Psoralen-Induced Cholestasis via ERK1/2
2026-09-22
Chen and colleagues show that psoralen and isopsoralen, estrogen-like constituents of Psoraleae Fructus, cause cholestatic liver injury in zebrafish larvae through disrupted bile acid regulation and increased ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Pharmacological rescue with exemestane and GDC-0994 links estrogenic signaling and ERK activity to the phenotype, identifying ERK1/2 as a mechanistic target for further cholestasis research.

CCR5-Positive EVs in Rheumatoid Arthritis
2026-09-18
The reference study identifies CCR5-bearing extracellular vesicles released by rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts as active mediators of cartilage destruction, bone erosion, and NF-κB-associated inflammation. Its combined in vitro and adjuvant-induced arthritis experiments suggest that removing or pharmacologically blocking EV-associated CCR5 can reduce pathogenic signaling, while also defining important limits for translating this mechanism into therapy.
