Condensates loosen chromatin's grip on cancer
Condensation of the helicase SMARCAL1 promotes chromatin accessibility, the resistance of tumours to radiation (through improved DNA repair), and T cell exhaustion (by altering methionine metabolism). Digoxin, a cardiac drug, represses SMARCAL1 condensates, restraining oesophageal cancer and improving responses to radiation and immunotherapy.

Digitalis - nothing to do with tech, Latin / Greek word relating to fingers - a derivative is used as heart medication (digoxin), but too much can easily kill.
And afaik the "fox" etymology isn't 🦊, but some corruption of "folks' gloves", as in fairy folk.

Nursing students: before a high-alert drug, there's usually a lab that says go or hold.
Potassium before digoxin, loop diuretics, insulin and IV K+.
INR before warfarin. aPTT on a heparin drip.
Platelets on heparin (watch for HIT).
Glucose before insulin.
Lab first, then the drug. 💊

Mackenzie's 1911 paper 'Digitalis' in the journal Heart proved the value of foxglove medication.
It has been in widespread use ever since. At its height in the 20th century, around 80% of heart failure patients in the UK were prescribed digoxin.

Perhaps one of the better known examples of a herbal ingredient with a clear link to a modern pharmaceutical usage, digoxin - a heart medication - comes from foxglove leaves.

Digoxin was isolated in 1930 by chemist Sydney Smith working for pharmaceutical company Burroughs Wellcome. It came from Digitalis lanata (woolly foxglove) rather than the common foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) used by William Withering.
Of course, all of our exhibition's felt foxgloves are woolly!
