Divergent Atrial Transcriptomic Signatures in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
Diabetes alters the atrial transcriptome in atrial fibrillation, characterized by enhanced mitochondrial ATP synthesis, suppressed immune and inflammatory pathways, and distinct miRNA expression profiles, suggesting metabolic and epigenetic remodeling of the atrial substrate.

Chromobox 3 assembles an epigenetic complex contributing to cystathionine γ-lyase–mediated protection against aortic aneurysm/dissection

Nature Communications
Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), generated by cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE), protects against aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD), yet its role in extracellular matrix (ECM) regulation remains unclear.

Osteoarthritis in the Knee Joints of Göttingen Minipigs after Resection of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament? Missing Correlation of MRI, Gene and Protein Expression with Histological Scoring. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The Göttingen Minipig (GM) is used as large animal model in articular cartilage research. The aim of the study was to introduce osteoarthritis (OA) in the GM by resecting the anterior cruciate ligament (ACLR) according to Pond and Nuki, verified by ...

Drug‐Induced Cuproptosis Defines the Therapeutic Window of Celecoxib in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration via the HSP90‐RBX1 Axis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 42, 28 July 2026.
This study reveals the dual role of celecoxib in intervertebral disc degeneration. While low concentrations are protective, high concentrations induce toxicity by upregulating HSP90, which synergizes with USP15 to deubiquitinate and stabilize RBX1. This leads to degradation of COMMD1/ATP7B, copper dyshomeostasis, and ultimately, cuproptosis.

Hyaluronan (HA) Receptors: Discovery, Function & Pathology

Proteoglycan Research, Volume 4, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Hyaluronan (HA) is typically a long polymer of the repeating disaccharide, glucuronic acid‐β‐(1‐3)‐N‐acetylglucosamine polymerized by β(1‐4) bonds, with no obvious active site for biological activity. However, this dynamic polymer is vital for life in all metazoans and has a diverse array of functional characteristics due to the proteins that ...

Extracellular matrix and proteolysis: mechanisms driving irreversible changes and shaping cell behavior

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 13, Page 3788-3813, July 2026.
Irreversible ECM proteolysis by remodeling enzymes shapes development, homeostasis, and disease. ECM‐degrading proteases display cell specificity and are governed by shared mechanisms, exhibiting functional redundancy in generating matrikines, growth factors, and cytokines.

The CREB1 inhibitor 666-15 maintains cartilage homeostasis and mitigates osteoarthritis progression

Bone & Joint Research
Aims: cAMP response element binding protein (CREB1) is involved in the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). However, available findings about the role of CREB1 in OA are inconsistent.

Degradomics for large‐scale mechanistic insights on proteases and proteolysis in human health

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 13, Page 3881-3898, July 2026.
Proteolysis has an important role in human disease but remains relatively unexplored. Degradomics, the uncovering of proteolysis in tissues, cells, and proteins, uses mass spectrometry‐based terminomics to identify protein termini occurring therein (forward degradomics) and to define the actions of proteases (reverse degradomics).

Membrane‐type I metalloproteinase (MT1‐MMP): A key modifier of extracellular matrix microenvironment

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 13, Page 4085-4097, July 2026.
MT1‐MMP: A cellular microenvironment modifier. MT1‐MMP is a major cellular microenvironment modifier, maintaining collagen homeostasis by degrading excess collagen (A), creating a migration path in motile cells such as cancer cells (B), modulating local microenvironmental signaling by cleaving transmembrane receptors (C), and destroying tissue ...
