Realgar, Ornithine, and Astrocyte Glycolysis
2026-08-14
This 2025 Advanced Science study identifies a liver–brain mechanism linking realgar-derived arsenic, hepatic OTC inhibition, ornithine accumulation, and ZBTB7A-mediated suppression of astrocyte glycolysis. Its multi-model design connects altered urea-cycle metabolism with frontal-lobe energy failure and behavioral impairment, providing a framework for studying arsenic-associated CNS toxicity.

Engage & Evasion for EV MPS Escape
2026-08-14
The 2024 Journal of Nanobiotechnology study introduces a sequential extracellular vesicle strategy that first engages the mononuclear phagocyte system with CD47-low vesicles and then protects CD47-high therapeutic vesicles from uptake. This design reduced liver and spleen entrapment, increased circulating vesicle levels, and improved distribution to non-MPS organs, offering a useful framework for ischemic disease delivery.

In Vitro Drug Response: Viability, Growth, and Death
2026-08-09
Hannah R. Schwartz’s dissertation distinguishes drug-induced growth inhibition from actual cell killing, showing that relative viability and fractional viability capture different dimensions of an in vitro cancer response. This framework can improve interpretation of drug screens, particularly when cell-cycle arrest and delayed death occur together.

MVC Entry via RhoA/ROCK1 Tight-Junction Signaling
2026-08-08
Ren and colleagues show that Minute Virus of Canines (MVC) uses a host RhoA/ROCK1/MLC2 signaling axis to remodel tight junctions and expose occludin for VP2-mediated infection. The study connects a direct VP2–ROCK1 interaction with cytoskeletal contraction, barrier permeability, and reduced infection after pharmacologic pathway inhibition.
