Detrimental Effect of Low‐Magnitude High‐Frequency Vibration in an Ex Vivo Model of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration Despite Estrogen Treatment

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Low‐magnitude high‐frequency vibration (LMHFV), with or without 17β‐oestradiol (E2), exacerbated papain‐induced bovine intervertebral disc degeneration, reducing cell viability, impairing matrix production, and increasing inflammation. E2 showed no protective effect against papain‐induced degeneration or LMHFV.

Mitochondrial DNA: A Key Alarmin Igniting the Inflammasome Fire in Health and Disease

Immunology, Volume 178, Issue 2, Page 218-230, June 2026.
This review illustrates how mitochondrial DNA, released under cellular stress, acts as a key alarmin that ignites innate immune sensors, particularly inflammasomes and the cGAS‐STING pathway. This paper details how this sustained “inflammasome fire” fuels the progression of diverse inflammatory diseases, including neurodegeneration and metabolic ...

Periodontitis in Patients With Severe Obesity: From the Oral and Gut Microbiota Dysregulation to the Visceral Adipose Tissue Inflammatory and Metabolic Disorders

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 9, 15 May 2026.
In patients with severe obesity, periodontitis is associated with oral microbiota dysbiosis which influences gut microbiota composition by increasing Proteobacteria proportion. These alterations are linked to systemic immune and metabolic changes, including higher circulating levels of anti‐Porphyromonas gingivalis lgG and deregulated lipid profile ...

Plasma cathepsin S is associated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and bilirubin in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2019
Background: Cathepsin S (CTSS) is a cysteine protease involved in atherogenesis. We compared the plasma CTSS as well as other biomarkers of atherosclerosis in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and aortoiliac occlusive disease (AOD), aiming ...

The conserved XPF:ERCC1-like Zip2:Spo16 complex controls meiotic crossover formation through structure-specific DNA binding. [PDF]

, 2019
In eukaryotic meiosis, generation of haploid gametes depends on the formation of inter-homolog crossovers, which enable the pairing, physical linkage, and eventual segregation of homologs in the meiosis I division.

Domain associated with zinc fingers‐containing NF90‐NF45 complex inhibits m6A modification of primary microRNA by suppressing METTL3/14 activity

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 5, Page 921-931, May 2026.
NF90–NF45 functions as a negative regulator of methyltransferase‐like 3/14 (METTL3/14)‐mediated N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) modification on primary microRNAs (pri‐miRNAs). NF90–NF45 binds to anti‐oncogenic pri‐miRNAs and inhibits their m6A modification, thereby suppressing the biogenesis of anti‐oncogenic miRNAs.

Development and Structural Characterization of UTE‐156, a Covalent Inhibitor of the VCP/p97 AAA+ ATPase

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
The AAA+ ATPase Valosin‐containing protein (VCP/p97) regulates protein homeostasis by unfolding ubiquitinated substrates. Here, we describe UTE‐156, a novel irreversible covalent inhibitor that modifies Cys522 in the D2 ATPase motor domain. Although its pharmacochemical limitations preclude immediate therapeutic use, UTE‐156 serves as a valuable ...

Tim54p mediates the assembly of the AAA protease Yme1p

The FASEB Journal, 2006
Tim54p is a component of the 300 kDa TIM22 complex of the yeast mitochondrial inner membrane and its specific role in mitochondrial biogenesis has not been elucidated. Tim54p contains one transmembrane domain from 38 to 55 and the N‐terminus inserts into the matrix with the bulk of the C‐terminus in the intermembrane space.
