H-Aggregated NIR-II Fluorophores for Tumor Therapy
2026-08-17
Yu et al. developed an RR9-peptide-functionalized liposome that transfers H-aggregated IR-1061 from the carrier to tumor cell membranes. The resulting system combines NIR-II fluorescence imaging with NIR-I photothermal therapy and carboplatin release, providing a mechanistic strategy for image-guided thermochemotherapy.

Cholecystokinin Octapeptide Ammonium Guide
2026-08-17
Cholecystokinin octapeptide ammonium, also called CCK-8 ammonium, is the ammonium salt of sulfated CCK-8 and a research ligand for CCK1R and CCK2R. In a rat hippocampal model, CCK-8 restored morphine-impaired long-term potentiation through CCK2R, while product information describes broader context-dependent neurobehavioral, immune, apoptotic, and cardiovascular effects.

Neuroligin 1 Proteolysis Sustains Social Memory
2026-08-16
Liu et al. show that social interaction triggers α- and γ-secretase cleavage of Neuroligin 1 in the ventral hippocampus, producing an intracellular NLG1-CTD fragment required for social memory maintenance. The fragment influences cofilin signaling, dendritic spine strengthening, and retention of sequential social memories, identifying proteolysis as an active molecular process that extends beyond initial memory formation.

AMPK, Mitophagy, and Inflammation in Diabetic Periodontium
2026-08-15
This FASEB Journal study identifies AMPK as an upstream regulator linking PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy with NLRP3-driven inflammation in mechanically loaded periodontal tissue. Its combined in vivo and in vitro design shows that high glucose suppresses mitochondrial quality control, whereas targeted AMPK activation improves mitophagy and limits inflammatory signaling.

Bestatin Dissects Jasmonate Signaling in Arabidopsis
2026-08-14
Zheng and colleagues showed that Bestatin activates jasmonate-associated gene expression and developmental responses in Arabidopsis and tomato through a COI1-dependent pathway, even when jasmonic acid biosynthesis is not strictly required. The study’s major contribution was to use Bestatin as a chemical-genetic probe, generating bestatin-resistant mutants that reveal distinct genetic relationships within jasmonate signaling.
