Nanoplastic–Cadmium Apoptosis via IP3R/Ca2+/STAT3
2026-08-13
A 2026 Toxicology study links polystyrene nanoplastic–cadmium co-exposure to intestinal apoptosis through an IP3R/Ca2+/STAT3 signaling axis. By combining C. elegans, Caco-2 cells, and pathway-directed inhibitors, the work positions calcium mobilization as a mechanistic connection between environmental co-exposure, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and cell death.

TGF-β, Sca-1, and Mammary Cell Plasticity
2026-08-12
The reference study shows that TGF-β dynamically regulates Sca-1 expression while reshaping lineage commitment and tumor-initiating potential in mouse mammary epithelial models. Its central contribution is the separation of endogenous Smad2/3/4-dependent Sca-1 repression from an exogenous TGF-β response that does not require Smad2/3, providing a mechanistic framework for studying epithelial plasticity.
