ERK‐Mediated Phosphorylation of YAP Defines a Noncanonical FGF Signaling Mechanism in Stem Cells
With a powerful combination of in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro models, the authors highlight a novel FGF‐ERK signaling regulation of YAP at the S128 site in neural crest‐derived stem cells. This study opens exciting new directions in stem cell biology and craniofacial biology, paving the way for potential innovations in the treatment of craniofacial ...

Dynamical network analysis reveals key microRNAs in progressive stages of lung cancer.
Non-coding RNAs are fundamental to the competing endogenous RNA (CeRNA) hypothesis in oncology. Previous work focused on static CeRNA networks. We construct and analyze CeRNA networks for four sequential stages of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) based on ...

Targeting Lactate and Lactylation in Cancer Metabolism and Immunotherapy
Lactate, once deemed a metabolic waste, emerges as a central regulator of cancer progression. This review elucidates how lactate and its epigenetic derivative, protein lactylation, orchestrate tumor metabolism, immune suppression, and therapeutic resistance.

Coding and non-coding gene regulatory networks underlie the immune response in liver cirrhosis. [PDF]
Liver cirrhosis is recognized as being the consequence of immune-mediated hepatocyte damage and repair processes. However, the regulation of these immune responses underlying liver cirrhosis has not been elucidated.

This study identifies an immunometabolic axis wherein SAM‐driven PRMT1 methylates LDHA, enhancing its activity. The resultant lactate induces STAT3 K709 lactylation, which stabilizes an active conformation to promote STAT3 phosphorylation and IL‐10 expression.

Investigation of miRNA‑ and lncRNA‑mediated competing endogenous RNA network in cholangiocarcinoma
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a biliary malignancy which is prone to lymphatic metastasis and has a high mortality rate. This disease lacks effective therapeutic targets and prognostic molecular biomarkers. The aim of the current study was to investigate differentially expressed genes and elucidate their association with CCA and the underlying mechanisms

PET Imaging of Cardiac Inflammation in Viral Myocarditis Using a DPP4‐Targeted Probe
This study describes a DPP4‐targeted PET probe for imaging myocardial inflammation by selectively targeting activated immune cells. Derived from the clinically approved small‐molecule inhibitor linagliptin, the probe demonstrates favorable biodistribution with specific cardiac uptake in myocarditis.

Comprehensive analysis of lncRNA-associated competing endogenous RNA network in tongue squamous cell carcinoma [PDF]
Background Increasing evidence has demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in the competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks in that they regulate protein-coding gene expression by sponging microRNAs (miRNAs).

PHLPP2 is regulated by competing endogenous RNA network in pathogenesis of colon cancer
Recently, homologous pleckstrin-homology (PH)-domain leucine-rich-repeat protein phosphatases (PHLPP2) has been reported as a tumor suppressor in colon cancer. This study aimed to unravel the possible involvement of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) regulating PHLPP2 in colon cancer.
