Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

D1-like dopamine receptors promote B-cell differentiation in systemic lupus erythematosus

Cell Communication and Signaling
Background Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that currently cannot be completely cured with a great health burden. Since the production of autoantibodies plays a key role in the pathogenesis of SLE, discovering the underlying ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

MIZ-1 controls transcriptional programs required for BCR signaling, actin dynamics, and naïve B cell survival

Frontiers in Immunology
B cell receptor (BCR) signaling is required for the regulation of normal B lymphocyte development. However, many B cell lymphoma subtypes employ constitutive BCR signaling for transformation, survival, and growth.

Epigenetic reprogramming of lineage switching in cancer

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer cells rarely commit to a single identity. Epigenetic mechanisms and tumor microenvironment cues push epithelial cells toward flexible, hybrid states that can shift into mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, or stem‐like fates, driving metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. Targeting the epigenetic regulators behind these transitions, using

The microbiome in human skin aging

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Essential Envelope Spike Motifs for Cell Entry of Transmissible Gastroenteritis Virus and Its Evolution in Coronavirus

Receptors
Background: Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), a coronavirus (CoV) infecting pigs, uses its spike (S) glycoprotein to bind porcine aminopeptidase N (pAPN) for cell entry. Although structural studies have identified receptor-binding motifs (RBMs)

Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.
