Controlling Intestinal Organoid Polarity using Synthetic Dynamic Hydrogels Decorated with Laminin‐Derived IKVAV Peptides

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Design rules are presented to control intestinal organoid polarity in fully synthetic hydrogels. The laminin‐derived IKVAV sequence is crucial to obtain correct intestinal organoid polarity. Increasing hydrogel dynamics further supports the growth of correctly polarized intestinal organoids, while a bulk level of stiffness (G’ ≈ 0.7 kPa) is crucial to ...

Phase‐Separation of YAP Mediates AJUBA Super Enhancer Activation to Promote Aberrant Mitosis in Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
YAP undergoes phase separation to activate the AJUBA super‐enhancer, driving aberrant mitosis through spindle checkpoint dysregulation in breast cancer. This study uncovers a mechanistic link between YAP condensates, super‐enhancer activation, and aneuploidy formation.

Polyhalogenated Carbazole Impairs Dopaminergic Neurons through Dysregulation of Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation in Caenorhabditis elegans

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Polyhalogenated carbazoles (PHCZ), persistent environmental contaminants, preferentially accumulate in neuronal tissues. Studies using Caenorhabditis elegans and human neuronal cell lines reveal that PHCZ induce dopaminergic neurodegeneration by promoting liquid–liquid phase separation of α‐synuclein, reducing condensate fluidity, impairing ...

EIF1AX Nucleolar Condensates Enhance Susceptibilities for the Management of Endometrial Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This schematic illustrates the mechanism of a senolytic strategy in endometrial cancer. EIF1AX facilitates the incorporation of DDX21 into nucleolar condensates, an event that suppresses rDNA transcription and induces cellular senescence. The compound 2,5‐MeC exploits this pathway by promoting EIF1AX nucleolar translocation and condensate formation ...
