Targeting Lactate and Lactylation in Cancer Metabolism and Immunotherapy
Lactate, once deemed a metabolic waste, emerges as a central regulator of cancer progression. This review elucidates how lactate and its epigenetic derivative, protein lactylation, orchestrate tumor metabolism, immune suppression, and therapeutic resistance.

Urinary peptidomics analysis reveals proteases involved in diabetic nephropathy [PDF]
Mechanisms underlying the onset and progression of nephropathy in diabetic patients are not fully elucidated. Deregulation of proteolytic systems is a known path leading to disease manifestation, therefore we hypothesized that proteases aberrantly ...

Disulfide‐Bridged Ru Complex–Mediated Photo‐Disulfidptosis for Colorectal Cancer Therapy
In this work, a binuclear ruthenium complex, RuSSRu was developed for efficient colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment. The synergistic interaction between disulfidptosis and lysosomal damage‐induced apoptosis induced by RuSSRu amplified tumor cell death. This innovative approach offers a potent therapeutic strategy for CRC.

Detection of cathepsin D in ewe’s milk by Western Blotting method
Milk contains about 70 indogene enzymes, while only twenty of them were investigated. One of the less explored is the milk enzyme cathepsin D, proteolytic enzyme located in the lysosomes, which are an integral part of the somatic cells whose number ...

3D Bioprinted Fat‐Myocardium Model Unravels the Role of Adipocyte Hypertrophy in Atrial Dysfunction
A human‐derived 3D bioprinted fat–myocardium model is developed to investigate how adipocyte hypertrophy drives atrial dysfunction in obesity. Palmitate‐induced adipocyte hypertrophy promotes adipose dysfunction that impairs atrial cardiomyocyte metabolism and electrophysiology through both paracrine and direct interactions. This platform recapitulates

Cathepsin D-deficient Drosophila recapitulate the key features of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a group of lysosomal storage disorders characterized pathologically by neuronal accumulation of autofluorescent storage material and neurodegeneration. An ovine NCL form is caused by a recessive point mutation in

Vomocytosis: Too Much Booze, Base, or Calcium? [PDF]
Macrophages are well known for their phagocytic activity and their role in innate immune responses. Macrophages eat non-self particles, via a variety of mechanisms, and typically break down internalized cargo into small macromolecules.

Ligand‐Induced Electronic Response Enables Predictive QM/MM Simulations
Quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulations are powerful tools for modeling complex molecular systems; however, their predictability has been constrained by the ambiguous definition of the QM region. An electronically informed protocol is introduced that defines QM regions by quantifying guest‐induced orbital shifts and charge ...

Mechanical loading induces a previously unrecognized Sox9+Acan+ transitional mesenchymal cell population in the periodontal ligament that promotes osteoclastogenesis via the FGF2–FGFR2–ERK axis. Targeting this mechanoresponsive stromal population using a localized GelMA@siRNA delivery strategy attenuates pathological osteoclast overactivation and root ...

Mediators of leukocyte yctivation play a role in disseminated intravascular coagulation during orthotopic liver transplantation [PDF]
Leukocytes play an important role in the development of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). In the reperfusion phase of OLT a DIC-like situation has been described and has been held responsible for the high blood loss during this phase.
