Metabolic Intervention Boosts Ferroptosis and Cuproptosis
2026-08-19
The reference study develops SCu/L, a copper–tannic acid network/liposome system carrying STF-31 to inhibit glycolysis and compensatory NAD+ metabolism. By lowering glucose, NAD+, NADPH, ATP, and glutathione-related defenses while limiting copper efflux, the platform synchronously sensitizes tumor cells to ferroptosis and cuproptosis and supports antitumor immune activation.

HNF4A-AS1 Loss Drives Sorafenib Resistance in HCC
2026-08-17
This Theranostics study identifies the liver-enriched lncRNA HNF4A-AS1 as a regulator of sorafenib-induced ferroptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma. Its loss increases DECR1 expression through altered m6A-dependent RNA regulation, lowers intracellular polyunsaturated fatty acids, and promotes drug resistance, providing a mechanistic link between noncoding RNA and lipid metabolic reprogramming.

AmpC/AmpD Resistance to Ceftolozane-Tazobactam
2026-08-13
Deroche and colleagues combined isogenic mutant construction, sequential time-kill experiments, and semi-mechanistic PKPD modeling to separate the immediate and adaptive effects of ampC and ampD mutations in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The study shows that the AmpC G183D and AmpD H157Y substitutions can act together to produce substantial ceftolozane-tazobactam resistance, while AmpC G183D also alters adaptive resistance to imipenem.
