iTBS in SCA3 Mice: Motor and Molecular Effects
2026-09-09
A 2026 study in The Cerebellum shows that intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS), but not continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) to the same extent, improves coordination and modifies cerebellar pathology in SCA3/MJD mice. The work is notable for linking behavioral outcomes with ataxin-3 aggregation, neuroinflammatory markers, cytokine changes, and autophagy-related proteins.

Deep Learning for iPSC-CM Cardiotoxicity Screening
2026-09-09
The eLife study developed a scalable workflow that combines high-content imaging, induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, and deep learning to detect cardiotoxic phenotypes across compound libraries. Its single-parameter scoring strategy supports early safety triage, while the reported limitations show why image-based predictions should be followed by mechanistic and electrophysiological validation.

Nanoparticle PTEN mRNA Reverses Trastuzumab Resistance
2026-09-08
Dong and colleagues developed a tumor-microenvironment-responsive nanoparticle platform for systemic PTEN mRNA delivery in trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive breast cancer models. By restoring PTEN expression and inhibiting PI3K/Akt signaling, the approach improved responsiveness to trastuzumab while illustrating how stimulus-responsive delivery can address resistance downstream of HER2.
