Psoralen-Induced Cholestasis via ERK1/2
2026-09-21
Chen et al. showed that psoralen and isopsoralen, estrogen-like constituents of Psoraleae Fructus, induce cholestatic liver injury in zebrafish larvae while activating ERK1/2. The study connects estrogenic signaling, disrupted bile-acid regulation, and pharmacological rescue, positioning ERK1/2 as a mechanistically testable node rather than merely an associated pathway.

IL-2, Human Recombinant: Mechanism and Workflow
2026-09-18
IL-2, human recombinant is an experimental cytokine reagent that activates cells expressing interleukin-2 receptor complexes. Its validated biology supports T-cell, regulatory T-cell, and natural-killer-cell assays, while the cited Porphyromonas gingivalis study provides context for endothelial injury rather than evidence for an IL-2 treatment effect.

H2S Persulfidation and Ferroptosis in NSCLC
2026-09-18
Zheng et al. identify hydrogen sulfide-mediated persulfidation of S-adenosyl homocysteine hydrolase as a metabolic mechanism that sensitizes non-small cell lung cancer cells to ferroptosis under cystine-limited conditions. The study connects altered homocysteine metabolism with depletion of cysteine and glutathione, providing a mechanistic rationale for combining hydrogen sulfide activity with ferroptosis-based treatment strategies.

TBST Buffer: Practical Immunoassay Workflow
2026-09-15
TBST (Tris-Buffered Saline and Tween 20) is a buffered washing and blocking solution for reducing nonspecific binding and background in antibody-based assays. It is appropriate for Western blotting, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and immunocytochemistry, but should be evaluated or avoided when non-ionic detergents may disrupt the assay or specimen.

LGK-974: A Practical PORCN Inhibitor Workflow
2026-09-15
LGK-974 provides a direct way to test whether a phenotype depends on PORCN-mediated Wnt ligand secretion rather than downstream β-catenin activity alone. This guide connects concentration-controlled cell assays, RNF43-mutant pancreatic cancer models, pathway biomarkers, and preclinical study design with practical troubleshooting.
