In silico docking yields small molecule negative allosteric modulators targeting the core of Frizzled 7. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
In summary, we provide here the proof-of-principle that targeting FZDs with small molecule compounds is possible and effective. Future hit optimization and functional validation in disease-relevant in vitro and in vivo models will pave the way towards clinical exploration.

Safety and efficacy of zolbetuximab plus chemotherapy for claudin 18 isoform 2-positive advanced gastric cancer: initial report of real-world experience. (PubMed, J Cancer Res Clin Oncol)
Zolbetuximab plus chemotherapy was administered to real-world patients with CLDN18.2-positive AGC with acceptable safety profiles and showed preliminary antitumor efficacy. Nevertheless, some adverse events warrant careful monitoring.

Bruceine A abrogates pancreatic cancer metastasis by suppressing PFKFB4-glycolysis-EMT axis. (PubMed, Phytomedicine)
These findings unveil PFKFB4-glycolysis-EMT axis as a druggable vulnerability in PC metastasis and position bruceine A as a potential first-in-class, dual-function agent that simultaneously suppresses tumor growth and dissemination through metabolic reprogramming.

TRAP1 induced cisplatin resistance in gastric cancer cells by regulating oxidative stress. (PubMed, Front Mol Biosci)
TRAP1 represented a potential biomarker and a therapeutic target in GC treatment. This study provided a new strategy for improving the efficacy of CDDP-based chemotherapy through individualized treatment approaches.

Construction and validation of a colorectal cancer diagnostic model based on ferroptosis-related genes. (PubMed, Saudi Med J)
These outcomes provide an efficient ferroptosis-related gene-based diagnostic model for CRC. Nevertheless, before its use in real-time settings, more clinical studies are required to confirm its diagnostic value.
