KAT2A Deficiency Suppresses Lung Cancer Progression by Downregulating MYC Through Decreasing MYC Succinylation

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Succinylation has been shown to promote lung cancer development, but its mechanism remains incompletely understood. KAT2A, a succinyltransferase, acts as an oncogene in multiple cancers, but its role in mediating lung cancer progression is unclear.

Hydrogels for Cancer Immunotherapy: Strategies From Construction to Application

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Hydrogels offer an innovative platform for cancer immunotherapy. Through tailorable crosslinking strategies, they form customizable drug delivery platforms that address diverse therapeutic requirements by loading specific immunotherapeutic agents. These systems demonstrate significant clinical potential for precise tumor immunotherapy.

Bacterial Expression of Gene‐Encoding DNA Origami Structures

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Bacterial targeting via programmable DNA origami, varying in rigidity and compactness is unexplored. In transformation assays, origami reduces transformation efficiency compared to single‐stranded scaffolds. Structural features and surface modifications, however, improve transformation outcomes.

Regulation of R‐Loop Dynamics by Proteins and Long Noncoding RNAs: An Emerging Paradigm for Cancer Treatment

Cancer Science, Volume 117, Issue 2, Page 297-307, February 2026.
R‐loops are three‐stranded nucleic acid structures whose dysregulation leads to genomic instability and cancer progression. This review summarizes the protein and lncRNA machineries that regulate R‐loop dynamics and discusses the therapeutic potential of targeting these pathways in cancer.

Effect of prolonged voluntary wheel running on oxidative stress and defence mechanisms in cortex and hippocampus of healthy female rats

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, Page 449-463, 1 February 2026.
Abstract Physical exercise promotes brain health and cognitive function possibly through mechanisms that include strengthened resistance to oxidative stress. However, limited research has explored the cumulative effects of regular voluntary exercise on both oxidative stress and defence mechanisms in hippocampus and cortex, two regions essential for ...

Deregulated enhancer‐promoter communication in cancer through altered nuclear architecture

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 2, Page 409-422, 15 January 2026.
Abstract Enhancers are critical regulators of gene expression. Structural variations in cancer genomes can lead to enhancer hijacking, where oncogenes are activated by mistargeted enhancer activity. Novel enhancer‐promoter interactions may also arise through chromosomal rearrangements that create extrachromosomal DNA elements.

Trapping of the transport-segment DNA by the ATPase domains of a type II topoisomerase

Nature Communications, 2018
Type 2 topoisomerases alter DNA supercoiling by an ATP-dependent reaction involving DNA passage through a cleaved DNA duplex. Here the authors present the crystal structure of the ParE ATPase domains of S.

Our Evolving Understanding of the Mechanism of Quinolones

Antibiotics, 2018
The maintenance of DNA supercoiling is essential for the proper regulation of a plethora of biological processes. As a consequence of this mode of regulation, ahead of the replication fork, DNA replication machinery is prone to introducing supercoiled ...

Treatment with Minicircle DNA Expressing a FGF23 Fragment in a Clinically relevant Mouse Model of X‐Linked Hypophosphatemic Rickets

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, 19 January 2026.
The pathogenic role of PHEX isn't fully determined, and there is no radical cure for X‐linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLHR). This study makes the first attempt to perform gene therapy using a minicircle DNA (MC‐DNA) vector expressing a fragment of FGF23 (amino acids 180‐251) in Phex‐T1349C mice and suggests MC‐DNA as a promisingly safe and effective ...

Geometrically Encoded Positioning of Introns, Intergenic Segments, and Exons in the Human Genome

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, 30 January 2026.
This study introduces a new hypothesis: exons, introns, and intergenic segments are non‐random projections of the functional layers of 3D structure of chromatin packing domains. Evidence is presented that this “geometric code” may encode volumetric structure, reconciling epigenetic patterns, correlates with oncogenic mutations, acting as a potential ...
