Discovery of a Novel DNMT1 Inhibitor with Improved Efficacy in Treating β‐Thalassemia
Context of Research: β‐thalassemia affects millions worldwide. DNMT inhibitors are effective HbF‐inducers that benefit patients with β‐thalassemia. Existing DNMT inhibitors are not approved for β‐thalassemia treatment due to dose‐limiting toxicity.What We Find: DMT207 traps DNMT1 into helix‐kinked inactive conformation and enhances its interaction with

Lei et al. demonstrate that cancer stem cells (CSCs) play a pivotal role in impairing the differentiation of CD103+ T cells in patients with non‐small‐cell lung cancer. The key mechanism involves CSC‐derived acetyl‐CoA, which disrupts CD103+ T cell differentiation by sequentially inducing acetylation and ubiquitination of the Blimp‐1 protein. Targeting

A tunable, ethylene‐responsive cascade governing the dose‐dependent balance between fiber length and strength is unveiled. Elevated ethylene strengthens modern tetraploid cotton (G. hirsutum) fibers but elongates those of its diploid ancestor (G. arboreum). This phenotypic switch is traced to an evolutionary functional inversion of a conserved EIN3‐ERF‐

GSK3β‐Regulated Lipolysis is Required for Histone Acetylation and Decidualization in Early Pregnancy
Uterine Gsk3b knockout impairs decidual cell terminal differentiation by causing lipid droplet accumulation. GSK3β phosphorylates RNF213 to promote its lysosomal degradation, thereby enhancing lipolysis. The released fatty acids undergo β‐oxidation to generate acetyl‐CoA, which modulates histone acetylation and regulates decidual cell terminal ...

PBLD Orchestrates the STING‐Mediated Antiviral Immune Response and Autoimmune Diseases
During viral infection, PBLD expression is downregulated, thereby subverting host antiviral defenses and promoting viral replication. This study identifies PBLD as a positive regulator of STING‐induced type I interferon activation and delineated the molecular network underlying PBLD‐mediated antiviral immunity and autoimmune pathogenesis, highlighting ...
