Immunoregulatory Role of the Mechanosensitive Ion Channel Piezo1 in Inflammation and Cancer

Molecules, 2022
Piezo1 was originally identified as a mechanically activated, nonselective cation ion channel, with significant permeability to calcium ions, is evolutionally conserved, and is involved in the proliferation and development of various types of cells, in ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Sphingomyelinases and Liver Diseases

Biomolecules, 2020
Sphingolipids (SLs) are critical components of membrane bilayers that play a crucial role in their physico-chemical properties. Ceramide is the prototype and most studied SL due to its role as a second messenger in the regulation of multiple signaling ...

Cas9 exo-endonuclease eliminates chromosomal translocations during genome editing

Nature Communications, 2022
Chromosomal structural variations induced by CRISPR/Cas hinder its application in clinics. Here, the authors fuse Cas9 with optimized TREX2 to generate Cas9TX, which can prevent perfect repair and inhibit repeated cleavage.

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Genome-wide analyses of chromatin interactions after the loss of Pol I, Pol II, and Pol III

Genome Biology, 2020
Background The relationship between transcription and the 3D chromatin structure is debated. Multiple studies have shown that transcription affects global Cohesin binding and 3D genome structures.

A Novel Acyl-AcpM-Binding Protein Confers Intrinsic Sensitivity to Fatty Acid Synthase Type II Inhibitors in Mycobacterium smegmatis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The fatty acid synthase type II (FAS-II) multienzyme system is the main target of drugs to inhibit mycolic acid synthesis in mycobacterium. Meromycolate extension acyl carrier protein (AcpM) serves as the carrier of fatty acyl chain shuttling among the ...

Bindarit inhibits human coronary artery smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration and phenotypic switching [PDF]

, 2012
Bindarit, a selective inhibitor of monocyte chemotactic proteins (MCPs) synthesis, reduces neointimal formation in animal models of vascular injury and recently has been shown to inhibit in-stent late loss in a placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...
