Bioartificial Livers Developed From Gene‐Edited Pig Hepatocyte Organoids Improve Amino Acid and Lipid Profiles in the Plasma of Patients With Liver Failure

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
A bioartificial liver (BAL) integrating GGTA1‐knockout porcine hepatocytes and R‐spondin1‐overexpressing endothelial organoids was tested using plasma from patients with acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF). The BAL system actively modulates amino acid and lipid metabolism, enhances detoxification, partially restores overall metabolic balance, and ...

Metabolic Regulation of Immune Responses: Molecular Mechanisms, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
FBP1 loss drives immune evasion and therapy resistance by enhancing glycolysis, STAT3 activation, and PD‐L1 expression, leading to T cell exhaustion and NK cell inhibition. FBP1 restoration, via LNP‐mRNA or epigenetic modulation, reverses these immunosuppressive effects, reactivates cytotoxic T cells, promotes M1 macrophage polarization, and enhances ...

Deciphering the soybean root rot pathogen Phytophthora sojae: Signaling pathways, transcriptional regulation, and effector biology

New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.
This review highlights how Phytophthora sojae utilizes unconventional lineage‐specific signaling networks, including unique G protein‐coupled receptor fusions, expanded kinases, and rapidly evolving effectors, to infect soybeans. Understanding these divergent molecular paradigms reveals critical vulnerabilities in this destructive pathogen, offering ...

The diverse roles of glycogen branching enzymes and their synergistic activity

Branched α-glucans like starch and glycogen are vital for storing energy in organisms. Glycogen accumulates when nutrients are scarce but carbon is available. Its structure, including chain length and branching, varies among bacteria and is crucial for its function.

Biophysical assessment of the molecular mechanisms of Tau aggregation and its role in Alzheimer's disease

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the intracellular aggregation of the microtubule‐associated protein Tau. While the presence of large, insoluble neurofibrillary tangles has long been the primary focus of this research, a paradigm shift in the field now highlights smaller, soluble oligomers as the more neurotoxic Tau species leading

Integrative Advances in Equine Genomics From Reference Assemblies to Evolutionary History and Key Traits

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Horses are major domestic animals and cultural symbols that have accompanied humans for millennia. They underpin transport, agriculture, warfare and sport, and also provide a model for studying domestication, complex traits and adaptive evolution.

Altitude‐Associated Divergence of the Gut Microbiome in Endangered Forest Musk Deer: Evidence From Integrated Metagenomics, Metabolomics, and Culturomics

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐altitude environments expose mammals and their gut symbionts to multifaceted stressors—hypoxia, cold, and intense UV radiation. Whether gut microbial communities undergo compositional restructuring in response to these stressors, and whether such restructuring carries translational value for captive conservation, remain unresolved ...
