New and Effective Inhibitor of Class I HDACs, Eimbinostat, Reduces the Growth of Hematologic Cancer Cells and Triggers Apoptosis

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are critical epigenetic modulators involved in regulating various molecular mechanisms essential for cell development and growth. Alterations in HDAC activity have been linked to the progression of numerous cancers, including lymphoma. Over the past decade, the FDA has approved several HDAC inhibitors for lymphoma treatment, leading to heightened interest in this emerging class of drugs. Methods: In our research, we developed a novel HDAC inhibitor that exhibits high selectivity for class I HDACs. Results: Our in vitro findings indicate that treating lymphoma/leukemia cells with this inhibitor results in a marked suppression of cell growth and promotes apoptosis, while leaving the cell cycle unaffected. Conclusions: We propose that our new inhibitor, named eimbinostat, holds significant promise as a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of hematologic malignancies such as lymphoma or leukemia.

Neural tracking of natural speech in children in relation to their receptive speech abilities

Rogachev A.O., Sysoeva O. V., Cognitive Systems Research 2024 Vol. 86 Article 101236

Receptive speech is the ability to understand speech addressed to a person. It is a crucial process for a child’s cognitive development. We examine the relationship between receptive speech and neural tracking of natural speech in 52 children aged 3–8 years to infer the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying speech development.

Vague stimulating ideas, images and metaphors in scientific thinking: researchers' work with horizons of unclear knowledge

Poddiakov A., / Series Social Science Research Network "Social Science Research Network". 2026. No. 7437658.

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

Sobov P. A., Khasanov S., Kuzmin A. V. et al., Inorganic Chemistry Communications 2026 Vol. 185 Article 116055

New complex {(dppf)CpFe(CO)}(C60)⋅C6H4Cl2 (1) was obtained when stoichiometric mixture of C60 and CoII(dppf)Cl2 is reduced by two equivalents of (Cs+){CpFe(CO)2−} (dppf: 1,1`-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene).
