Tofacitinib Citrate: From JAK3 to Vascular Insight
2026-08-22
Tofacitinib citrate (CP-690550 citrate) is widely used to interrogate JAK-STAT signaling, lymphocyte biology, and inflammatory responses. This thought-leadership analysis connects its established immune-regulatory role with a 2025 endothelial-cell study, showing why cytokine suppression should not be equated with vascular normalization. The article provides translational framing, assay parameters, concentration-aware guidance, and a strategic approach to interpreting JAK inhibitor phenotypes.

ERCC1 Deficiency, p53, and Cisplatin Response in Lung Cancer
2026-08-19
Heyza and colleagues used CRISPR-Cas9-engineered lung cancer models to show that the response to ERCC1 deficiency and cisplatin depends strongly on p53 status. The study identifies a synthetic-viability phenotype in which p53 disruption reduces apoptosis and improves survival despite impaired ERCC1-associated interstrand crosslink repair, highlighting why ERCC1 alone may be an inadequate platinum-response biomarker.
