Lactate metabolism and protein lactylation in programmed cell death: From novel mechanism to therapeutic strategies in human diseases

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
This review highlights protein lactylation as a metabolic‐epigenetic regulator linking lactate reprogramming to programmed cell death. By modulating histone and non‐histone targets, lactylation reshapes cell fate decisions and represents a promising biomarker and therapeutic target in human diseases.

USP1–UAF1 deubiquitinase complex stabilizes TBK1 and enhances antiviral responses

, 2017
Optimal activation of TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) is crucial for initiation of innate antiviral immunity and maintenance of immune homeostasis. Although several E3 ubiquitin ligases have been reported to regulate TBK1 activation by mediating its ...

Clinical and Molecular Features of BAP1‐Mutated Meningiomas: Case Series

Molecular Carcinogenesis, Volume 65, Issue 10, Page 1343-1350, October 2026.
ABSTRACT BRCA1‐associated protein 1 (BAP1)‐deficient meningiomas represent a clinically and molecularly distinct subgroup with variable histology and aggressive behavior that may not be fully captured by current grading criteria. The clinical spectrum of BAP1 alterations in meningiomas, including both somatic and germline contexts, remains incompletely

Posttranslational Modifications of p62/SQSTM1 in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Schematic illustration of p62 as a posttranslational modifications (PTMs)‐programmed integrator in homeostasis, pathogenesis, and therapeutic targeting. (Left) Homeostasis: In physiological states, p62, through various PTMs such as phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and acetylation, coordinates essential cellular functions.

Ubiquitin-Specific Protease 18 in Chronic Kidney Disease—Another Emerging Biomarker to Consider?

Biomedicines
Ubiquitin-specific protease 18 (USP18) is a protein recognized for its dual enzymatic and non-enzymatic nature. It is involved in many physiological processes like the cell cycle and cell signaling.

Radiotherapy‐Induced Side Effects: Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, Prevention and Treatments

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Radiotherapy for malignancies frequently injures the organs’ systems through oxidative stress, fibrosis, inflammation, and vascular damage. This review systematically maps the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and emerging therapies to propose a mechanism‑network‑targeted framework for integrated, personalized care in radiation oncology.

Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 48 regulates Mdm2 protein levels independent of its deubiquitinase activity

, 2017
The overexpression of Mdm2 has been linked to the loss of p53 tumour suppressor activity in several human cancers. Here, we present results suggesting that ubiquitin-specific peptidase 48 (USP48), a deubiquitinase that has been linked in previous reports

Targeting the miR‐224‐5p/PTEN pathway: A previously under‐characterized strategy to attenuate mesangial cell injury and predict prognosis in diabetic nephropathy

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, Volume 17, Issue 10, Page 1744-1758, October 2026.
Serum miR‐224‐5p levels are progressively elevated in diabetic nephropathy (DN) and serve as an independent predictor of a decline in eGFR of ≥30% over 2 years. Mechanistically, miR‐224‐5p directly targets PTEN 3’‐UTR, suppressing PTEN and the activation of the AKT pathway in high‐glucose‐stimulated mesangial cells.

Substrate‐Selective Inhibition of the SARS‐CoV‐2 Papain‐Like Protease: Inhibition of Hydrolysis of Human Over Viral Substrates

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 36, 24 September 2026.
The SARS‐CoV‐2 papain‐like protease (PLpro) is a medicinal chemistry target. Here we report mass spectrometry assays employing oligopeptide substrates based on the sequences of the viral polyproteins 1a/1ab and on an ISG15‐modified human protein, which enabled the identification of substrate‐selective PLpro inhibitors.
