Advanced imaging and multi‐omics to characterize cardiomyocyte ageing and its electrocardiographic imprint in PKP2 arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We used a murine model of cardiomyocyte‐specific conditional knockout of plakophilin 2 (PKP2cKO, middle panel). Using advanced imaging technology, we unveiled distinct hallmarks of premature ageing in PKP2cKO cardiomyocytes, including DNA damage and loss of repressed heterochromatin at the nuclear periphery, and mitochondrial ...

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in Atherosclerosis and Cardiovascular Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
NETs as integrated effectors in the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease continuum. Activated neutrophils release NETs that promote endothelial injury, thrombo‐inflammation, and plaque destabilization throughout atherosclerotic disease progression. Created with BioRender.com.

Sodium Channel Blockers Demonstrate Binding Affinity for the Tandem Tudor Domain of the Epigenetic Hub UHRF1

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 17, 14 September 2026.
An investigation of the tandem Tudor domain (TTD) domain of UHRF1 identified and extensively characterized the local anesthetic hydroxyprocaine as a strong ligand capable of activating related genes such as p53 and also highlighted a new, potentially druggable intramolecular interaction between TTD and UBL.

Mechanical Activation of Piezo1 Drives Osteoarthritis Through Kdm5c‐Mediated Epigenetic Silencing

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 50, 7 September 2026.
Excessive mechanical stress activates Piezo1, triggering Ca2+‐dependent cytoskeletal forces that deform the nucleus and reduce H3K4me3. Kdm5c demethylates H3K4me3 at Col2a1 and Runx3 promoters. Kdm5c knockout rescues degradation. Repurposed telmisartan directly inhibits Kdm5c, blocking this axis and showing disease‐modifying efficacy in mouse OA models

NAD+ Metabolism Licenses Zygotic Genome Activation via PARP7‐Mediated ADP‐Ribosylation of UHRF1 in Mouse Early Embryos

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 51, 14 September 2026.
This study uncovers a metabolic‐epigenetic axis licensing zygotic genome activation (ZGA) in mouse embryos. A developmental decline in NAD+ levels activates PARP7, which mono‐ADP‐ribosylates and stabilizes UHRF1. This modification promotes the establishment of permissive histone acetylation marks, thereby facilitating timely ZGA.

Histone Post‐Translational Modifications Regulating Ferroptosis: The Molecular Mechanisms and Disease Associations

Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death characterized by iron‐dependent phospholipid peroxidation and is implicated in a wide range of human diseases. Emerging evidence highlights the critical role of epigenetic regulation in this process.
