How p38α Conformation Directs Dephosphorylation
2026-09-20
The reference preprint shows that selected kinase inhibitors can both block p38α catalysis and accelerate WIP1-mediated removal of the activation-loop phosphothreonine. Its biochemical assays and X-ray structures establish kinase conformation as a potential lever for improving the specificity and durability of p38 pathway inhibition.

ONC201 Rewires Metabolism and Epigenetics in DMG
2026-09-19
The reference study links ONC201 activity in H3K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma to coordinated metabolic and epigenetic changes rather than a single downstream pathway. Clinical timing, tumor sequencing, cultured-cell experiments, cerebrospinal fluid measurements, and tumor tissue analyses together show that treatment-associated 2-hydroxyglutarate accumulation coincides with restoration of repressive H3K27me3 and suppression of malignant transcriptional programs.

LRPPRC Inhibition and Dasatinib Disrupt OXPHOS
2026-09-16
A 2026 study identifies dasatinib as a synergistic partner for LRPPRC inhibition, showing that the combination blocks OXPHOS through complementary effects on nuclear- and mitochondrial-genome-encoded components. The work provides a mechanistic basis for combination strategies in LRPPRC-high, OXPHOS-dependent tumors while also highlighting the need for validation beyond cell models.
