Dysregulation of the KLF9/TXNRD2 Axis Leads to Mitochondrial DNA Oxidation and NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation in Ulcerative Colitis

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 9, September 2026.
In ulcerative colitis, the transcription factor KLF9 is abnormally overexpressed and inhibits TXNRD2 transcription. As a key mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme, the loss of TXNRD2 leads to disruption of mitochondrial redox homeostasis, resulting in excessive accumulation of mtROS and mitochondrial DNA damage.

Environmental Identification of Novel Enzymes for Polyurethane and Polyamide Degradation

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 35, 24 August 2026.
Heteroatom‐containing plastics such as polyurethanes and nylons are produced at scale yet remain largely unrecycled. Biocatalysts offer a promising route to depolymerization under mild conditions. Here, we present a screening platform for the discovery of novel polyurethane‐ and nylon‐degrading enzymes from environmental samples and demonstrate ...

Prevention of Myc‐Driven Prostate Cancer in Mice by Oral Administration of Sulforaphane

Molecular Carcinogenesis, Volume 65, Issue 9, Page 1052-1062, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Prevention is desirable to reduce suffering and death from prostate cancer. However, a clinical‐grade intervention for the prevention of this malignancy is still lacking. This study was undertaken to determine the feasibility of prostate cancer prevention by broccoli constituent sulforaphane (SFN) because epidemiological studies have suggested

A cofactor‐promiscuous HMGR from the Lyme disease pathogen illuminates diversity in bacterial isoprenoid biosynthesis

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi contains a highly reduced genome lacking many primary metabolic pathways. However, B. burgdorferi retains the mevalonate pathway that synthesizes isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP), the precursor to the peptidoglycan carrier lipid.

Sulforaphane attenuates aldose reductase-mediated platelet dysfunction in high glucose-stimulated human platelets via downregulation of the Src/ROS/p53 signaling pathway

Frontiers in Nutrition
BackgroundPlatelet abnormalities are well-recognized complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). High glucose (HG) increases platelet mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis and hyperreactivity in T2DM, which underlie the occurrence of thrombotic ...

A Lipid‐Conjugation Strategy for Intracellular Reactive Oxygen Species Control in Hepatic Cells

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 33, 10 August 2026.
A lipid conjugation strategy anchors a manganese Salen complex within phospholipid membranes, yielding stable, catalytically active liposomes. These lipid–metal assemblies efficiently degrade reactive oxygen species (ROS) and enable intracellular redox control in steatotic HepaRG cells, offering a precise route to biomimetic antioxidant design ...

PCK2 Inhibition Reverses Cisplatin Resistance of Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer by Triggering Ferroptosis

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 16, 31 August 2026.
Metabolic enzyme PCK2 is aberrantly upregulated in cisplatin‐resistant NSCLC cells, which inhibits ferroptosis and ultimately facilitates tumor chemoresistance. The small‐molecule inhibitor RGB‐286638 directly binds to the key R454 functional site of PCK2 protein, efficiently inhibits PCK2 expression, and rescues PCK2‐mediated ferroptosis suppression ...

Proline‐Derived N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Gold(I) Complexes With Dual DNA Binding and Thioredoxin Reductase Inhibition

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 16, 27 August 2026.
Proline‐derived Au(I)–NHC complexes display potent anticancer activity against lung and triple‐negative breast cancer cells. The cationic complexes promote DNA intercalation, thioredoxin reductase inhibition, ROS overproduction, and mitochondrial membrane depolarization, ultimately triggering apoptotic cell death through a multimodal mechanism of ...

Pyridyl‐Thiazole‐Thiosemicarbazones as Antitrypanosomatidae Agents: Design, Synthesis, and In Silico Profiling

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 16, 27 August 2026.
A novel pyridine–thiazole derivative, Compound 8, exhibited potent dual antitrypanosomatid activity. It demonstrated remarkable in vitro efficacy against Trypanosoma cruzi (IC50 = 1.0 µM) and L. amazonensis (IC50 = 3.9 µM). Molecular docking studies suggested interactions with heme and multiple molecular targets.
