Ivacaftor and Triple CFTR Therapy: In Vitro Evidence
2026-09-21
Shaughnessy and colleagues investigated why prolonged ivacaftor exposure can appear to reduce CFTR activity in vitro despite the clinical benefit of ivacaftor-containing therapies. Their Ussing chamber experiments indicate that ivacaftor increases constitutive CFTR-mediated ion transport when combined with tezacaftor and elexacaftor, clarifying its functional importance in triple CFTR modulation.

Dabigatran Acylglucuronide: Potency and Assays
2026-09-19
The 2022 Pharmaceutics study directly compared dabigatran with its major active metabolite, dabigatran acylglucuronide, across thrombin generation and routine coagulation assays. Its results show that the metabolite retains anticoagulant activity but is less potent, an observation with practical implications for interpreting metabolite exposure and designing coagulation studies.

Magneto-Piezoelectric Scaffolds for Infected Bone Repair
2026-09-17
The reference study develops a dual-responsive, 3D-printed scaffold that combines magnetic biofilm disruption with ultrasound-mediated metabolic reprogramming of Icam1+ macrophages. Its central mechanistic finding is that activating JAK2-STAT3 while suppressing MAPK-JNK signaling can restore oxidative phosphorylation and coordinate infection control with bone regeneration.
