates SHP2 to Limit Stroke Neuroinflammation
2026-09-22
This 2025 study identifies the Nespas/miR-383-3p/SHP2 axis as a mechanistic link between low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation and reduced NLRP3-related neuroinflammation after ischemic stroke. Its combination of a transient MCAO rat model, microglial OGD/R experiments, RNA sequencing, and targeted molecular perturbation provides a useful framework for studying SHP2-dependent neuroprotection.

EGF-Driven Migration Without EMT in A549 Cells
2026-09-19
Schelch et al. showed that Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) stimulates migration in A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells without inducing the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) or increasing invasion. The study separates migration from invasive behavior and identifies MAPK dependence as a distinguishing feature of EGF-driven movement, with implications for interpreting cancer-cell motility assays.
