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

Actinomycin Derivatives: Structural Diversification and Biological Activities
ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.Actinomycins are chromopeptide antibiotics exhibiting remarkable structural diversity and broad bioactivity. This review traces their development from naturally occurring D‐, X‐, A‐, G‐, Y‐, and Z‐type analogs to precursor‐directed, synthetic, and semisynthetic derivatives.

Heat Shock Protein 90: From Molecular Chaperone Function to Therapeutic Targeting in Malignancies
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 38, 9 July 2026.In this review, an integrated conceptual framework linking HSP90's molecular chaperone functions to its pathological roles in cancer is proposed. HSP90 serves as a central node that integrates oncogenic signaling, buffers proteotoxic stress, maintains cancer stem cell plasticity, and shapes tumor‐immune interactions, all of which converge to drive ...
