Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

The role of the Streptococcus pneumoniae capsule in interactions with complement and phagocytes [PDF]
, 2010 The Streptococcus pneumoniae capsule is an essential virulence factor and it is ideally situated to modulate interactions between the bacteria and host immune cells.

Epigenetic reprogramming of lineage switching in cancer
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cancer cells rarely commit to a single identity. Epigenetic mechanisms and tumor microenvironment cues push epithelial cells toward flexible, hybrid states that can shift into mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, or stem‐like fates, driving metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. Targeting the epigenetic regulators behind these transitions, using

Complement peptide receptors in GtoPdb v.2025.3 [PDF]
Complement peptide receptors (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR subcommittee on Complement peptide receptors [116]) are activated by the endogenous ~75 amino-acid anaphylatoxin polypeptides C3a and C5a, generated upon stimulation of the complement ...

A gammaherpesvirus complement regulatory protein promotes initiation of infection by activation of protein kinase Akt/PKB. [PDF]
, 2010 Viruses have evolved to evade the host's complement system. The open reading frames 4 (ORF4) of gammaherpesviruses encode homologs of regulators of complement activation (RCA) proteins, which inhibit complement activation at the level of C3 and C4 ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.

Complement receptors: Specific detection by molecular complexes [PDF]
, 1978 Immune complexes of BSA-anti BSA (IgG F(ab')2) will activate human complement by the alternate pathway. The C3 bound to these complexes binds to human peripheral blood mononuclear cells which bear complement receptors.
