Hippo Modules Direct Hepatobiliary Maturation
2026-09-16
This preprint identifies HPO1 and HPO2 as spatially and temporally distinct Hippo pathway modules that regulate hepatocyte and cholangiocyte maturation in mouse liver. Its combination of genetic perturbation, spatial transcriptomics, and imaging reframes Hippo signaling as a set of developmental checkpoints rather than only a general controller of organ size.

Coronavirus Macrodomain–PARP Antagonism and IFN
2026-09-15
Grunewald et al. showed that coronavirus macrodomains counter host PARP-dependent ADP-ribosylation, allowing macrodomain-defective virus to evade replication restriction and impaired interferon induction. Pharmacologic inhibition and targeted depletion of PARP12 and PARP14 provide a framework for dissecting this host–virus pathway while distinguishing broad PARP effects from enzyme-specific mechanisms.

CNQX: AMPA/Kainate Receptor Antagonist
2026-09-14
CNQX, also known as 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione, is a competitive AMPA and kainate receptor antagonist used to isolate non-NMDA glutamatergic signaling. Its reported neuronal preparation IC50 values are 0.3 μM for AMPA receptors and 1.5 μM for kainate receptors, while a recent rat study used CNQX to distinguish AMPA/kainate signaling from NMDA-dependent cardiovascular responses.

Cathepsin B inhibitor CA-074: Practical Guide
2026-09-08
CA-074 provides potent, selective inhibition of cathepsin B for separating CTSB-dependent proteolysis from broader cysteine-protease activity in biochemical, cellular, and disease-model workflows. It is appropriate for mechanistic research in cancer metastasis, neurotoxicity, and immune response modulation, but dossier potency values should not be treated as cell-based dosing, in vivo efficacy, or comprehensive off-target selectivity evidence.
