Fructose and glucose from sugary drinks enhance colorectal cancer metastasis via SORD - Nature Metabolism
Feng, Luo and colleagues show that the combination of glucose and fructose, as found in sugar-sweetened beverages, promotes colorectal cancer metastasis through a mechanism involving sorbitol dehydrogenase (SORD).

Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Published online: 12 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41594-025-01614-5Wang et al. show that pregnane X receptor (PXR), a well-known DNA-binding nuclear receptor, has mRNA stabilization functions when in the cytoplasm, thus unveiling a noncanonical perspective to understand and target PXR as an RNA-binding protein.
