ICG001: A Selective Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway Inhibitor
2026-09-23
ICG001 is a Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibitor used to probe transcription driven by the β-catenin–CBP interaction. Its reported activity and research applications make it useful for pathway studies, but findings must be interpreted by model, assay conditions, and the distinction between preclinical evidence and clinical efficacy.

CHIR-99021 (CT99021) in Stem Cell Signaling
2026-09-23
CHIR-99021, also called CT99021, is a selective GSK-3α/β inhibitor used to modulate Wnt/β-catenin signaling and stem-cell fate. Evidence supports concentration-sensitive use in pluripotency, lineage differentiation, and vascularized pancreatic progenitor workflows, but reported conditions are system-specific.

RRP Restores Lipid Metabolism After Hepatic IRI
2026-09-21
The reference study shows that Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata (RRP) extracts mitigate hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury by correcting cholesterol synthesis and efflux, rather than relying only on general hepatoprotection. Its central mechanistic contribution is the identification of an AMPK–mTOR pathway that suppresses SCAP/SREBP2 activation through ERLIN1 and INSIG1 while promoting LXRα-dependent cholesterol efflux.

Intravesical p21 mRNA-LNP Therapy for Bladder Cancer
2026-09-15
A 2026 FASEB Journal study developed chemically modified CDKN1A/p21 mRNA in lipid nanoparticles for localized intravesical treatment of bladder cancer. The approach restored nuclear p21 expression, suppressed tumor-associated cell-cycle programs, and reduced tumor growth in an orthotopic mouse model while limiting systemic distribution.
