Lamotrigine in BBB Research: Evidence and Limits
2026-10-05
Lamotrigine is relevant to CNS research because its reported pharmacology and brain exposure questions intersect with blood–brain barrier assessment. This overview examines what the 2025 LLC-PK1-MOCK/MDR1 study actually demonstrated, how its findings may frame conceptual Lamotrigine research, and where the evidence remains insufficient. It distinguishes supplier information from peer-reviewed findings and explains why in vitro permeability, sodium-channel pharmacology, and cardiac safety should not be treated as interchangeable endpoints.

Thioredoxin Control of CHK1 Inhibitor Sensitivity
2026-10-03
A 2024 Nature Communications study identifies thioredoxin 1 as a determinant of CHK1 inhibitor sensitivity in non-small cell lung cancer, linking redox recycling of RRM1 to deoxynucleotide availability. Its findings support a mechanistic rationale for combining CHK1 and thioredoxin reductase inhibition, while remaining limited to preclinical evidence.

SUMO Protease (Ulp): Practical Cleavage Workflow
2026-09-28
SUMO Protease (Ulp), a recombinant Ulp1 protease, removes SUMO fusion tags by cleaving after the SUMO C-terminal Gly-Gly motif, supporting affinity purification and downstream protein analysis. Use it with SUMO-tagged constructs and verify cleavage in your own buffer and target context; it is not a general-purpose enzyme for removing unrelated tags.
