Withaferin A attenuates ovalbumin induced airway inflammation
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2019 The molecular mechanism of how airway inflammation develops is not fully understood. Withaferin A (WA) is a natural phytochemical isolated from the plant Withania somnifera. It is a well-investigated bioactive compound that possesses a variety of health-promoting effects, including anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities.

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 15, August 2026.ABSTRACT Proteolysis‐targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are heterobifunctional molecules that hijack the ubiquitin‐proteasome system to drive catalytic, sub‐stoichiometric degradation of disease‐associated proteins, offering a mechanistic advantage over occupancy‐driven inhibitors and access to ‘undruggable’ targets.

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 ...

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, Volume 42, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a life‐threatening stroke subtype that lacks effective drug therapy. In the context of ICH, neuroinflammation, and ferroptosis are key contributors to secondary brain injury. In this study, we assessed the neuroprotective effects of matrine (MAT) and its mechanism of action involving the HMGB1/RAGE axis in an ...

Metal‐dependent regulated cell death: Molecular architecture and translational frontiers
iMeta, Volume 5, Issue 3, June 2026.Intracellular metal dyshomeostasis orchestrates distinct regulated cell death programs, including iron‐driven ferroptosis, copper‐mediated cuproptosis, calcicoptosis, newly designated zincoptosis, mnoptosis, and coptosis. This review systematically delineates their molecular architectures—spanning from Sorafenib‐induced lipid peroxidation and ...

Vacuolization as a Novel Approach to Cancer Therapy
Journal 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.

Molecular Cancer, 2010 Background Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major obstacle in cancer treatment and is often the result of overexpression of the drug efflux protein, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), as a consequence of hyperactivation of NFκB, AP1 and Nrf2 transcription factors. In
