Translophagy—A potential link between autophagy impairment and translational errors

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by the accumulation of abnormal proteins and protein aggregates, but their origin often remains unknown. We propose that selective autophagy removes damaged protein‐making machinery, preventing errors during protein synthesis.

Natural Killer Cell Plasticity in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer and Their Therapeutic Implications

Cells
Natural killer (NK) cells are key mediators of antitumor immunity; however, NK cell dysfunction in epithelial ovarian cancer should be considered not as a uniform defect, but rather as compartment-specific states that differ across the blood, ascites ...

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

IL-10-STAT3 axis preserves epithelial mitochondrial homeostasis during bacterial challenge

Gut Microbes
Increasing evidence implicates mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with the IBD-associated pathobiont adherent-invasive E. coli-LF82 (AIEC) promoting epithelial mitochondrial depolarization and fragmentation

A context‐dependent modulatory role for eIF6 in acquired resistance to vemurafenib in melanoma

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Acquired resistance to vemurafenib upregulates the translation factor eIF6 in melanoma cells. Silencing eIF6 in resistant cells reduces proliferation and partially restores drug sensitivity, whereas its overexpression increases sensitivity across melanoma lines regardless of BRAF status, via modulation of mTOR, S6K, and MAPK signaling.

Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4) overexpression as an oncogenic driver and prognostic marker for unfavorable outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma

World Journal of Surgical Oncology
Background A significant challenge in improving outcomes for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients is the scarcity of reliable prognostic markers and predictive tools.

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?
