Lactate–GPR81 Signaling Enables Insulin-Independent Uptake
2026-09-19
A 2026 Cell Research study identifies lactate as an insulin-independent regulator of skeletal-muscle glucose uptake and defines a GPR81–FARP1–RAC1 pathway that promotes GLUT4 translocation. The findings connect exercise-associated lactate production with glucose control and suggest that GPR81 may complement, rather than replace, insulin signaling in metabolic disease research.

Formononetin and Oxaliplatin Neurotoxicity
2026-09-18
A 2026 NeuroToxicology study identifies formononetin as a potential neuroprotective agent against oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neurotoxicity in sensory neuron models. The compound activated the Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant pathway, reduced oxidative stress and apoptosis, and preserved oxaliplatin and paclitaxel anticancer activity in cultured tumor cells, although protection against paclitaxel-related neurite damage was limited.

Perospirone Inhibits Vascular Kv1.5 Channels
2026-09-18
A 2025 Journal of Applied Toxicology study identifies a previously unrecognized electrophysiological action of Perospirone in freshly isolated rabbit coronary arterial smooth muscle cells. The drug inhibited vascular voltage-gated K+ currents in a concentration-dependent, use-independent manner, with pharmacological evidence implicating Kv1.5 channels and raising questions about cardiovascular effects beyond its established antipsychotic mechanism.

CLCC1 and Herpesvirus Nuclear Egress Fusion
2026-09-15
A 2024 bioRxiv preprint identifies the host factor CLCC1 as essential for the membrane-fusion step of herpes simplex virus 1 nuclear egress. The study separates viral NEC-driven budding from host-dependent fusion and connects herpesvirus capsid export with nuclear pore complex membrane insertion, providing a framework for investigating host-controlled stages of infection.

Inducing Right Ventricular-Like Cardiomyocytes from hPSCs
2026-09-14
Saito et al. developed a differentiation strategy that shifts human pluripotent stem cell cardiac progenitors toward an anterior second heart field-like state and produces right ventricular-like cardiomyocytes. The resulting cells differed from left ventricular-like controls in gene expression, spontaneous contraction, calcium handling, and cell size, providing a useful framework for chamber-specific disease modeling.

BEND Lipids Improve mRNA Delivery and Gene Editing
2026-09-13
The reference study introduces branched endosomal disruptor lipids that improve lipid nanoparticle delivery of mRNA and CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complexes. By linking terminal branching to enhanced endosomal penetration, the work provides a rational design strategy for hepatic gene editing and T-cell engineering.

ATRX Loss Sensitizes Glioma Cells to PDGFR Inhibitors
2026-09-11
Pladevall-Morera and colleagues identified a genotype-associated drug vulnerability in high-grade glioma: ATRX-deficient cells were more sensitive to several receptor tyrosine kinase and PDGFR inhibitors than ATRX-intact counterparts. The study also found enhanced toxicity when selected RTK inhibitors were combined with temozolomide, supporting ATRX status as a factor for interpreting targeted-therapy studies.
