Activating hidden signals by mimicking cryptic sites in a synthetic extracellular matrix

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Cryptic sites are short signaling peptides buried within the native extracellular matrix (ECM). Enzymatic cleavage of an ECM protein reveals these hidden peptide sequences, which interact with surface receptors to control cell behavior.

Anthraquinones From Epicoccum sp., a Fungus Isolated From Gut of Dione juno That Feeds on Passifloras

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 6, June 2026.
An Epicoccum fungus was isolated from gut of larvae of the butterfly Dione juno juno that feeds intensively on leaves of Passifloras. This fungus produces hydroxyanthraquinones that moderately inhibits growth of some Bacillus that coexist with the fungus in the insect gut, suggesting that it is probably important for microbial embalance in gut flora ...

Vacuolization as a Novel Approach to Cancer Therapy

open access: yesJournal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
This review discusses the novel strategy of inducing vacuole formation in cancer cells using small molecules, that induce nonapoptotic cell death mechanisms, such as paraptosis, oncosis, autophagy, and methuosis, and its potential in overcoming resistance to apoptosis‐based cancer therapies.

Mitochondrial reprogramming in lung cancer: a therapeutic vulnerability and a strategy for reversing drug resistance

open access: yesThe Journal of Pathology, Volume 269, Issue 2, Page 149-163, June 2026.
Abstract The conceptualization of mitochondria, previously restricted to their function as cellular ‘powerhouses’, has evolved to recognize their function as central coordinating hubs for the orchestration of cancer cell metabolism, signaling, and fate determination.

Neuroendocrine tumours through an epigenetic lens: Emerging insights for diagnosis and treatment

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are well‐differentiated epithelial neuroendocrine neoplasms that frequently develop in the small intestine, pancreas, and lungs. NETs originate from neuroendocrine cells specialized in hormone secretion implicated in a number of physiological processes.
