Neurokinin‐1 receptor activation protects against cardiac fibrosis, inflammation and diastolic dysfunction in type 2 diabetic mice

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose The pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)‐induced cardiomyopathy involves cardiac fibrosis that leads to diastolic dysfunction. We established that replacement of lost substance P (SP) that occurs in T2DM reduces cardiac fibrosis and decreases inflammation in T2DM mice and non‐human primates.

ADSC‐Derived CCL8 Regulates HIF‐1α Signaling and Promotes Colorectal Cancer Progression in a 3D Coculture Platform

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration showing how CRC‐associated ADSC‐derived CCL8 promotes colorectal cancer cell migration through ERK/HIF‐1α signaling in a 3D coculture platform. ABSTRACT This study aimed to recapitulate adipose‐tumor interactions within the colorectal cancer (CRC) tumor microenvironment (TME) and to elucidate the role of adipose‐derived stem ...

High Uric Acid Promotes Stem Leydig Cell Senescence by CCDC90B Mediates Mitochondrial Quality Control Imbalance

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
In hyperuricemia, uric acid inhibits CCDC90B ubiquitination degradation by binding to it. Excessive CCDC90B induces mitochondrial calcium overload, leading to mitochondrial quality control imbalance and ultimately resulting in SLC senescence and decreased testosterone levels.

Junctional Adhesion Molecule‐A (JAM‐A) Associates With High‐Risk Disease in Multiple Myeloma Patients and a Structure‐Based Rationally‐Designed Peptide Inhibitor Attenuates Tumorigenic Features In Vitro and In Vivo

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable malignancy of terminally‐differentiated plasma cells that represents a major clinical challenge despite unprecedented therapeutic advances, particularly for patients with cytogenetically‐defined high‐risk MM (HR‐MM).

Cellular Morphometric Analysis (CellMorph)—a comprehensive imaging‐based tool for quantifying cellular phenotype heterogeneity and dynamics across biological processes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
CellMorph is a groundbreaking tool that allows researchers to analyze multiple features from single cells, including cell size and shape, cytosolic staining and subcellular texture, nuclear staining, and morphometry. By evaluating images from both bright‐field and fluorescence microscopy, it also tracks changes in living cells during key processes such

RAB4A acts as a negative feedback regulator of extracellular vesicle secretion during TGF‐β signaling

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
TGF‐β signaling regulates extracellular vesicle (EV) release in cancer cells by modulating the expression and activity of genes associated with EV biogenesis. The TGF‐β‐induced upregulation of RAB4A expression facilitates fast endosomal recycling, a process that limits the fusion of multivesicular bodies with the plasma membrane and EV secretion. Hence,

Cryo‐EM structure of GH43 β‐Xylosidase from Enterobacter cloacae provides insights into substrate specificity and the role of an auxiliary domain in enzymatic activity

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Xylan, the second most abundant plant cell wall polysaccharide, is degraded by β‐xylanases and β‐xylosidases. Here, we present the 2.65 Å cryo‐EM structure of Enterobacter cloacae β‐xylosidase (EcXyl43, GH43) and the 2.4 Å X‐ray structure of its inactive F507A mutant.

Molecular dynamics simulations elucidate the misfolding mechanisms of secretion‐defective pancreatic lipase variants

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Misfolding mutations in pancreatic lipase have been identified as potential contributors of chronic pancreatitis, an inflammatory disease of the human pancreas. Here, we describe the effect of these misfolding mutations on pancreatic lipase structure using molecular dynamics simulations and structural modeling.
