Chemerin–NTS Signaling and CNQX Receptor Logic
2026-09-05
This 2024 study identifies a chemerin–CMKLR1–NADPH oxidase–superoxide pathway in the caudal nucleus tractus solitarius that increases sympathetic nerve activity, blood pressure, and heart rate. Its use of MK-801 and CNQX in the paraventricular nucleus further indicates that NMDA, rather than AMPA/kainate, receptors are the dominant downstream glutamatergic component under the tested conditions.

METTL16–SENP3–LTF Axis in HCC Ferroptosis
2026-09-02
Wang et al. identified a METTL16–SENP3–LTF regulatory axis that links m6A RNA modification, SUMO-dependent protein stability, iron handling, and ferroptosis resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma. The findings suggest that disrupting this axis may improve ferroptosis-based cancer research strategies, although the mechanism remains to be validated across additional tumor models and therapeutic settings.

Shrimp STING Reveals an Ancient DNA-Sensing Axis
2026-08-31
Li and colleagues show that shrimp STING can bind both cytosolic double-stranded DNA and cyclic dinucleotides, extending the known functional range of this innate immune adaptor beyond mammalian-style pathway models. Their results define a dsDNA–STING–IKKε–IRF–Vago4 axis that produces an IFN-like antiviral state in Litopenaeus vannamei and offers evolutionary insight into nucleic acid sensing.
