ATRX Loss Sensitizes Glioma to RTK and PDGFR Inhibitors
2026-08-12
The reference study shows that ATRX-deficient high-grade glioma cells are more vulnerable to several multi-targeted receptor tyrosine kinase and PDGFR inhibitors than ATRX-proficient cells. Its combination data further indicate that pairing RTK inhibition with temozolomide may create a genotype-dependent therapeutic opportunity, while also supporting ATRX status as an important variable in clinical-trial interpretation.

Plk1 Control of p31comet in Mitotic Checkpoint Disassembly
2026-08-11
Kaisaria and colleagues identify Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) as a direct regulator of p31comet, the Mad2-binding factor that works with TRIP13 to disassemble mitotic checkpoint complexes. Their biochemical and extract-based experiments show that Plk1 phosphorylation at S102 suppresses p31comet activity, providing a mechanism that prevents premature checkpoint disassembly during mitosis.
