Carbenoxolone disodium: Practical Lab Guide
2026-08-24
Carbenoxolone disodium is an 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibitor used to perturb glucocorticoid handling, corticosterone metabolism, and gap junction communication in controlled cell and tissue experiments. It is suitable for mechanistic screening with appropriate controls, but it should not be treated as a selective target-validation reagent or as an in vivo efficacy compound without additional validation.

Tumor-Targeted PAD4 Inhibitors and NETs
2026-08-23
The reference study developed phenylboronic acid–modified PAD4 inhibitors, identifying Compound 5i as a lead that links tumor targeting with suppression of the PAD4–H3cit–NET pathway. Across sarcoma and breast cancer models, the compound reduced tumor growth and metastasis while altering the tumor immune microenvironment, providing a preclinical framework for more selective PAD4 inhibition.

Chicken Gasdermins Reveal New Routes to Pyroptosis
2026-08-20
The reference study identifies chicken GSDMA and GSDME as functional gasdermins and maps their activation by distinct caspases. Its combination of cleavage-site analysis, cell-based membrane injury assays, antibacterial testing, and chicken infection models expands pyroptosis research beyond mammalian systems and provides a framework for testing caspase-dependent inflammatory cell death in birds.

Piroxicam and Deracoxib in Canine Mammary Cancer
2026-08-20
This 2012 study examined whether piroxicam and deracoxib directly suppress growth of the canine mammary carcinoma cell line CMT-U27, either alone or in combination. Using MTT viability testing and flow cytometry, the authors found stronger growth inhibition, apoptosis, and G0/G1 accumulation with combined treatment, while also highlighting the need to distinguish in vitro activity from clinically achievable exposure.
