Angiotensin Peptides and SARS-CoV-2 Spike Binding
2026-08-13
Oliveira et al. show that naturally occurring angiotensin fragments can alter SARS-CoV-2 spike-protein binding to host receptors, with particularly strong effects on AXL. The structure–activity analysis identifies peptide length, N-terminal deletion, and tyrosine modification as important variables, providing a mechanistic starting point for studying links between renin–angiotensin signaling and viral-entry biology.

Beyond Viability: Measuring Cancer Drug Responses
2026-08-12
Hannah Schwartz’s dissertation distinguishes relative viability from fractional viability, showing that anti-cancer drugs can combine proliferative arrest and cell killing in different proportions and on different timescales. This dual-metric framework offers a more precise way to design and interpret in vitro drug-response experiments, while clarifying what viability measurements can and cannot predict in translational models.

Mechanisms of Cell Death in Heart Disease
2026-08-07
This review reframes cardiac injury by showing that apoptosis and necrosis are distinct but interconnected outcomes of regulated signaling, rather than wholly separate or passive processes. Its pathway-based analysis offers practical guidance for interpreting cell-death phenotypes and for evaluating pharmacological interventions, while also defining limits on translating cardiovascular mechanisms to other disease models.
