Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

Impact of diet and exercise in growth restricted female rats on nephron endowment in male fetuses

Experimental Physiology
Uteroplacental insufficiency impairs kidney development and programs male‐onset cardiorenal disease, which can be transmitted to subsequent generations.

Case Report: Unveiling the enigma: a rare male neonatal case of MIRAGE syndrome with female external genital presentation and literature review

Frontiers in Pediatrics
BackgroundMIRAGE syndrome is a severe congenital disease affecting multiple systems, caused by functional variants in the SAMD9 gene. It is characterized by myelodysplasia, infections, growth restriction, adrenal hypoplasia, genital phenotypes, and ...

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

Extrauterine growth restriction: Is it preventable?

Jornal de Pediatria (Versão em Português), 2014
afirmam que o tratamento nutricio-nal de neonatos prematuros, principalmente de prematuros extremos (PE), auxilia no crescimento a uma taxa proxi-ma a do crescimento intrauterino. Contudo, a restricao do crescimento extrauterino (RCEU) continua a ser prevalen-te, ocorrendo com a maioria dos prematuros extremos.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Maternal serum soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1–to–placental growth factor ratio distinguishes growth-restricted from non–growth-restricted small-for-gestational-age fetusesAJOG Global Reports at a Glance

AJOG Global Reports
BACKGROUND: Fetal growth restriction secondary to chronic placental insufficiency is a major cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. A significant proportion of fetuses with fetal growth restriction are small for gestational age, defined as a ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Epigenetic reprogramming of lineage switching in cancer

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer cells rarely commit to a single identity. Epigenetic mechanisms and tumor microenvironment cues push epithelial cells toward flexible, hybrid states that can shift into mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, or stem‐like fates, driving metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. Targeting the epigenetic regulators behind these transitions, using
