Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.

Neutralization of the PTX3/CD44 axis suppresses TGF‐β1 signaling in kidney fibrosis
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study investigates how the PTX3/CD44 axis promotes kidney fibrosis by activating TGF‐β1 signaling. We demonstrate that the neutralizing antibody WHC‐001 effectively inhibits this pathway, suppressing myofibroblast activation and partial epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

KDM7A and KDM1A inhibition suppresses tumour promoting pathways in prostate cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Treatment resistance is a major challenge for patients with advanced prostate cancer. This study examined an alternative approach to target the major prostate cancer‐promoting pathway by targeting epigenetic factors, whose levels are higher in tumours.

Zhongguo youzhi为改善芝麻ACE抑制肽的味道，分别采用活性炭与树脂对芝麻ACE抑制肽进行脱苦，以脱苦率、多肽损失率为评价指标，采用单因素实验和正交实验对两种脱苦工艺条件进行优化，并比较两种脱苦方法对芝麻ACE抑制肽味觉特性、活性及氨基酸组成的影响，以确定最适宜的脱苦方法。结果表明：两种方法均能使芝麻ACE抑制肽液苦味降至无法察觉，活性炭脱苦最佳工艺条件为活性炭2号添加量6%、芝麻ACE抑制肽液质量浓度10 g/100 mL、吸附温度55 ℃、吸附时间15 min，在此条件下脱苦率与多肽损失率分别为（96.46±0.57）
