Modeling Fragile X Syndrome in Drosophila

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Intellectual disability (ID) and autism are hallmarks of Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), a hereditary neurodevelopmental disorder. The gene responsible for FXS is Fragile X Mental Retardation gene 1 (FMR1) encoding the Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein ...

Are FXR Family Proteins Integrators of Dopamine Signaling and Glutamatergic Neurotransmission in Mental Illnesses?

open access: yesFrontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2018
Dopamine receptors and related signaling pathways have long been implicated in pathophysiology and treatment of mental illnesses, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Unraveling in vitro phase separation and aggregation properties of the structured region of FMRP and the impact of Fragile X syndrome‐linked mutations

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMRP) is a multidomain RNA‐binding protein associated with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS). We found that its N‐terminal structured region has an intrinsic propensity to undergo liquid–liquid phase separation and fibril formation. FXS‐associated mutations perturb protein stability and aggregation propensity, suggesting

FMRP‐Mediated Proteasome Regulation: A Novel Mechanism in ALS Pathology

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 13, 15 July 2026.
Schematic model of TDP‐43/TNKS‐mediated proteasome regulation in WT, FMRP‐depleted, and TDP‐43A315T‐Tg ALS neurons. In WT neurons, cytoplasmic TDP‐43 partially sequesters TNKS, maintaining balanced PI31 ribosylation and proteasome activity. FMRP depletion promotes nuclear translocation of TDP‐43, enhances TNKS/PI31 interaction, and increases axonal ...

FXR1‐Directed Alternative Splicing of MK5 Drives Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression by Activating GSK3β Signaling

open access: yesCancer Science, Volume 117, Issue 6, Page 1580-1593, June 2026.
The RNA‐binding protein FXR1 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression by driving alternative splicing of MK5 to generate an oncogenic isoform, MK5‐L, which activates the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway. Targeting FXR1 with an antisense oligonucleotide suppresses tumor growth in vivo, revealing a promising therapeutic strategy for HCC.

Gut Microbiota‐Derived Anandamide Mediates the Therapeutic Effects of Urolithin A on Alcohol‐Induced Cognitive and Social Dysfunction via CB1R‐DRD2‐RAP1 Signaling Axis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 20, 9 April 2026.
This study reveals that Urolithin A (UA) counteracts alcohol‐induced cognitive and social dysfunction (AICSD) via a gut microbiome‐dependent mechanism. UA‐enriched Bacteroids sartorii and Parabacteroids distasonis elevate anandamide (AEA), which activates the CB1R‐DRD2‐Rap1 signaling cascade to drive synaptic repair and reduce neuroinflammation ...

Molecular Responses to Climate Change: How Warming and Acidification Reshape the Proteome and Phosphoproteome of the Endangered Mira Chub

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Global environmental change affects organisms, including their physiology. In freshwater ecosystems, where migration is limited, populations often rely on phenotypic plasticity to respond. While transcriptomics has been widely used to study stress responses at the molecular level, less is known about the proteome, which reflects post ...

The ZNF148‐ZEB1‐AS1‐IGF2BP2‐NOD2 Axis Drives Microglial Antipneumococcal Immunity in Bacterial Meningitis

open access: yesGlia, Volume 74, Issue 2, February 2026.
ZNF148 upregulates ZEB1‐AS1, which scaffolds IGF2BP2 to stabilize NOD2 mRNA, enhancing microglial anti‐pneumococcal immunity via cytokine production and bacterial clearance in bacterial meningitis. ABSTRACT Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) meningitis remains a lethal central nervous system (CNS) infection with limited therapies. This study identifies the

Ferroptosis in Cancer and Inflammatory Diseases: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2025.
Ferroptosis, a form of cell death driven by iron and lipid peroxidation, serves as a bridge between cancer and inflammatory diseases. Microenvironmental factors such as oxidative stress collectively regulate this process. In cancer, ferroptosis exhibits dual roles: while it eliminates drug‐resistant cells, it may also promote tumor metastasis.

The effects and mechanisms of stem cells and exosomes on neurological function protection and recovery after ischemic stroke

open access: yesNeuroprotection, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 266-279, September 2025.
Effect and mechanism of stem cells and exosomes therapy in ischemic stroke. The effect and mechanism include protection of neuron and glial cells, repairment of nerve vascular unit, reduction of inflammation response, restoration of white matter integrity, reconstruction of neural circuit, replacement of neurons and glial cells, and anti‐ferroptosis ...
