Nanoparticle Uptake by Human Corneal Epithelial Cells
2026-08-20
This 2024 ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering study clarifies how nanoparticle size and surface chemistry influence uptake by human corneal epithelial cells. Using a mucosal in vitro model and inhibitor profiling, it identifies energy-dependent uptake, with macropinocytosis and caveolae-mediated endocytosis as dominant contributors, while clathrin-mediated uptake appears partial and phagocytosis negligible under the tested conditions.

Localized BDNF Release in Early NMJ Assembly
2026-08-18
The reference study shows that muscle-derived BDNF is not released uniformly: it is trafficked to podosome-like structures, processed, and secreted locally to organize early acetylcholine receptor clusters at developing neuromuscular junctions. By combining live-cell imaging, targeted perturbations, and muscle-specific BDNF knockout mice, the work connects spatial signaling with the earliest stages of postsynaptic assembly.

PGF2α/PTGFR Controls Endometrial Breakdown via HIF-1α
2026-08-17
A 2024 study identifies PGF2α signaling through PTGFR as a major regulator of endometrial shedding and vascular permeability in a mouse menstrual-like model. Its combination of receptor antagonism, HIF-1α inhibition, vascular readouts, and promoter-binding analysis supports a mechanistic HIF-1α–PTGFR–VEGF axis while highlighting important limits on translation to human menstruation.

2-D08: Selective Protein Sumoylation Inhibition
2026-08-17
2-D08, also called 2’,3’,4’-trihydroxyflavone, is a small-molecule inhibitor of protein sumoylation that blocks SUMO transfer from UBC9 without blocking E1 activation or UBC9-SUMO thioester formation. Its reported use is limited to in vitro mechanistic studies, including topoisomerase I sumoylation inhibition in breast cancer cells.
