GOB-38 Biochemistry in Elizabethkingia anophelis
2026-08-14
Liu and colleagues characterized GOB-38, a B3-Q metallo-β-lactamase from Elizabethkingia anophelis, and found activity against penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems. The study links active-site variation with substrate preference and uses co-culture evidence to raise the possibility that E. anophelis may contribute to carbapenem-resistance dissemination during polymicrobial infection.

Tc3-Induced Pyroptosis in Hepatic Carcinoma
2026-08-12
The reference study identifies the indole analogue Tc3 as a hepatic carcinoma inhibitor that promotes PRDX1-associated oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and GSDME-mediated pyroptosis. Its combination with cisplatin or anti-PD-1 therapy produced stronger antitumor effects in experimental models, while GSDME expression and CD8+ T-cell infiltration emerged as important translational considerations.
