TECTB Variants Reveal Tectorial Membrane Vulnerability in Dominant Non‐Syndromic Hearing Loss
TECTB is a non‐collagenous protein of the tectorial membrane – an extracellular matrix of the cochlea. This study identifies dominant missense variants in TECTB linked to human hereditary deafness in two unrelated families. Genetically engineered mice homozygous for one of the variants are profoundly deaf, whereas heterozygous mice have normal hearing ...

In the post‐stroke brain, Foxa2 induces the transcriptional upregulation of Nrsn1 in NSCs. Nrsn1 functionally couples with Smarcc1, modulating its nuclear availability and protein abundance, thereby influencing Smarcc1‐associated regulatory programs linked to neuronal lineage commitment. Through this coupling, Nrsn1 promotes the differentiation of NSCs

[A&T]MLN is a triple‐modal nanoplatform with siRNA‐loaded LN coated with hybrid ACE2/macrophage membrane. It blocks viral entry, neutralizes IL‐6/IL‐1β/TNF‐α, and delivers siRNA to suppress viral replication. In a murine lung injury model, it attenuates inflammation, offering a multi‐pronged strategy against SARS‐CoV‐2 variants and hyperinflammation ...

Based on genome size‐functional breadth theory, we introduce and validate a framework that adjudicates conflicting average genome size (AGS) estimates by testing which estimate yields a gap between scaled functional diversity and scaled taxonomic diversity that is consistent with the expected positive association between genome size and gene functional

TH/TRs–COL11A2 Axis Mediates Loss of a Differentiated Astrocyte State in Hypogyrified Brains
Using a gyrencephalic congenital hypothyroidism pig model, this study reveals cerebral atrophy and cortical hypogyrification. Single‐cell sequencing identifies astrocytes as major TH‐responsive cells, with the COL11A2‐enriched Astro‐2 state nearly absent.

A minimal extracellular epitope from voltage‐gated sodium channel NaV1.7 was engineered into an isotope‐labelled antigen for antigen‐detected nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Together with AlphaFold2 (AF2), this enabled structure‐guided selection of R4C8, a human NaV1.7‐selective nanobody that labels fixed NaV1.7‐expressing cells and produces staining
