FGFR3 Inhibition in SLC26A2 Chondrodysplasia
2026-08-09
The reference study combines genetic models, inducible postnatal deletion, chondrocyte assays, and NVP-BGJ398 treatment to show that excessive FGFR3 signaling contributes to SLC26A2-related skeletal dysplasia. Its findings support FGFR3 pathway inhibition as a mechanistically grounded, but still preclinical, strategy for improving chondrocyte differentiation and bone microarchitecture.

Adipose-Neural Signaling in Cardiac Arrhythmias
2026-08-08
This preprint identifies a mechanistic adipose-neural pathway in which epicardial adipose tissue-derived leptin activates sympathetic neurons, increases neuropeptide Y release, and promotes cardiomyocyte arrhythmia through NPY1R, NCX, and CaMKII. Its multicellular co-culture model and patient observations provide a useful framework for studying arrhythmogenesis while highlighting the limits of translating in vitro findings into clinical therapy.
