Kaempferol Attenuates Spaceflight‐Associated Knee Cartilage Degradation by Targeting NOX4‐Mediated Mitochondrial Dysfunction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We have shown that both simulated and actual spaceflight contribute to cartilage degradation in the knees of mice. Using RNA sequencing and bioenergetic profiling, we identified NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) as a key factor driving these changes. Additionally, we found that kaempferol, a naturally occurring flavonoid that binds directly to NOX4, reduces ...

Pyrazole‐Derived Antibacterial Compounds Effectively Treat Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infections by Inhibiting Aspartate Transcarbamoylase

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study unveils a novel antibacterial mechanism against MRSA, in which the compound Py‐27 selectively targets and inhibits aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase), a key enzyme in pyrimidine synthesis. This inhibition disrupts DNA replication, induces oxidative damage, leading to potent bactericidal activity.

Interference of ATP‐Binding Cassette Transporter by Functional Nano‐Delivery System for High Efficiency Management of Insecticide‐Resistant Nilaparvata lugens

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A ZIF‐90 nanocarrier delivers dinotefuran and suppresses NlABCG3 and NlABCH1 in resistant Nilaparvata lugens. This system combines pH/ATP‐triggered release with enhanced foliar retention, improving efficacy while sparing honeybees and promoting rice growth, offering a promising resistance‐breaking strategy.

Continuous Evolution System Based on Toxin–Antitoxin System Combined with Base Deaminase Accelerates the In Vivo Modification of Target Proteins

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The promoted Escherichia coli‐assisted continuous evolution (PEACE) system operates through a stringent three step genetic circuit: target gene mutation via a deaminase–T7 RNA polymerase (T7 RNAP) fusion, coupling variant function to antitoxin expression, and growth based selection of surviving cells.

Mepce Restrains Ferroptosis in Prostate Cancer Through 7SK–P‐TEFb Pause Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Genome‐wide CRISPR screening identifies MEPCE as a pause‐control regulator that restrains ferroptosis in prostate cancer. MEPCE loss releases P‐TEFb/CDK9 from 7SK snRNP control, enhances RNAPII Ser2 phosphorylation, and accelerates NRF2‐HMOX1‐driven labile iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation, revealing a transcriptional kinetic gate that lowers ...

Understanding the rapid spread of antimicrobial resistance genes mediated by IS26

mLife
Insertion sequences (ISs) promote the transmission of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) across bacterial populations. However, their contributions and dynamics during the transmission of resistance remain unclear. In this study, we selected IS26 as a

Compact 9dBEs Enable Efficient and Precise Genome Editing in Mammalian Cells and In Vivo

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As a compact type II‐D system, the Cas9d‐based platform holds great potential for in vivo applications. Through rational engineering, its derived base editors (9dBEs) enable efficient disease modeling while facilitating single‐vector AAV delivery for in vivo genome editing. These miniature tools offer a robust strategy for basic research and biomedical

TNF receptor–related factor 3 inactivation promotes the development of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma through NF‐κB‐inducing kinase–mediated hepatocyte transdifferentiation

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a deadly but poorly understood disease, and its treatment options are very limited. The aim of this study was to identify the molecular drivers of ICC and search for therapeutic targets.

Tissue‐Agnostic Cellular Morphometric Biomarkers for Risk‐Adapted Management Across Gastrointestinal Precancerous Lesions and Cancers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An interpretable, unsupervised artificial intelligence framework identifies a 13‐cellular morphometric biomarker (CMB) signature from routine H&E whole‐slide images. Validated across 2,602 patients, the fixed signature generalizes across colorectal, gastric, and esophageal tissues without retraining, stratifies prognosis and precancerous lesion risk ...
