LRRC8A Regulates Outer Hair Cell Volume and Electromotility and is Required for Hearing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies LRRC8A‐dependent volume‐regulated anion channels (VRACs) as essential for cochlear outer hair cells' electromotility and auditory signal amplification. LRRC8A deficiency disrupts cell volume control, impairs auditory sensitivity, and causes deafness, while targeted LRRC8A re‐expression restores auditory function.

Gal3‐CaN‐Smurf1 Complex Sequestrates FLCN‐FNIPs to Facilitate TFEB Activation in Response to Endomembrane Damage

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The schematic diagram illustrates the role of the recruitment of Gal3‐CaN‐Smurf1 complex in maintaining lysosomal membrane homeostasis upon damage. On the one hand, the Gal3‐CaN‐Smurf1 complex sequesters FLCN‐FNIPs to block the activation of RagC, where the active form RagC‐GDP is responsible for TFEB phosphorylation.

Vinburnine Sensitizes Radiotherapy Efficacy in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma by Triggering Pyroptosis and Immune Responses via Activation of EDAR‐NFκB Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that vinburnine, an approved cerebrovascular drug, synergizes with radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) by modulating EDAR‐NFκB signaling through directly binding to EDAR, leading to triggering apoptosis/pyroptosis, and amplifying CCL5/CX3CL1‐driven T‐cell cytotoxicity.
