Ponicidin has demonstrated effectiveness against HCC by promoting mitochondria apoptosis and generating ROS through the stabilization of the Keap1-PGAM5 complex. However, ROS can exhibit both tumor-promoting and tumor-suppressing activities in cancers, and exhibit different effects depending on its source-mtROS vs non-mtROS. Additionally, since ROS from different sources possesses distinct functions, mitochondria-targeted antioxidants, and non-targeted antioxidants may have entirely different effects on cancer progression.

Dengue virus (DENV) is a rapidly expanding infectious disease threat that causes an estimated 100 million symptomatic infections every year. A barrier to preventing DENV infections with traditional vaccines or prophylactic monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapies is the phenomenon of Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (ADE), wherein sub-neutralizing levels of DENV-specific IgG antibodies can enhance infection and pathogenesis rather than providing protection from disease. Fortunately, IgG is not the only antibody isotype capable of binding and neutralizing DENV, as DENV-specific IgA1 isotype mAbs can bind and neutralize DENV while without exhibiting any ADE activity.

Background: Adaptative desaturation in fatty acid (FA) is an emerging hallmark of cancer metabolic plasticity. Desaturases such as stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) and fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2) have been implicated in multiple cancers, and their dominant and compensatory effects have recently been highlighted. However, how tumors initiate and sustain their self-sufficient FA desaturation to maintain phenotypic transition remains elusive.
