Nitric Oxide in Cancer: Mechanisms, Dual Role, and Therapeutic Strategies

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
Nitric oxide exerts concentration‐dependent dual roles in cancer, functioning as either a tumor promoter or suppressor. This review comprehensively examines NO's multifaceted regulation of tumor biology, including S‐nitrosylation signaling, metabolic reprogramming, immunemodulation, and therapy resistance, and highlights emerging therapeutic strategies

Mapping Trofinetide Polypharmacology in Rett Syndrome: A Multi‐Stage Computational Analysis

Journal of Computational Chemistry, Volume 47, Issue 21, August 5, 2026.
How can a single molecule address the complex symptoms of Rett syndrome? This computational study maps the multi‐target mechanism of trofinetide, revealing diverse modes of binding across five key receptors: GAT1, GABAA, CHRM1, AMPA, and GSK3β. From deep orthosteric anchoring to dynamic surface interactions, these structural insights provide a rational

Relationship between plasma xanthine oxidoreductase activity and left ventricular ejection fraction and hypertrophy among cardiac patients.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Background and purposeXanthine oxidoreductase (XOR), which catalyzes purine catabolism, has two interconvertible forms, xanthine dehydrogenase and xanthine oxidase, the latter of which produces superoxide during uric acid (UA) synthesis.

Microbial Oxidative Stress in Food Fermentations: A Comprehensive Review

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Oxidative stress has a dual role in food fermentations: low ROS supports adaptive signaling, whereas excessive ROS causes cellular damage and process inhibition. Managing redox state as a controllable process variable can improve fermentation robustness and final food quality.

Direct electron transfer of xanthine dehydrogenase at photo-active InGaN nanowires

Electrochemistry Communications
Indium gallium nitride (InGaN) nanowire structures were investigated as photoelectrochemical transducers for bioanalytical applications. Chopped-light voltammetry in HEPES buffer (pH 7.0) revealed a light intensity-dependent anodic photocurrent that ...

Northeast China Traditional Kimchi (Paocai) Probiotic Resources Metabolized Uric Acid and Relieved Hyperuricemia in Mice

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Traditional fermented Kimchi “paocai”, commonly consumed in Northeast China, was screened for probiotic resources capable of degrading uric acid in vitro and alleviating hyperuricemia in a mouse model. Abstract Current pharmacological therapies for hyperuricemia (HUA), though effective, pose safety concerns, including allopurinol‐induced severe dermal ...

Isobavachin Attenuates Renal and Cardiac Injury in Chronic Hyperuricemia via Modulation of NF‐κB and NLRP3 Signaling Pathways

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
Isobavachin alleviates HUA‐induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis in the kidney and heart, potentially through its dual role in promoting UA excretion and inhibiting NF‐κB signaling and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. ABSTRACT Hyperuricaemia (HUA) is a recognized risk factor for cardiovascular and renal diseases.

De novo or Salvage? Nucleotide Availability as a Driver of Bacterial Adaptation and Virulence

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Bacterial pathogens survive in different host environments by switching between making nucleotides by de novo synthesis and scavenging them from the host. This flexibility supports growth and virulence making nucleotide metabolism an attractive therapeutic target.

Pseudogenization of the Slc23a4 gene is necessary for the survival of Xdh-deficient mice

Scientific Reports
In most patients with type 1 xanthinuria caused by mutations in the xanthine dehydrogenase gene (XDH), no clinical complications, except for urinary stones, are observed. In contrast, all Xdh(− / −) mice die due to renal failure before reaching adulthood
