Rack1-Linked Ferroptosis in Anorectal Malformation
2026-08-15
A 2024 Cell Proliferation study used spatial transcriptomics and functional validation to identify Rack1 as a regulatory hub linking p38-MAPK signaling, Nqo1/Gpx4 dysregulation, oxidative damage, and ferroptosis during hindgut development in an ethylenethiourea-induced rat model of anorectal malformation. The work provides a developmental framework for studying ferroptosis in congenital gastrointestinal disease while clarifying which findings still require validation beyond the rat embryo model.

KR-12–Cu(II) Binding: A Multiscale Study
2026-08-13
The reference study integrates GFN2-xTB/ALPB quantum calculations with potentiometric titration and isothermal titration calorimetry to resolve how KR-12 peptides coordinate Cu(II). Its main contribution is showing that backbone oxygen atoms dominate favorable binding modes while selected acidic and arginine residues shape the interaction landscape, illustrating why computation is valuable for interpreting dynamic peptide–metal systems.
