Resibufogenin Blocks NLRP3 in Atherosclerosis
2026-08-18
The reference study identifies resibufogenin as a preclinical inhibitor of NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and links this activity to reduced plaque inflammation, lipid accumulation, fibrosis, and macrophage foam-cell formation in ApoE−/− mice. Its combination of animal, cellular, docking, and surface plasmon resonance experiments provides a mechanistic framework for evaluating NLRP3-directed interventions in atherosclerosis.

Radiotherapy, PD-1/TIGIT Blockade, and Immune Memory
2026-08-14
The 2025 Cancer Letters study shows that local radiotherapy combined with PD-1 and TIGIT blockade can induce systemic tumor control and durable immune memory in several mouse tumor models. Its mechanistic analysis places activated, less-exhausted CD8+ T cells and M1 macrophage–T-cell crosstalk at the center of the abscopal response.
