This study reveals that USP11 mediates depressive‐like behaviors and mitochondrial dysfunction in the prefrontal cortex. Mechanistically, USP11 directly binds to and deubiquitinates CK2α, thereby stabilizing its protein level and promoting mitochondrial impairment.

Pancreatic Islet Cell Crosstalk: Insight Into α‐/β‐Cell Compensatory Mechanisms
α‐cell remodeling compensates for impaired β‐cell function. Intra‐islet glucagon/GLP‐1 signaling is upregulated and becomes essential in prediabetic islets. Flexible receptor engagement reflects functional plasticity in hormonal control of insulin secretion. Created in BioRender. Plecita, L. (2026); https://BioRender.com/pgjjg3m.

The Supporting Role of Natural Products as Effective Adjuvants in Cancer Immunotherapy
Natural products, as multi‐target and low‐toxicity adjuvants, enhance immune checkpoint inhibitor responses and reduce immune‐related adverse events through T cell reprogramming, microenvironment remodeling, and microbiota‐immune modulation. ABSTRACT Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the treatment landscape of malignant tumors ...

Biomaterial Physical Cues as Gene Regulators for Cellular Agriculture
This review elucidates how biomaterial physical cues—ranging from matrix stiffness to remote electromagnetic fields—serve as extrinsic regulators of gene expression in cellular agriculture. By identifying central mechanotransduction pathways that bridge physical inputs to genetic remodeling, the authors propose the “Material Genome” concept: a ...

Roles of connexins in atherosclerosis and ischemia-reperfusion injury
Connexins are members of a large family of transmembrane proteins that oligomerize to form connexons or hemichannels, and connexons of adjacent cells dock to make gap junction channels.
