Triacetin: From Metabolic Signal to Assay Design
2026-09-11
Triacetin, also called glyceryl triacetate, is more than a formulation excipient: it is a versatile biochemical perturbant linking acetate metabolism, AMPK signaling, HDAC biology, and cancer-cell phenotypes. This guide develops an evidence-aware framework for selecting concentrations, controls, and readouts without overstating experimental findings.

Lactylation–NSUN2 Drives PDAC Perineural Invasion
2026-09-11
This 2026 Theranostics study identifies NSUN2 K692 lactylation as a metabolic mechanism that strengthens perineural invasion in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. By connecting lactate accumulation with m5C-dependent stabilization of CDCP1 and STC1 mRNAs, the work provides a mechanistic framework for studying tumor–nerve interactions and potential intervention points.

CGRP/SP–Piezo2 Signaling in Trigeminal Neuralgia
2026-09-09
Liao et al. identify a Ca2+-dependent CGRP/SP–Piezo2 positive-feedback loop linking trigeminal root compression, neuroinflammation, and facial mechanical allodynia. The study combines a chronic trigeminal nerve root compression model with pharmacological, knockdown, behavioral, and cellular experiments to define how TG neurons and Merkel cells may cooperate in trigeminal neuralgia.

GPER1 in Prostate Cancer Chemoprevention
2026-09-05
The reference study identifies GPER1 as a stage-sensitive protective factor in prostate carcinogenesis and shows that pharmacological activation can prevent progression from high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia to cancer in the TRAMP model. Its combination of human data, mouse chemoprevention experiments, and mechanistic cell studies provides a framework for evaluating GPER1 as a prevention target, while also defining important translational limitations.
