L-Threonine: Metabolism and ALP Assays
2026-09-07
L-Threonine, also called (2S,3R)-2-amino-3-hydroxybutanoic acid, is an essential proteinogenic amino acid that connects protein synthesis with central carbon metabolism. Its controlled use in cell culture optimization and metabolic profiling should be separated from the chemistry of metal-free alkaline phosphatase assays.

Measuring Cancer Drug Growth Inhibition and Death
2026-09-05
Hannah R. Schwartz’s dissertation distinguishes relative viability from fractional viability, showing that drug-induced proliferative arrest and cell death are related but non-equivalent responses. The framework supports more precise timing, normalization, and endpoint selection in cancer pharmacology experiments.

cGAMP Efflux: Reframing STING in Radiotherapy
2026-09-04
Radiotherapy-induced DNA damage can activate cGAS-STING signaling, but new evidence shows that cGAMP export may actively shape radioresistance. This thought-leadership article explains how 2'3'-cGAMP (sodium salt) can serve as a receptor-proximal mechanistic probe for distinguishing STING competence, cGAMP trafficking, and translational response.
