A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

A Novel Dysferlin‐Binding Kinase CK2α Promotes Plasma Membrane Repair in Dysferlinopathy
When the cell membrane is injured, extracellular calcium enters the cell, triggering the accumulation of dysferlin at the lesion site. In the presence of dysferlin, CK2 is efficiently recruited to the damaged membrane and maintains its kinase activity through interaction with dysferlin.

Post‐Translational Modifications in Animal Circadian Clocks
Circadian clocks coordinate physiology with daily environmental cycles through conserved transcriptional–translational feedback loops. This review summarizes how post‐translational modifications fine‐tune clock function, highlights the evolutionary convergence of circadian timekeeping in Drosophila and mammals, and emphasizes the central of these ...

Lipid and food structure determine when and how macro‐ and micronutrients become bioaccessible. This review compares lipid bioaccessibility from engineered emulsions, breast milk, infant formula, and meat and meat mimics, which couples the effect of cooking temperature on lipid bioaccessibility in meat and eggs. ABSTRACT Food structure has emerged as a

Molecular Glue Degraders Redefining Targeted Therapies From Discovery to Therapeutic Applications
Molecular glue degraders (MGDs) constitute an emerging class of therapeutic agents poised to revolutionize the paradigm of targeted drug discovery. By reprogramming E3 ubiquitin ligases to degrade proteins of interest (POI) via a transient formation of a ternary complex mediated by protein–protein interactions, MGDs surpass the intrinsic limitations of

Detection and Validation of A2 Milk Suitable for Consumers Having Milk Intolerance by ELISA Method
Casein proteins, which make up 80% of the total proteins in cow's milk, consist of mainly A1 and A2 genetic types which differ by a mutation that causes conversion from proline to histidine.

Waning light, waxing pain: The lunar cycle's association with migraine headache occurrence
Plain Language Summary While migraine headaches can be hard to predict, some patients believe headaches are connected to the moon‘s phases. Our research showed that migraine attacks were 34% more likely to occur during the new moon than during the full moon.
