ALDH2–APC Synthetic Lethality in Colorectal Cancer
2026-08-11
Liang et al. identify aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) inhibition as a vulnerability of APC-deficient colorectal cancer, linking Disulfiram treatment to ROS accumulation and ASK1/JNK-driven apoptosis. The study provides a genotype-informed framework for cancer research, while also highlighting the need to distinguish ALDH2-dependent effects from Disulfiram’s other biochemical activities.

Metabolic Sensitization of Ferroptosis and Cuproptosis
2026-08-11
The reference study develops a Cu–tannic acid/liposome nanosystem carrying STF-31 to inhibit glycolysis and compensatory NAD+ metabolism, thereby increasing tumor-cell susceptibility to ferroptosis and cuproptosis. Its broader contribution is to connect metabolic depletion, regulated cell death, immunogenic cell death, and tumor immune remodeling in one therapeutic design.

Functional Metagenomics Reveals Cas9 Inhibitors
2026-08-10
Forsberg et al. developed a functional metagenomic selection that identified anti-CRISPR proteins directly from human oral and fecal microbiomes. The study revealed AcrIIA11 as a potent, mechanistically distinct SpyCas9 inhibitor with activity in bacteria and human cells, demonstrating how phenotype-based screening can expand anti-CRISPR discovery beyond sequence annotation.
