27-Jul-2025 Breakthrough study reveals key mechanism behind therapy-resistant leukemia stem cells FAR Publishing Limited A groundbreaking study in Current Molecular Pharmacology uncovers how deeply quiescent leukemia stem cells (LSCs) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) evade therapy by suppressing mitochondrial complex I (MC-1) and relying on fatty acid oxidation (FAO). Led by Dr. Nyam-Osor Chimge and Dr. Michael Kahn, the research identifies the CBP/β-catenin antagonist ICG-001 as a potential strategy to force differentiation and eliminate resistant cells. "Targeting this metabolic vulnerability could revolutionize CML treatment," said Dr. Kahn. Journal Current Molecular Pharmacology

25-Jul-2025 Molecular mechanism uncovered: Beta-Carotene keeps enzymes active under heavy load Technical University of Munich (TUM) Enzymes are vital to metabolism and drive countless biological processes in humans, plants, and industry. Yet, when overwhelmed by excess substrate, some enzymes slow down — a phenomenon known as substrate inhibition. This can hinder drug effectiveness and industrial efficiency. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have explored this mechanism and found that beta-carotene may help counteract it. Journal Nature Communications
