Kupffer Cell Plasticity in Liver Metastasis
2026-08-07
The reference study shows that liver metastasis-associated macrophages are maintained not only by recruited monocytes but also by local macrophage proliferation and infiltration of reprogrammed Kupffer cells. Its lineage-tracing and single-cell strategies clarify why monocyte depletion alone may produce limited remodeling of the immunosuppressive hepatic niche.

Agatoxin IVA, Veratridine, and Excitotoxicity in Cortical Ne
2026-08-05
This study rigorously tested whether inhibition of P/Q-type calcium channels by ω-agatoxin IVA could protect cortical neurons from excitotoxic injury induced by veratridine, ouabain, or NMDA. Contrary to expectations, blocking glutamate release via these channels did not confer neuroprotection, refining our understanding of the mechanisms driving excitotoxicity and highlighting complexities in targeting calcium channel subtypes.
