Bacterial toxins modifying the actin cytoskeleton [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Numerous bacterial toxins recognize the actin cytoskeleton as a target. The clostridial binary toxins (Iota and C2 families) ADP-ribosylate the actin monomers causing the dissociation of the actin filaments.

ZBTB18 Dysfunction Promotes Neuropathic Pain via CHD4‐based Epigenetic Disinhibition of CLIC1 Channels in Sensory Neurons

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, we identify a novel functional role of ZBTB18 in regulating trigeminal‐mediated neuropathic pain. Nerve injury reduces ZBTB18 in trigeminal ganglion neurons, impairing CHD4/NuRD recruitment and de‐repressing Clic1. Elevated CLIC1 enhances chloride channel activity and neuronal hyperexcitability, thereby driving pain.

Matrix Stiffness Orchestrates Mesenchymal Stem Cell Lineage Commitment Toward Osteogenesis and Adipogenesis Through the PIEZO1/SP1/STC2 Axis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Matrix stiffness directs mesenchymal stem cell lineage commitment through PIEZO1‐dependent activation of the SP1/STC2 pathway. Stiff matrices favor osteogenesis and suppress adipogenesis, whereas the loss of PIEZO1 function impairs early bone formation. STC2 retains lineage‐regulatory activity even when PIEZO1 is inactive.

Unravelling the Distinct Phenotype and Mechanosensitive Properties of Different Tendon Cell Populations

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Tendon interfascicular and fascicular matrix cells are isolated and cultured, revealing distinct phenotypes and mechanosensitive responses. Interfascicular matrix cells exhibit marked stiffness‐dependent phenotypic plasticity, whereas fascicular matrix cells remain comparatively stable.

Arrayed Magnetic Accelerator Synergistically Enhances Orthodontic Tooth Movement via Microtubule Assembly‐Mediated Periodontal Remodeling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical orthodontic treatment for malocclusion is limited by slow remodeling and risks due to poor biomechanical sensing. This study shows that static magnetic fields (SMFs) enhance mechanical sensation in periodontal ligament cells, promoting inflammation and osteoclast activity.

The Interplay of Curvature, Geometry, and Topology Shapes Tissue Organisation in Epithelial Shells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Purely geometric 3D Voronoi models predict the organisation of epithelial shells. The interplay of curvature, geometry, and topology enriches the number of pentagons in shells with lower number of cells. Small MDCK cysts and Mouse embryos match the top polygonal configurations in a compactness‐based ranking derived from the Voronoi model. In conclusion,

Spatiotemporal Multi‐Omic Mapping Reveals Liver‐Muscle Metabolic Crosstalk in Cancer Cachexia

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The interactive CCAtlas platform delineates cross‐species, spatiotemporal, and sex‐specific molecular dynamics and metabolic rewiring across organs during cancer cachexia. Hepatic Gamt downregulation curtails hepatic creatine synthesis to trigger systemic creatine insufficiency and consequent skeletal muscle atrophy in LLC tumour‐bearing mice ...

YTHDC1 Orchestrates Glucose and Glutamate Rewiring to Overcome Lethal Metabolic Stress in Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Lai et al. find that m6A reader YTHDC1 is specifically overexpressed in triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) and orchestrates glucose and glutamine metabolism in an m6A‐dependent manner to confer robust adaptability to lethal metabolic stress. Leveraging YTHDC1 knockdown‐induced metabolic vulnerability, an ATF4 mRNA‐targeted nanotherapy is developed to
