N-MYC–eIF4G1 Survival Axis in inv(16) AML
2026-08-31
Peramangalam et al. identify a previously unrecognized MYCN enhancer and show that N-MYC sustains inv(16) acute myeloid leukemia through the translation-initiation factor eIF4G1. By integrating transcriptomic analysis, enhancer studies, functional perturbation, and patient-derived xenograft models, the study connects CBFβ-SMMHC-associated transcriptional deregulation with leukemic cell survival.

H2S Deficiency and ER Stress in Diabetic Cardiomyopathy
2026-08-27
The reference study identifies reduced endogenous hydrogen sulfide production as a mechanistic contributor to lipotoxic myocardial injury in diabetic cardiomyopathy. Using patient samples, diabetic rats, and palmitate-treated cardiomyocytes, it links H2S deficiency to endoplasmic reticulum stress and shows that H2S donation or ER-stress inhibition can reduce cardiac injury.

N-MYC–eIF4G1 Survival Axis in inv(16) AML
2026-08-27
Peramangalam et al. identify N-MYC as a previously underappreciated survival regulator in inv(16) acute myeloid leukemia and connect it mechanistically to the translation-initiation factor eIF4G1. The study combines transcriptomic, enhancer, cellular, primary-sample, and xenograft evidence to define a CBFβ-SMMHC-associated survival pathway and suggest experiments for testing its therapeutic vulnerability.

Annexin V-FITC/7-AAD Apoptosis Kit Guide
2026-08-26
The Annexin V-FITC/7-AAD Apoptosis Kit provides a rapid two-color method for separating viable, early apoptotic, late apoptotic, and membrane-compromised cells in flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy workflows. It is suitable for cell viability and cytotoxicity assays, but it should not be used alone to identify apoptotic pathways or distinguish every form of regulated cell death.
