Identification of Crucial Drug Targets and Pathways to Reprogram Drug Resistance Through Epigenetic Modulation in Advanced Lung Cancer Using Integrated Bioinformatics Approach

Computational and Systems Oncology, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Resistance to chemotherapy, which is demonstrated in almost every patient with advanced‐stage lung cancer (ALC), underscores an urgent need to unravel the underlying molecular mechanisms and identify novel strategies to overcome drug resistance. In the present study, an attempt was made to identify epigenetic targets and modulators that can be

Dysfunctional mitochondria uphold calpain activation: Contribution to Parkinson's disease pathology

Neurobiology of Disease, 2010
Calpain is a ubiquitous calcium-sensitive protease that is essential for normal physiologic neuronal function. However, mitochondrial-mediated-calcium homeostasis alterations may lead to its pathologic activation that jeopardizes neuronal structure and ...

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.

Broadening horizons: Pathogenesis and therapeutics of renal ciliopathies

Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling, Volume 20, Issue 3, September 2026.
This review elucidates the molecular mechanisms and aberrant signaling pathways in renal ciliopathies, links genetic heterogeneity to clinical phenotypes, and lays a theoretical basis for prenatal diagnosis and novel therapies. Abstract Renal ciliopathies encompass a spectrum of genetic disorders arising from structural or functional impairments of ...

Calpain-Calcineurin-Nuclear Factor Signaling and the Development of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Valvular Heart Disease and Diabetes

Journal of Diabetes Research, 2016
Calpain, calcineurin (CaN), and nuclear factor of activated T cell (NFAT) play a key role in the development of atrial fibrillation. Patients with valvular heart disease (VHD) are prone to develop atrial fibrillation (AF).

Molecular Mediators Associated With Myelination, Demyelination, and Remyelination in the Peripheral Nervous System

Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System, Volume 31, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is responsible for innervating all regions of the body outside of the central nervous system (CNS), the latter consisting of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. While myelin is an essential component for the efficient functioning of both CNS and peripheral nerve cells, it is particularly important for ...

Calpain in Traumatic Brain Injury: From Cinderella to Central Player

Cells
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a major global health concern and a leading cause of death and disability, especially in young adults. It triggers complex secondary injury cascades, e.g., calcium dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction and protease ...

Recent Advances in Fluorescent Probes for Imaging Enzyme Activity in NETosis

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
Fluorescent probes enable real‐time visualization of neutrophil effector functions. This review summarizes current probe design strategies and emerging tools for imaging key enzymatic activities, with emphasis on mechanisms underlying NETosis, a lytic form of neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation. We discuss current limitations, challenges, and
