HOXC8, Caspase-1, and Pyroptosis in Lung Cancer
2026-09-20
The reference study identifies HOXC8 as a transcriptional suppressor of CASP1 in non-small cell lung cancer, linking HOXC8 loss to caspase-1-driven pyroptosis rather than conventional apoptosis. Its mechanistic evidence connects HOXC8 with HDAC1/2 recruitment at the CASP1 promoter and supports cholesterol-conjugated HOXC8 siRNA as a potential tumor-suppressive strategy.

Batimastat (BB-94): From MMPs to NMJ Biology
2026-09-16
Batimastat (BB-94) is more than a broad-spectrum MMP inhibitor for tumor biology. Its zinc-chelating hydroxamate mechanism offers a way to interrogate how extracellular proteolysis shapes matrix remodeling, invasion, angiogenesis, and localized BDNF processing. By connecting cancer-oriented MMP assays with recent neuromuscular-junction findings, this article presents a mechanism-aware framework for using Batimastat in translational research while distinguishing established evidence from testable hypotheses.
