: TFEB activation is associated with prolonged survival in LUAD patients, suggesting potential benefits of TFEB agonists in LUAD treatment. In this study, we identify ginkgetin (GK), derived from , as a natural TFEB agonist, which has demonstrated promising anticancer effects in our previous research. TFEB activation has been shown to promote GPX4 degradation, inducing ferroptosis; however, the specific E3 ligases, deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), and types of polyubiquitination chains involved remain unclear.

Fascin, a 55-kDa actin-bundling protein, is highly expressed in mature DCs and serves as a marker protein for their identification. However, the precise role of fascin in intratumoral DCs remains poorly understood.

Such brilliant enantioselectivities are partially contributed by CuH-catalyzed favorable kinetic resolution of the cyclization products. This protocol tolerates a broad range of functional groups, allowing for further construction of tricyclic and bridged-ring structures.

A good enantioselectivity is also achieved in the asymmetric version. The hemiboronate group in the cyclization products could be subjected to several useful transformations.
