From Pharmacophore to Warhead: NAD+‐Targeting Triazoles as Mechanism‐Based Sirtuin Inhibitors

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 52, December 22, 2025.
We report “Sirtuin Trapping Ligands” (SirTraps), mechanism‐based 1,2,3‐triazole inhibitors that hijack sirtuin (SIRT) catalysis to form covalent triazolium– or triazole–ADP‐ribose (ADPR) adducts from NAD+. These trapped intermediates stall the enzyme in an inactive state, providing a biocompatible alternative to thiocarbonyl inhibitors and a blueprint ...

Hsp90 Inhibition on the Western Blot: N‐Terminal Versus C‐Terminal Inhibitors in Breast Cancer

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is an established and clinically validated anticancer target. By regulating the folding and maturation of diverse client proteins, it is indirectly involved in carcinogenesis. Key breast cancer oncogenic drivers, including estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, are ...

From Association to Mechanism: Regulatory Annotation and Pathway Mapping of Genes Surrounding Breast Cancer Risk Variants

Computational and Systems Oncology, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Inherited factors account for a large share of breast cancer susceptibility, yet the biological consequences of most risk variants are still poorly understood. To address this gap, we studied 175 breast cancer risk variants confirmed by genome‐wide association studies and gathered the genes that lie near them.

Nucleotide Metabolism in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Nucleotide metabolism, including de novo synthesis, salvage pathways, and catabolism, when dysregulated contributes to cancer, immune disorders, metabolic and urological diseases, and radiation injury. Metabolites such as adenosine, cGAMP, NAD, and cAMP and enzymes like RNR are promising therapeutic targets and biomarkers.

Discovery of an Adaptive Neuroimmune Response Driving Itch and Fast Tick Removal with Implications for Preventing Pathogen Transmission

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 32, 9 June 2026.
Itch‐induced tick removal (IITR): An acquired neuroimmune mechanism, itch‐induced tick removal, develops after repeated tick exposure, mobilizing T cells and macrophages at the tick bite site to trigger a rapid scratching response that facilitates timely tick removal within a critical window that precedes the transmission of many tick‐borne pathogens ...

NAD+‒circadian rhythm coupling in dementia

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The circadian rhythm system and sleep coordinate whole‐body functions across the 24‐h cycle, yet these rhythms progressively deteriorate with neurodegenerative diseases, including dementia. Growing evidence indicates that nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) interacts with the circadian system through multiple molecular pathways and that ...

HRS Degradation‐Induced Nicotinamide Deficiency in Placental Extracellular Vesicles Triggers Preeclampsia by Disrupting Maternal‐Fetal Immune Homeostasis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 11, 23 February 2026.
This study shows that lower NAM levels in PE‐derived pEVs correlate with disease severity. NAM‐deficient pEVs reduce Th1 and Th17 inhibition, leading to PE‐like symptoms. NAM in pEVs inhibits Th1 via SIRT1 and Th17 via macrophages. Reduced NAM in PE‐EVs is due to decreased HRS expression in trophoblasts, resulting from elevated HSP27.

Prokaryotic defense systems: Diversity and evolutionary adaptation

mLife, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 3-16, February 2026.
Abstract Bacteriophages and archaeal viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth. Through a long‐standing co‐evolutionary arms race, they have driven the emergence of a diverse repertoire of prokaryotic defense systems. This review summarizes these systems, highlighting their diverse antiviral mechanisms across distinct stages of viral ...

Oxytocin Enhances Demethylation Through TET Enzyme Expression in Neurons of Aged Mice: Oxytocin as a Potential Antiaging Peptide

Aging Cell, Volume 24, Issue 10, October 2025.
DNA methylation, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and senescence interact to form a vicious cycle. Here we report that oxytocin interrupts this vicious cycle by increasing TET2 expression, inducing DNA demethylation in aged neurons and raising plasma oxytocin levels, decreasing systemic inflammation.
