Inhibitors supercharge kinase turnover through native proteolytic circuits - Nature
Inhibitor-induced kinase degradation is a common event that positions supercharging of endogenous degradation circuits as an alternative to classical proximity-inducing degraders.

SIGLEC12 mediates plasma membrane rupture during necroptotic cell death - Nature
CRISPR–Cas9-based genome-wide screening shows that SIGLEC12 mediates plasma membrane rupture in cells undergoing necroptosis, possibly through a human-specific mechanism, indicating its potential as a therapeutic target.

This ‘fundamental’ work substantially reveals how the cell’s glycocalyx (a dense layer of sugars and proteins on the cell surface) acts as a non-specific barrier, making it harder for viruses to interact with receptors.
