A Novel Technology Platform for Extracellular Vesicle-Targeted Expression of Drug-Metabolizing Enzymes: Driving CYP3A4 Expression and Secretion via the EABR Motif

Biomedicines
Background: Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is a key membrane-anchored drug-metabolizing enzyme. Its expression and purification in heterologous systems are severely hindered by low yield and detergent-induced structural inactivation. Although extracellular

L‐aspartate oxidase provides new insights into fumarate reduction in anaerobic darkness in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Synechocystis strains deficient in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) secrete more succinate than the WT under dark anaerobic conditions, supporting that SDH then primarily acts as SDH, not as a fumarate reductase. L‐aspartate oxidase (Laspo) from Synechocystis is functional under anaerobic conditions, reducing fumarate to succinate.

RNA‐related functions of BRCA2 in transcription, replication, and genome stability

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Beyond its role in homologous recombination, BRCA2 regulates R‐loop homeostasis, DNA–RNA hybrid resolution, RNA polymerase II dynamics, and transcriptional activation. Disruption of any of these functions can contribute to genome instability, inflammatory signaling, and tumorigenesis. BRCA2 is a central tumor suppressor protein best known for its roles

An inflammation-responsive therapeutic gel for precise microbiota modulation in colitis

Journal of Nanobiotechnology
Microbiome dysbiosis is a hallmark of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and its reprogramming represents a promising intervention strategy. Existing treatments are often limited by gastrointestinal instability and non-specific microbial toxicity, leading

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

A context‐dependent modulatory role for eIF6 in acquired resistance to vemurafenib in melanoma

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Acquired resistance to vemurafenib upregulates the translation factor eIF6 in melanoma cells. Silencing eIF6 in resistant cells reduces proliferation and partially restores drug sensitivity, whereas its overexpression increases sensitivity across melanoma lines regardless of BRAF status, via modulation of mTOR, S6K, and MAPK signaling.
