CF10–EdU Synergy Drives Telomere Attrition in CRC
2026-08-21
Das and colleagues show that the fluoropyrimidine polymer CF10 synergizes strongly with EdU in colorectal cancer models, whereas EdU plus 5FU is only additive. The combination increases EdU incorporation and double-strand breaks, reduces telomere staining, and drives S–G2/M arrest with mitotic catastrophe, revealing a telomere-integrity mechanism beyond conventional thymidylate synthase inhibition.

Dual-Action Kinase Inhibitors and p38α Dephosphorylation
2026-08-14
The reference preprint shows that selected kinase inhibitors can do more than block p38α MAP kinase catalysis: they can also accelerate WIP1-mediated dephosphorylation of the activation loop. Biochemical and X-ray structural data connect this effect to an inhibitor-stabilized kinase conformation that exposes phospho-threonine, suggesting a strategy for improving inhibitor potency and signaling specificity.
