Separating Drug Growth Inhibition from Cell Death
2026-08-23
Hannah R. Schwartz’s dissertation shows why relative viability and fractional viability should not be treated as interchangeable measures in cancer drug studies. Its central contribution is a response-analysis framework that separates proliferative arrest from actual cell killing, improving interpretation of drug timing, potency, and mechanism.

Mitoxantrone Targets the ERα DBD–LBD Interface
2026-08-21
Wang et al. identify an unconventional estrogen receptor α (ERα) binding site at the interface between its DNA-binding and ligand-binding domains. Mitoxantrone binding alters receptor conformation, promotes cytoplasmic redistribution and proteasomal degradation, and suppresses therapy-resistant ERα mutants in cellular and xenograft models independently of its canonical DNA-damage activity.

SNAI1–PIK3R2/p-EphA2 Axis in Thymic Tumors
2026-08-19
A 2024 study identifies SNAI1 as a transcriptional hub that promotes epithelial–mesenchymal transition, invasion, and cancer stem cell-like traits in thymic epithelial tumors. Multi-omics, functional, and single-cell analyses connect SNAI1 to a PIK3R2/p-EphA2 signaling axis and tumor-associated macrophage remodeling, providing a mechanistic framework for future therapeutic studies.
