Masitinib (AB1010): KIT/PDGFR Workflow Guide
2026-08-24
Masitinib (AB1010) provides a DMSO-compatible approach for selective KIT, PDGFRα, and PDGFRβ inhibition in cancer biology, mast cell, and inflammatory research. It is not appropriate for aqueous or ethanol-based protocols, and its dossier-level activity should not be treated as evidence for broad kinase inhibition or a clinical treatment recommendation.

FRQ Phosphorylation Clusters Set Circadian Period
2026-08-23
Wang, Stevenson, and Dunlap systematically tested all 110 reported phosphorylation sites on the Neurospora FRQ clock protein, revealing regional clusters that differentially control circadian period and temperature compensation. Their mutational and luciferase-based strategy shows that FRQ phosphorylation is distributed across functionally distinct regions and can display intramolecular epistasis, providing a framework for multisite protein phosphorylation analysis.

Par6 Drives Processive Lgl Phosphorylation by aPKC
2026-08-22
The reference study combines cryo-EM with protein biochemistry to explain how Par6b converts aPKCι-mediated Lgl2 phosphorylation from a distributive reaction into a processive one. Its findings identify a dynamic, multi-surface complex that keeps Lgl2 engaged with the kinase long enough to acquire multiple phosphates, clarifying how epithelial polarity is established.

CCR5-Containing EVs in Rheumatoid Arthritis
2026-08-21
The reference study identifies CCR5 carried by synovial fibroblast-derived extracellular vesicles as a mechanistic driver of cartilage destruction, bone erosion, and NF-κB activation in rheumatoid arthritis models. By comparing CCR5-deficient vesicles with Maraviroc-loaded vesicles, the work provides a causal framework for studying EV-mediated inflammatory signaling while highlighting important limits for translation beyond experimental arthritis.

HDAC8 and AKT in MEK1/2 Inhibitor Resistance
2026-08-18
The reference study identifies an HDAC8–PLCB1/DESC1 axis that activates AKT when MEK1/2–ERK signaling is inhibited in colorectal cancer and melanoma cell models. Its perturbation-based design suggests that targeting adaptive signaling, rather than intensifying MEK blockade alone, may help restore sensitivity to pathway inhibition.

Gasdermin C Drives PDAC Stemness and Immune Evasion
2026-08-17
A 2024 Advanced Science study identifies Gasdermin C (GSDMC) as a nuclear regulator of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma stemness, metastasis, and immune evasion, independent of canonical pyroptosis. The work connects ADAM17-mediated GSDMC cleavage to transcriptional reprogramming and shows that blocking cleavage or nuclear translocation can improve responses to KRASG12D inhibition and PD-1 checkpoint blockade in preclinical models.
