Adiponectin Protects Cognition After Splenectomy
2026-09-30
The reference study reports that adiponectin attenuates splenectomy-associated cognitive deficits in aged rats by reducing hippocampal neuroinflammation and oxidative-stress responses. Pharmacological inhibition and activation of TLR4 support a mechanistic role for the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway, while also highlighting the limits of inferring causality from a single animal model.

RNA Fidelity in Cancer Stemness Research
2026-09-27
Translational studies of tumor stemness depend on distinguishing genuine RNA expression from signal contributed by contaminating DNA. This article connects DNase I (RNase-free) treatment to experimental rigor in cancer-signaling research, using CCR7–Notch1 findings in mammary tumor cells as a case study. It outlines practical considerations for RNA extraction, RT-PCR, in vitro transcription, and chromatin-focused workflows, while clarifying what DNA digestion can—and cannot—establish about tumor biology.

Mebendazole Triggers PANoptosis in AML
2026-09-26
A 2025 preclinical study reports that mebendazole inhibits acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells by disrupting TUBA1A-associated cell-cycle progression and engaging ZBP1-mediated PANoptosis. The findings connect a potential drug-repositioning candidate to a proposed molecular target, while xenograft results support further investigation rather than establishing clinical efficacy.
