Ruxolitinib in Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer
2026-09-07
The reference study identifies a previously underappreciated JAK1/2–STAT3–DRP1 axis in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC). It shows that ruxolitinib suppresses STAT3-dependent mitochondrial fission and promotes both caspase-dependent apoptosis and GSDME-associated pyroptosis, providing a mechanistic framework for evaluating JAK/STAT signaling pathway modulation in ATC models.

CLCC1 and Herpesvirus Nuclear Egress
2026-08-29
A bioRxiv study identifies the host protein CLCC1 as an essential factor for membrane fusion during herpes simplex virus 1 nuclear egress, a stage distinct from virally driven capsid budding. Genetic depletion caused perinuclear capsid accumulation, impaired viral release, and defects in nuclear pore complex insertion, linking herpesvirus egress to broader nuclear-envelope morphogenesis.
