Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Abstract Kinase inhibitors are essential in targeted cancer therapy, yet resistance often emerges through secondary mutations, activation of compensatory signaling pathways, or drug‐efflux mechanisms. Artificial intelligence (AI) provides a workflow‐based strategy rather than a list of unrelated tools for predicting and addressing kinase‐inhibitor ...

ABSTRACT Mitochondrial dysfunction and energy imbalance caused by chemotherapy are key contributors to skeletal muscle atrophy, which severely impacts the quality of life in cancer patients. Paclitaxel, a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent, is known to promote muscle wasting and cellular senescence, largely by impairing mitochondrial function.

RTA‐408 Enhances Radiosensitivity and Inhibited Tumor Progression via JNK Pathway in Glioblastoma
ABSTRACT Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor with poor prognosis owing to its high invasiveness and resistance to therapy. RTA‐408, a synthetic triterpenoid and nuclear factor erythroid 2‐related factor 2 activator, exhibits anti‐inflammatory and anti‐cancer properties; however, its effects on GBM remain unclear. This study investigated the

Protein glycosylation in lung cancer from a mass spectrometry perspective
Abstract Lung cancer is a severe disease for which better diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Increasing evidence implies that aberrant protein glycosylation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of lung cancer.

CRISPR Enabled Precision Oncology: From Gene Editing to Tumor Microenvironment Remodeling
CRISPR technology has progressed from a prokaryotic immune system to a diverse suite of editing platforms, including Cas nucleases, base and prime editors, and RNA‐targeting enzymes. These advances enable precise genomic and epigenomic interventions, high‐throughput functional screening, and immune engineering.
