Nav1.5 Ser571, Late INa, and the Aging Heart
2026-09-15
The 2024 reference study identifies Nav1.5 phosphorylation at Ser571 as a mechanistic link between increased late sodium current, delayed ventricular repolarization, and impaired diastolic relaxation during cardiac aging. By combining age comparisons with phosphomimetic and phosphoablated mouse models, cardiac measurements, and myocyte mechanics, the work shows how late INa can connect electrical and mechanical dysfunction.

Rotigotine and Bladder Control in Parkinson’s Rats
2026-09-14
The reference study connects rotigotine pharmacology with lower urinary tract dysfunction in a 6-hydroxydopamine rat model, showing that administration route and timing produce different cystometric outcomes. Its findings support careful evaluation of dopaminergic therapies for bladder overactivity rather than assuming that motor benefits predict autonomic effects.

TSPAN18–STIM1 Signaling in Prostate Cancer Bone Metastasis
2026-09-12
Zhou et al. identified TSPAN18 as a regulator of STIM1 stability that protects STIM1 from TRIM32-mediated ubiquitination and degradation. The resulting increase in STIM1-dependent calcium entry promotes prostate cancer migration, invasion, and bone metastasis, providing a mechanistic link between protein turnover and metastatic signaling.

Ertugliflozin Cardiovascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes
2026-09-11
The VERTIS CV trial evaluated long-term cardiovascular safety of ertugliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Its main contribution was demonstrating noninferiority for major adverse cardiovascular events, while the directionally favorable heart-failure and renal findings did not establish statistical superiority.
