Nucleic Acids as Emerging Regulators of Calcium Phosphate Biomineralization

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 17, 15 September 2026.
Calcium phosphate biomineralization has traditionally been considered a protein‐regulated process. This review highlights the emerging role of nucleic acids, which interact with mineral phases through adsorption, coprecipitation, and templating, thereby influencing crystal nucleation and growth.

Nucleases and Their Inhibitors: Exploring Biological Roles, Industrial Applications, and Challenges in Heterologous Expression

Biotechnology Journal, Volume 21, Issue 9, September 2026.
Graphical Abstract and Lay Summary Intracellular nucleases, depicted as blue circles in a nucleosome, hydrolyze phosphodiester bonds, repair damaged DNA using DNA base excision repair (BER), mismatch repair (MMR), and homologous recombination (HR), and are involved in DNA replication.

G‐Quadruplexes: Structural Diversity and Emerging Roles in Biomolecular Condensation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 45, 13 August 2026.
G‐quadruplexes (G4s) fold into diverse intra‐ and intermolecular structures, positioning them as emerging regulators of biomolecular condensation. Mechanistically, G4s autonomously form condensates, act as structural platforms to initiate and stimulate condensation, or induce phase transitions.

Pharmacological Bypass of Cockayne Syndrome B Function in Neuronal Differentiation

Cell Reports, 2016
Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by growth abnormalities, premature aging, and photosensitivity. Mutation of Cockayne syndrome B (CSB) affects neuronal gene expression and differentiation, so we attempted to ...

Functional Mapping of Neurodevelopmental Disease Pathways to Key Neurodevelopmental Processes Represented in the Developmental Neurotoxicity In Vitro Testing Battery

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
Human‐relevant methods are essential for modern chemical safety assessment. This study helps define the capabilities and boundaries of an in vitro testing battery for developmental neurotoxicity by exploring its biological applicability domain. By linking neurodevelopmental disease‐related pathways to key neurodevelopmental processes, the work enhances
