Alpha‐Actinin‐3 Deficiency Links Genetic Susceptibility to Renal Fibrosis: Evidence From Hemodialysis Patients and Murine Models

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
This study links the ACTN3 R577X polymorphism to chronic kidney disease (CKD), specifically in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). In parallel, increased Actn3 expression in murine models of kidney injury supports a functional role for ACTN3 in renal pathophysiology.

A Patient‐Derived Organoid Biobank of Adamantinomatous Craniopharyngioma as a Platform for Drug Discovery

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.
This study successfully establishes adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (ACP) patient‐derived organoids (PDOs) that preserve the histopathological and genetic features of the original tumors. Through drug sensitivity assays and subsequent mechanistic analyses, the study demonstrates that Ceritinib exerts its inhibitory effects on ACP PDO growth by ...

CircTspan3 Promotes Cartilage Development Through ANNEXIN A2‐Mediated Ferroptosis and Apoptosis Inhibition and Exosome‐Mediated Paracrine Signaling

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 10, 18 February 2026.
This study reveals that XBP1s drives production of circTspan3, a circular RNA that strengthens cartilage by boosting anabolic activity and limiting cell death. Phosphorylated ANXA2 directs circTspan3 into exosomes, enabling paracrine repair. Exosomal circTspan3 expands growth‐plate cartilage and promotes in vivo regeneration, highlighting its promise ...

The Effects of Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate and Calcium Hydroxide as Intracanal Medicaments on Microhardness and Fracture Resistance of Dentin: An In Vitro Study

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of sodium dicholoroisocyanurate (NaDCC) as intracanal medicament on the dentin microhardness and fracture resistance of teeth compared to calcium hydroxide (CH). Material and Methods Root canals of mandibular premolars (n = 153) were instrumented and randomized into two treatment ...

Checkpoint Inhibition May Trigger the Rare Variant of Anti-LAD-1 IgG-Positive, Anti-BP180 NC16A IgG-Negative Bullous Pemphigoid

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune blistering skin disease characterized by an autoimmune response to type XVII collagen (BP180). The generation of anti-BP180-NC16A IgG autoantibodies is considered to be central to the pathogenesis of BP, in part ...

Pathogenic Variants in Mennonites From Southern Brazil: Implications for Preventive Measures in Public Health

Clinical Genetics, Volume 109, Issue 2, Page 266-276, February 2026.
In 325 exomes of South Brazilian Mennonites, we identified 23 pathogenic variants (P) and 27 likely P, with founder effects identified for 96% of P, whose frequencies differed from non‐Finnish Europeans, Amish, and Brazilian populations. ABSTRACT The Mennonite population has a unique history of 500 years of genetic isolation shaped by at least three ...

Lichen Planus Pemphigoides: From Lichenoid Inflammation to Autoantibody-Mediated Blistering

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Lichen planus pemphigoides (LPP) is a very rare autoimmune sub-epidermal blistering disease associated with lichenoid skin changes. Initially thought to be a mere variant of more common inflammatory dermatoses, particularly Bullous Pemphigoid (BP) or ...

Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease is associated with variants in filaggrin, epithelial integrity, and cellular interactions

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: Global
Background: Previous studies have determined that up to 6% of patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) have family history of AERD, indicating a possible link with genetic polymorphisms.

Weekly Intraperitoneal Injection of Tamoxifen in an Inducible In Vivo Model of Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa Generates Early and Advanced Disease Phenotypes

JID Innovations
Junctional epidermolysis bullosa caused by loss-of-function variants in genes encoding the skin basement membrane proteins laminin 332, type XVII collagen, or integrin α6β4 affects patients from birth with severe blistering, eventually leading to ...
