Non‐Coding Transcripts From Diversified Members of IgLec Family Protect Antiviral Effectors From Viral miRNA

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The IgLec gene family generates both protein‐coding antiviral effectors and non‐coding transcripts. Upon viral infection, non‐coding transcripts are preferentially targeted by viral miR‐N48, thereby buffering protein‐coding isoforms from repression. Depletion of these decoy transcripts compromises antiviral defense, revealing a non‐coding RNA‐mediated ...

Comparison of Germline versus Somatic BAP1 Mutations for Risk of Metastasis in Uveal Melanoma

BMC Cancer, 2018
Background Germline mutations in BAP1 have been associated with BAP1-Tumor Predisposition Syndrome (BAP1-TPDS), a predisposition to multiple tumors within a family that includes uveal melanoma (UM), cutaneous melanoma, malignant mesothelioma and renal ...

Decoding Biomolecular Phase Separation: From Physiological Roles to Pathological Mechanisms and Therapeutic Biomaterials Design

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review systematically elaborates on the mechanisms underlying physiological regulation and pathological dysregulation of biomolecular phase separation. It also summarizes advances in phase‑separation‑targeted therapeutic strategies and the design of functional biomaterials inspired by this process.

Inhibition of MEKK3 Prevents Cerebral Cavernous Malformation Progression Via Restoring Endothelial Integrity and Restricting Microglial Activation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, we demonstrate that aberrant MEKK3 signaling in endothelial cells and microglia drives the progression of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs). Furthermore, we identify DPDH as a potent small‐molecule MEKK3 inhibitor with substantial therapeutic potential for CCM treatment.

Integrating whole-exome sequencing and scRNA-seq reveal the characteristic in one clear cell renal cell carcinoma sample arising in the setting of VHL disease

Scientific Reports
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) arising in the setting of von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) disease is a rare type of kidney cancer and features VHL germline mutation. This type of ccRCC is rarely characterised at the single-cell level. In this work, whole-

Germline breast cancer susceptibility gene mutations and breast cancer outcomes

BMC Cancer, 2018
Background It is unclear whether germline breast cancer susceptibility gene mutations affect breast cancer related outcomes. We wanted to evaluate mutation patterns in 20 breast cancer susceptibility genes and correlate the mutations with clinical ...

MPP8 Facilitates DNA DSB Repair via NHEJ to Promote Chemoresistance of TNBC Independent of Methyl‐H3K9 Binding

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chemoresistance is often linked to elevated DNA repair. MPP8 is found to promote breast cancer chemoresistance as a novel NHEJ accessory factor independent of its epigenetic functions. Through multiple protein interactions, MPP8 facilitates association of DNAPK and ligase complexes to promote DNA repair progression.

Human Germline Mutation and the Erratic Evolutionary Clock

PLOS Biology, 2016
Abstract Our understanding of the chronology of human evolution relies on the “molecular clock” provided by the steady accumulation of substitutions on an evolutionary lineage. Recent analyses of human pedigrees have called this understanding into question, by revealing unexpectedly low germline mutation rates, which imply that ...

CausalCellInfer: Prioritizing Cell‐Type‐Specific Disease Associations From Genetically Predicted Transcriptomes in Biobank Cohorts

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bulk and genotype‐imputed transcriptomes obscure the cellular drivers of complex disease. CausalCellInfer resolves them by integrating invariant marker selection, deep learning deconvolution, and regularized matrix completion. Applied to ∼500 000 UK Biobank participants across 29 traits, it uncovers hallmark cell‐type proportion shifts, including ...

A Living Multi‐Omics PDX Biobank of High‐Risk Sarcomas Reveals ecDNA‐Driven Oncogene Amplification in Osteosarcoma and Enables Preclinical Precision Oncology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A living multi‐omics sarcoma PDX biobank is enriched for high‐risk disease and preserves key patient tumor features at histopathological and molecular levels. Integrated profiling reveals ecDNA‐driven oncogene amplification in osteosarcoma and preferential retention of ecDNA during PDX evolution.
