RAB31 and ESCRT-Independent Exosome Biogenesis
2026-09-09
The reference study identifies RAB31 as a regulator that both drives intraluminal vesicle formation and prevents multivesicular endosome degradation. Its findings connect EGFR phosphorylation, flotillin lipid-raft domains, and TBC1D2B-mediated RAB7 inactivation into an ESCRT-independent exosome pathway with important implications for membrane trafficking research.

CFDA SE Cell Tracer Kit: Practical Workflow
2026-09-09
The CFDA SE Cell Tracer Kit provides persistent fluorescent labeling for cell lineage tracing, cell proliferation studies, and related in vitro or in vivo tracking workflows. It is appropriate when covalent, multi-day marking is needed, but not when reversible labeling, rapid dye clearance, or real-time physiological monitoring is required.

Concanavalin A and Conserved Coronavirus N-Glycans
2026-09-07
Guo and colleagues identify conserved high-mannose N-glycosylation sites near the coronavirus spike S2′ cleavage region as a broad-spectrum antiviral vulnerability. Using fusion, pseudovirus, authentic-virus, biochemical, and animal models, the study shows that concanavalin A blocks spike activation and reduces hCoV-NL63 disease in vivo, while also defining important limits for translation.

REV1–DHX36 Coordinates G-Quadruplex Tolerance
2026-09-07
Ketkar and colleagues identify a direct REV1–DHX36 interaction that couples G-quadruplex unwinding with suppression of single-stranded DNA gaps during replication. The study shows that REV1 loss redirects fork progression toward PrimPol-dependent synthesis, elevates DNA damage signaling, and increases sensitivity to G-quadruplex stabilization, providing a mechanistic framework for genome-integrity research.

circRHOBTB3 and Metastatic Prostate Cancer
2026-09-03
A 2025 Cancer Letters study identifies circRHOBTB3 as a suppressive circular RNA that limits prostate cancer proliferation and metastasis by retaining NONO in the cytoplasm and reducing MAOA transcription. The work also connects circRNA function with biogenesis by showing that SRSF9 binding to Alu elements inhibits circRHOBTB3 circularization, providing a mechanistic framework for biomarker and therapeutic research.

Phosbind Acrylamide: Practical SDS-PAGE Guide
2026-09-02
Phosbind Acrylamide is a MnCl2-containing phosphate-binding reagent for resolving phosphorylation-dependent mobility changes during SDS-PAGE, reducing reliance on phospho-specific antibodies for an initial screen. It is most appropriate for protein targets in the 30–130 kDa range and should not be treated as a site-mapping, stoichiometry, or pathway-causality assay.
