Bioinorganic Site‐Specific Conjugation of Multi‐Arm Linkers to Create Pharmaceuticals With Targeting and Effector Functions

Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.
This Account showcases a modular, multi‐arm linker platform that decouples payload loading from antibody conjugation. By leveraging a computationally designed ACPGHA zinc‐binding motif, we demonstrate the construction of homogeneous antibody‐drug conjugates and theranostic antibody‐radionuclide conjugates with high payload loading. The multi‐arm linker

Lysosome-Disrupting Agents in Combination with Venetoclax Increase Apoptotic Response in Primary Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Cells Mediated by Lysosomal Cathepsin D Release and Inhibition of Autophagy

Cells
Venetoclax and obinutuzumab are becoming frontline therapies for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients. Unfortunately, drug resistance still occurs, and the combination could be immunosuppressive.

Antimicrobial Cyclic Peptidomimetics

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Singular macromolecular cationic, amphipathic cyclic peptidomimetics with poly(2‐oxazoline)s‐esque backbone structure that undergo self‐assembly in water to form uniform nanoparticles were developed. The cyclic peptidomimetics, which act on bacterial cell membranes, exhibit hydrophobic‐dependent antimicrobial activity and toxicity.

Exploring the relationship between cathepsin and age-related macular degeneration using Mendelian randomization

Frontiers in Medicine
PurposeAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of low vision and even blindness in the elderly population worldwide. However, no studies have been conducted to analyze the causal relationship between the cathepsin family and AMD.

β‐Aminoisobutyric Acid Alleviates Cisplatin‐Induced Muscle Atrophy by Regulating E3 Ubiquitin Ligases, Apoptosis, Amino Acid Metabolism, Autophagy, and Ferroptosis

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cisplatin (CIS) is a widely used broad‐spectrum anticancer agent, but its clinical application is often limited by severe adverse effects, including skeletal muscle atrophy, which compromises patients' quality of life and treatment efficacy.

Rare‐Variant Burden across Lysosomal Genes Implicates Sialylation and Ganglioside Metabolism in Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Lysosomal dysfunction is central to Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis, with GBA1 representing the strongest established genetic risk factor. Numerous other genes involved in lysosomal sphingolipid, glycosphingolipid, and ceramide metabolism have been proposed as contributors to PD, highlighting the need for genetic analyses ...

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

SARS‐CoV‐2 enhances lysosomal exocytosis and deacidifies lysosomes to facilitate viral release

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract The mechanism of SARS‐CoV‐2 egress predominantly governs the quantity and quality of progeny viruses, thereby significantly contributing to viral pathogenicity. However, the key factors influencing viral egress remain largely unclear. In this study, using transcription‐ and replication‐competent SARS‐CoV‐2 virus‐like‐particle (SARS‐CoV‐2 trVLP)

Relationship between cathepsins and cardiovascular diseases: a Mendelian randomized study

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading age-related disorders worldwide, with their prevalence increasing annually. Cathepsins are protein-degrading enzymes essential for processes such as intracellular protein breakdown, apoptosis ...

Bt agave: why it is time to explore a new biotechnological frontier

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Drylands cover 41% of Earth, requiring sustainable crops. Agave, drought‐ and heat‐adapted, offers high‐value products with low water needs. Pests limit yield, yet Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry proteins, successful in other plants, remain unexploited in Agave.
