TAK1–YAP Control of Gastric Cancer Stem Cells
2026-09-11
The reference study identifies TGFβ-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) as an inflammatory, stemness-promoting regulator in gastric cancer. Its key mechanistic contribution is linking IL-6-driven TAK1 expression to stabilization of YAP, increased SOX2 and SOX9 transcription, gastric cancer stem-cell self-renewal, and tumorigenesis.

MK-571: Linking Leukotriene Signaling to Drug Resistance
2026-09-08
MK-571 (L-660,711) is best understood not only as a cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist, but also as a strategic probe for separating airway inflammation from transporter and redox biology. This article connects its established cysLT1 pharmacology with recent macrophage findings involving system Xc−, glutathione, and ABCC1, while outlining validation strategies that reduce interpretive ambiguity in translational studies.
