Removing Pollen Interference in Bioaerosol EEM
2026-09-12
Zhang and colleagues developed a fluorescence-data workflow that reduces pollen interference when hazardous biological substances are classified by excitation–emission matrix spectroscopy. Combining spectral transformations with random forest classification improved recognition of the evaluated sample set and offers a practical direction for rapid bioaerosol screening.

6C Medium Extends Mouse Corneal Epithelial Proliferation
2026-09-11
An et al. developed a serum-free, feeder-free 6C culture system that preserves mouse corneal epithelial proliferative activity and limits epithelial–mesenchymal transition. The study links coordinated pathway modulation, including BMP receptor inhibition by LDN-193189, with improved progenitor-cell yields and faster epithelial wound repair in an experimental mouse model.

HyperTrap Heparin HP Column for CSC Assays
2026-09-10
The HyperTrap Heparin HP Column enables selective biochemical enrichment of heparin-binding proteins relevant to cancer stem-cell assays. This article connects CCR7–Notch1 biology with practical fractionation, assay controls, and interpretation limits rather than treating affinity capture as a substitute for pathway validation.

PPACK Dihydrochloride: A Causal Assay Framework
2026-09-08
PPACK Dihydrochloride enables precise separation of thrombin-driven coagulation from purinergic platelet signaling. This article develops a causal assay framework grounded in the NF449 platelet study, helping researchers interpret thrombin inhibition assay and platelet aggregation inhibition data more rigorously.

TRAP-1 Reactivates p53Y220C Through Induced Proximity
2026-09-08
The bioRxiv preprint reports TRAP-1, a chemical inducer of proximity that brings mutant p53Y220C into a ternary complex with BRD4 and restores transcriptional activity. In p53Y220C-expressing pancreatic cell lines, this mechanism rapidly induced p21 and other p53 target genes while suppressing cell growth, whereas control compounds unable to form the ternary complex lacked these effects.

BCECF-AM for Intracellular pH Measurement
2026-09-05
BCECF-AM is a cell membrane permeable dye and intracellular esterase substrate used for ratiometric intracellular pH measurement. Its 490/440 excitation approach can report pH-sensitive fluorescence, but plant vacuolar acidification requires compartment-specific validation.

PEDV Hijacks IMPDH-Dependent Nucleotide Biosynthesis
2026-09-04
Zhou and colleagues show that porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) reprograms host purine metabolism and depends on IMPDH2-driven guanine nucleotide biosynthesis for efficient replication. By combining comparative metabolomics, IMPDH2 knockdown, and Merimepodib (VX-497) treatment, the study identifies IMPDH as a plausible host-directed antiviral target while also highlighting cell-specific metabolic responses.
