Cytoskeletal Dynamics in Cancer: From Pathogenesis to Treatment

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
This review systematically addresses the fundamental roles of the cytoskeleton (actin filaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments) in cancer progression. We focus on how cytoskeletal dynamics regulate tumor proliferation, metastasis, and programmed cell death, while also modulating the immune microenvironment. Understanding these mechanisms may

Antioxidant Chemistry of Phenolics in Chinese Herbal Medicines: A Holism‐Based Review

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.
Phenolic antioxidants in CHMs mainly include chalcone, stilbene, flavonoid, xanthone, and Diels–Alder‐type adducts. They undergo direct and indirect pathways to exert antioxidant action. The indirect pathway is transition metal‐chelating, while the direct pathway comprises several redox‐based reactions (e.g., SET and HAT) and RAF reactions.
