CIP2A, PKM2, and Oxidative Phosphorylation in NSCLC
2026-09-09
The reference study identifies CIP2A as a metabolic regulator that promotes PKM2 tetramer formation, mitochondrial localization, and oxidative phosphorylation in non-small cell lung cancer. Its findings connect a specific PKM2 phosphorylation event with tumor metabolism and suggest that combining CIP2A-directed strategies with glycolysis inhibition may provide a mechanistically grounded research approach.

IR-1061 Encapsulation in Chiral PLA Polymers
2026-09-08
The reference study shows that the enantiomeric structure of poly(lactic acid) changes how IR-1061 is accommodated, aggregated, and stabilized within a hydrophobic polymer environment. Its central practical implication is that OTN-NIR probe design should balance dye affinity, suppression of dimerization, and chemical robustness rather than selecting a carrier solely for hydrophobicity or biocompatibility.
