HIV-1 Protease Autoprocessing for HTS
2026-09-08
Huang and colleagues developed a cell-based AlphaLISA platform that measures HIV-1 protease precursor autoprocessing and supports high-throughput inhibitor screening. The assay selectively identified known HIV protease inhibitors, reproduced resistance-associated phenotypes, and provides a functional complement to conventional assays focused on mature protease binding.

MLKL Polymerization, Lysosomal LMP, and Necroptosis
2026-09-07
The reference study identifies lysosomal membrane permeabilization as a mechanistic step linking MLKL polymerization to necroptotic cell death. Its imaging, inhibition, knockdown, and MLKL-domain experiments place cathepsin B release downstream of lysosomal damage and provide a framework for dissecting regulated cell death with orthogonal assays.

Phenytoin for Sodium Channel and Myelin Assays
2026-09-05
Use Phenytoin to connect sodium-channel activity measurements with live myelin-remodeling experiments, while preserving vehicle, imaging, and electrophysiology controls. This workflow emphasizes fresh preparation, concentration scouting, and longitudinal endpoints rather than treating reduced activity as a direct proxy for myelin repair.

Tolazoline and Translational Control of Insulin Signaling
2026-09-04
Tolazoline is more than a conventional α2-adrenergic receptor antagonist: its concentration-dependent effects on β-cell ATP-sensitive potassium channels create both an experimental opportunity and a selectivity challenge. This thought-leadership guide connects Tolazoline pharmacology with findings from an Alzheimer’s disease insulin-signaling study, while defining practical boundaries for islet, airway, and exploratory neuroendocrine translation.

BAPTA and the Calcium Decision Point in Toxicology
2026-09-01
BAPTA is more than a calcium chelator: it is a causal probe for determining whether intracellular Ca2+ signaling drives toxicant-induced apoptosis. This article translates recent IP3R/Ca2+/STAT3 findings into a practical framework for mechanistic validation, assay design, and translational decision-making.
