EHD4 and ASAP2 are critical negative regulators of the claudin‐5‐based endothelial barrier
Cell‐surface CLDN‐5 protein levels can be evaluated using a probe that can bind to the extracellular domains of CLDN‐5. A probe derived from Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin allows us to isolate cells with high CLDN‐5 protein levels from a knockout cell library.

Cystine (Cys2) deprivation in pancreatic cancer cells induces oxidative stress that destabilizes cytosolic iron–sulfur cluster (ISC) proteins, triggering an iron‐regulatory protein (IRP)‐mediated iron‐starvation response (ISR). This leads to increased iron uptake (via TFRC), an expanded labile iron pool, and ferroptosis.

Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type I (CDA‐I) arises from mutations in Codanin1 and CDIN1. Using quantitative biophysical approaches, we show that disease‐associated mutations disrupt the CDIN1‐Codanin1 complex. Our findings provide critical insights into the molecular mechanism that links protein dysfunction to disturbing chromatin arrangement ...

The malate–aspartate shuttle supports thermogenic lipid mobilization in brown adipocytes
Brown fat cells burn lipids within their mitochondria to generate heat. This process involves two energy “shuttles,” one of which is naturally blocked during heat production. We found that the second shuttle (MASh) is not required to generate heat. However, when MASh is disabled, the fatty acids meant for fuel are instead converted back into stored fat.

A noncanonical role for Jagged1 in endothelial mechanotransduction
This study reveals a noncanonical role for Jagged1 in endothelial mechanotransduction. Shear stress modulates Jagged1 expression and subcellular localization. Loss of Jagged1 attenuates mechanotransduction and reduces Src, VEGFR2, and ERK signaling. Direct mechanical stimulation of Jagged1 induces activation of these signaling pathways.
