• NAD+/NADH Homeostasis in Fungal Hypoxia

  2026-09-07

  This award review explains how oxygen limitation reshapes filamentous-fungal metabolism through changes in the NAD+/NADH balance. Its key contribution is linking redox control not only to fermentation, respiration, and growth, but also to secondary-metabolite production through NAD+-dependent regulation of sirtuin A and Nudix hydrolase A.

• Gramine–CUL3–MTDH Ferroptosis in TNBC

  2026-09-01

  The reference study identifies Gramine, also known as 1-(1H-indol-3-yl)-N,N-dimethylmethanamine, as a selective ferroptosis inducer in triple-negative breast cancer through the CUL3–MTDH ubiquitination axis. Its combination of target-engagement assays, ferroptosis rescue experiments, genetic perturbation, and xenograft validation provides a mechanism-focused framework for TNBC and cancer biology research.

• Benzyl Quinolone Carboxylic Acid (BQCA) Workflows

  2026-08-31

  Benzyl Quinolone Carboxylic Acid (BQCA) enables controlled potentiation of M1 signaling instead of relying only on maximal orthosteric stimulation. This practical guide connects BQCA dose–response, BRET-based protein-interaction assays, neuronal activity readouts, and troubleshooting strategies for Alzheimer’s disease research and cognitive function modulation.

• CA800-PR Targets PGR in HR+ Breast Cancer

  2026-08-31

  The reference study introduces CA800-PR, a tumor-targeted heptamethine cyanine dye that combines near-infrared imaging with direct antitumor activity in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. In MCF-7 models, the dye induced Golgi fragmentation, selectively reduced progesterone receptor protein, promoted apoptosis, and was associated with a pro-inflammatory antitumor immune response.

• Dual-Action Podophyllotoxin Derivative 5p

  2026-08-30

  The reference study shows that podophyllotoxin derivative 5p combines topoisomerase IIα catalytic inhibition with suppression of microtubule polymerization, producing activity in several multidrug-resistant cancer models. Its effects on drug-efflux proteins, G2/M arrest, apoptosis, pyroptosis-associated markers, and xenograft growth support a dual-mechanism strategy for anticancer drug research, while also highlighting the need for further pharmacological validation.

• Metronidazole: Designing Causal Transporter Assays

  2026-08-29

  Metronidazole is more than a nitroimidazole antibiotic: its OAT3 inhibition creates a controlled way to study drug uptake and drug-drug interaction modulation. This article presents a causal assay framework that separates transporter effects from microbiota-associated immune changes.
