ER-Targeted Peptide Assembly and Cancer Cell Fate
2026-09-24
The study combines alkaline-phosphatase-instructed peptide assembly with an ER-targeting group to concentrate assemblies at the endoplasmic reticulum in cancer cells. The reported ER stress and selective cell death, alongside a greater than twofold reduction in IC50 versus non-ER-targeted intracellular EISA, suggest a way to address the concentration demands of this strategy.

TPCA-1 for NF-κB Signaling in Septic AKI Research
2026-09-24
Use TPCA-1 to test whether IKK-2-dependent NF-κB activity contributes to inflammatory signaling in renal tubular cell models. This workflow connects a selective pathway perturbation to cytokine, cell-survival, and miR-202-5p/HMGB2 readouts—while keeping the septic AKI evidence distinct from TPCA-1’s established product data.
