This paper identifies PPTD, the first selective ZIP14 inhibitor, showing it reverses ZIP14-driven cytotoxicity and ameliorates cancer cachexia in mice.

This study compares drug metabolic capacity and cytotoxicity of Caco-2 cells, cryopreserved enterocytes, and stem cell-derived intestinal epithelial cells to identify a better model for drug discovery.

This study identifies and characterizes EnvV2-Fca, a placenta-specific protein from an endogenous retrovirus in cats, and explores its evolutionary and potential zoonotic implications.

The paper identifies soluble truncated Env proteins from endogenous FeLV as antiviral restriction factors that inhibit retrovirus infection through competitive receptor binding.
