Advancing Therapies for Mycobacterial Diseases: From Small Molecules to Host‐Directed Strategies
Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The global burden of multidrug‐resistant tuberculosis (MDR‐TB) and the rising incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections highlight the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. Current treatments are prolonged, toxic, and increasingly compromised by resistance and limited diagnostic capacity.

Cystamine and Disulfiram Inhibit Human Transglutaminase 2 via an Oxidative Mechanism
Biochemistry, 2018 The catalytic activity of transglutaminase 2 (TG2), a ubiquitously expressed mammalian enzyme, is regulated by multiple post-translational mechanisms. Because elevated activity of TG2 in the extracellular matrix is associated with organ-specific diseases

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.A novel chemosensing platform based on a molecular rotor architecture is established for specific, dynamic detection of lysosomal viscosity. The platform allows real‐time tracking of lysosomal viscosity fluctuations induced by various chemotherapeutic agents, highlighting its significant potential as a powerful tool for early cancer diagnostics and ...

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.Pioglitazone is an antidiabetic drug acting as a peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonist and later repositioned as a monoamine oxidase B (MAO‐B) inhibitor. Despite promising preclinical premises, it showed a lack of efficacy in clinical trials as a treatment for neurodegenerative diseases.

Serotonylation of vascular proteins important to contraction. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) was named for its source (sero-) and ability to modify smooth muscle tone (tonin). The biological effects of 5-HT are believed to be carried out by stimulation of serotonin receptors at the plasma membrane.

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 4, August 2026.Hypoxia‐preconditioned olfactory mucosa mesenchymal stem cells (OM‐MSCs) release exosomes enriched with transglutaminase 2 (TGM2), which are taken up by astrocytes. Inside the nucleus, TGM2 activates NRF1, leading to the upregulation of TFAM. This enhances mitochondrial function by reducing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) leakage and improving mitochondrial ...
