Relative Versus Fractional Viability in Cancer Drug Testing
2026-08-11
Hannah Schwartz’s dissertation shows that relative viability and fractional viability capture different components of anticancer drug response: proliferative arrest and cell killing. Its central practical contribution is a framework for interpreting both response magnitude and timing, improving how tumor cell growth inhibition is evaluated in vitro.

Dual-Action Kinase Inhibitors Accelerate p38α MAPK Dephospho
2026-08-05
The reference study reveals that certain kinase inhibitors, including Losmapimod analogs, not only block p38α MAPK enzymatic activity but also enhance its dephosphorylation by stabilizing a conformation preferred by phosphatases. This dual-action mechanism opens new avenues for inflammation and vascular research, offering a path toward more selective and potent therapeutic strategies.

N-MYC/eIF4G1 Axis Drives Survival in inv(16) AML: Mechanisti
2026-08-04
Peramangalam et al. reveal that N-MYC sustains inv(16) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) survival by regulating eIF4G1, a previously unreported oncogenic target in AML. This study elucidates how targeting the CBFβ-SMMHC fusion protein disrupts the N-MYC/eIF4G1 axis, providing a rationale for new therapeutic strategies and advancing acute myeloid leukemia research.
