Moxidectin–Polyene Synergy in Oral Candidiasis
2026-09-02
A 2024 study found that Moxidectin enhances amphotericin B and nystatin activity against Candida albicans by increasing fungal ergosterol biosynthesis and polyene binding. The work combines isolate testing, transcriptomics, ergosterol-pathway mutants, and a mouse oral candidiasis model to support Moxidectin as a preclinical polyene potentiator rather than a stand-alone antifungal.

PRC2 Recruitment to DNA and RNA Inhibition
2026-08-26
Wang and colleagues used reconstituted human PRC2–nucleosome complexes to show that linker DNA, rather than most tested histone features, dominates PRC2 binding under their biochemical conditions. The study also provides a mechanistic explanation for RNA-mediated inhibition: RNA competes with linker DNA for PRC2, sequestering the complex away from nucleosome substrates rather than simply blocking its methyltransferase active site.
