Fra2/LCN2, Macrophage Ferroptosis, and PM2.5 Asthma
2026-08-30
A 2026 Redox Biology study identifies Fra2-driven LCN2 activation as a mechanistic link between PM2.5 exposure, defective mitophagy, and ferroptosis in M2 macrophages during asthma exacerbation. The work combines multi-omics, promoter-binding analysis, cell biology, and macrophage-specific gene silencing to connect intracellular iron dysregulation with airway inflammation and impaired lung function.

BH3-Mimetic Targeting in Glioblastoma
2026-08-25
Koessinger and colleagues show that glioblastoma, including patient-derived stem-like cells, is highly dependent on anti-apoptotic BCL-xL and MCL-1. Their work connects elevated expression with functional apoptotic priming and demonstrates that sequential targeting of these survival proteins can suppress tumors in vivo without overt toxicity in the tested models.
