The desmosomal cadherin Desmoglein-2 controls extracellular matrix expression and remodeling via NF-κB signaling in keratinocytes

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
Desmogleins are transmembrane cadherin proteins and obligate members of the desmosome, a cell-cell adhesion complex which connects adjacent cells and provides structural integrity to tissues.

Genome‐Wide In Vivo RNAi Screening Identifies HOXD4 as a Tumor Metastasis Suppressor in Colorectal Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Metastasis remains a major challenge in colorectal cancer. Using an in vivo shRNA screening system, this study identifies Homeobox D4 as a key metastasis suppressor. Reduced Homeobox D4 expression is associated with aggressive tumor features. Functional and mechanistic analyses show that it inhibits epithelial‐mesenchymal transition by repressing ...

Developmentally Inspired Bioprinting of Nascent Multicellular Human Heart Tissue Through in Situ Differentiation and Morphogenesis of iPSCs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A developmentally inspired bioprinting approach enables the fabrication of pluripotent tissues that undergo shape‐morphing and in situ cardiac lineage specification. This method employs embedded bioprinting to deposit iPSCs within soft granular hydrogels to create pluripotent tissue constructs that undergo cell‐mediated shape morphogenesis.

Structural determinants of adhesion by Protocadherin-19 and implications for its role in epilepsy

eLife, 2016
Non-clustered δ-protocadherins are homophilic cell adhesion molecules essential for the development of the vertebrate nervous system, as several are closely linked to neurodevelopmental disorders. Mutations in protocadherin-19 (PCDH19) result in a female-

Loss of E3 Ubiquitin Ligase RINES via CpG Methylation Relieves Suppression of STAT3 and MYC, Facilitating Multiple Tumorigeneses

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dysregulated protein modifications drive tumorigenesis. RINES, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, represses tumor cell proliferation and metastasis by facilitating RING domain‐dependent, ubiquitin–proteasome‐mediated degradation of STAT3 and MYC, which consequently restrains cancer stemness and oncogenic progression.

Aptamer‐Targeted PrPC Drives Colorectal Cancer Metastasis via a LYN‐STAT3 Complex and Enables Liquid Biopsy Detection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The aptamer WHY‐3E identifies PrPC as a CRC driver. Stabilized by USP18, endocytosed PrPC forms a LYN/STAT3 complex, upregulating MSN transcription to promote metastasis. Crucially, WHY‐3E sensitively detects PrPC‐positive circulating exosomes, establishing a robust theoretical foundation for non‐invasive clinical diagnostics.

Herba Lysimachiae Polysaccharide‐Modified Selenium Nanoparticles Alleviate Oxidative Injury in Kidney Stones via TOMM22‐Regulated Mitophagy Activation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
HLP‐SeNPs, a Lysimachia christinae polysaccharide‐modified selenium nanoparticle, treat kidney stones by downregulating TOMM22 expression, which reduces PINK1 translocation into mitochondria and promotes its retention on the outer mitochondrial membrane.

Imaging‐Guided Live Single‐Cell Lipid Profiling of Leader and Follower Cells During Collective Migration of Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Integrated single‐cell mass spectrometry reveals distinct lipidomic signatures that differentiate leader and follower phenotypes in migratory breast cancer cells. Phenotype‐specific alterations across various lipid classes, including fatty acids and phosphatidylcholines, underpin functional heterogeneity.
