EVs and EV‐microRNAs (miRNAs) mediate PDAC‐skeletal muscle communication. miR‐223‐5p reduces METTL14 transcription by targeting MAFA, which subsequently decreases m6A methylation in skeletal muscles, ultimately leading to muscle wasting. This study highlights the absorption of miRNA in PDAC‐derived EVs by skeletal muscles and reveals a previously ...

The bacterial Type VI secretion system (T6SS) emerges as a sophisticated virulence mechanism, leveraging the dual‐function effector TkeA from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. TkeA concurrently damages rival bacteria and host cell DNA, triggering the host's cGAS‐STING‐TNF pathway and inducing apoptosis.

Delayed Transplantation of Neural Stem Cells Improves Initial Graft Survival after Stroke
Delayed transplantation of human iPSC‐derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs) enhances graft survival, proliferation, and axonal sprouting after stroke. Using bioluminescence imaging and histology in a mouse model of stroke, it is shown that NPC delivery at 7 days post‐stroke is more effective than acute transplantation, highlighting the importance of ...

EFTUD2 Regulates Cortical Morphogenesis via Modulation of Caspase‐3 and Aifm1 Splicing Pathways
EFTUD2, a spliceosomal GTPase linked to MFDM, regulates cortical development through apoptotic control. Conditional Eftud2 knockout in murine neural stem cells induces microcephaly and cortical disorganization, while pathogenic variants drive neuronal loss.

Autophagy‐Mediated Suppression of Tumor Growth by Food‐Grade Lipid Nanoparticles in Mice
This work reveals a novel extracellular nanoparticle transport and metabolic pathway. Following cellular uptake, Food‐grade lipid nanoparticles (FLNs) selectively fuse with lipid droplets (LDs) rather than lysosomes, driving LDs accumulation. This process activates autophagy through the AMPK‐mTOR‐ULK1 signaling axis, facilitating tumor progression ...
