Red Blood Cell‐Derived Exosomal miR‐93‐5p Promotes Lung Cancer Progression through PTEN Suppression
Red blood cell (RBC)‐derived exosomal miR‐93‐5p is elevated in lung cancer patients and correlates with poor outcomes. Exosomal miR‐93‐5p suppresses PTEN in cancer cells, enhancing proliferation, migration, and invasion. In mouse models, therapeutic inhibition with ASO‐miR‐93 5p reduces tumor growth, highlighting a bidirectional tumor‐RBC‐tumor axis ...

Chemotherapy‐induced efferocytosis drives ovarian cancer stem cell enrichment. By engulfing apoptotic cancer cells, macrophages upregulate ODC1 and produce putrescine, which elevates osteopontin (OPN) expression. Secreted OPN then activates the CD44 receptor on cancer cells, promoting stemness and chemoresistance.

This study elucidates a molecular mechanism enabling species coexistence between parasitoid wasps, showing how Asobara japonica uses a set of novel venom proteins to delay host development and exploit older hosts, thereby achieving temporal niche partitioning with Leptopilina drosophilae. Abstract Interspecific competition can drive species coexistence

Mechanism‐Driven Screening of Membrane‐Targeting and Pore‐Forming Antimicrobial Peptides
To combat antibiotic resistance, this study employs mechanism‐driven screening with machine learning to identify pore‐forming antimicrobial peptides from amphibian and human metaproteomes. Seven peptides are validated, showing minimal toxicity and membrane disruption.
