In an effort to identify HDAC isoform selective inhibitors, we designed and synthesized novel, chiral 3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-one and piperazine-2,5-dione aryl hydroxamates showing selectivity (up to 40-fold) for human HDAC6 over other class I/IIa HDACs. The observed selectivity and potency (IC(50) values 10-200 nM against HDAC6) is markedly dependent on the absolute configuration of the chiral moiety, and suggests new possibilities for use of chiral compounds in selective HDAC isoform inhibition.

Introduction: Laryngeal muscle physiology is integral to many speech, voice, swallowing, and respiratory functions. A key determinant of a muscle's contractile properties, including its fatigue profile and capacity for force production, is the myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoform that predominates in the muscle. This study surveys literature on the MyHC compositions of mammalian intrinsic laryngeal skeletal muscle to illustrate trends and gaps in laryngeal muscle fiber typing techniques, models, and concepts.

Article Synopsis
- Epigenetic processes, particularly histone modification by HDACs, are crucial in cancer development, making HDACs important targets for cancer therapies.
- The challenge with most HDAC inhibitors is their non-selective nature and drug resistance, prompting a search for more effective and isoform-selective options.
- Alectinib has been identified through virtual screening as a potential HDAC1 inhibitor with better efficiency and stability, suggesting its promise for therapy in HDAC1-related cancers, pending further validation.

Background And Objectives: Epididymal transit renders key competence to mammalian spermatozoa for fertilizing eggs. Generally, the two paralogs of glycogen synthase kinase 3, GSK3α and GSK3β, functionally overlap except in testis and sperm. We showed that GSK3α is essential for epididymal sperm maturation and fertilization.

Neuroligins are postsynaptic cell-adhesion molecules that regulate synaptic function with a remarkable isoform specificity. Although Nlgn1 and Nlgn2 are highly homologous and biochemically interact with the same extra- and intracellular proteins, Nlgn1 selectively functions in excitatory synapses whereas Nlgn2 functions in inhibitory synapses. How this excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) specificity arises is unknown.

Mechanical stresses, including compression, arise during cancer progression. In solid cancer, especially breast and pancreatic cancers, the rapid tumor growth and the environment remodeling explain their high intensity of compressive forces. However, the sensitivity of compressed cells to targeted therapies remains poorly known.
