Fibroblast Plasticity in Inflammation of the Barrier
Under inflammatory condition, fibroblasts in barrier tissues integrate inflammatory, senescent, and mechanical inputs. These pathways activate central signaling networks to drive fibroblast phenotypic transition, enabling cytokine production, immune cell recruitment, and extracellular matrix remodeling.

The Metabolic Role of Mitochondria in the Perinatal Cardiac Development and Cardiovascular Diseases
This review explores the critical role of mitochondria in heart development and cardiovascular disease. It highlights how mitochondrial maturation during embryonic‐to‐postnatal transition, regulated by oxygen and metabolic changes, shapes cardiac structure and function.

An abyssal hill fractionates organic and inorganic matter in deep-sea surface sediments [PDF]
Current estimates suggest that more than 60% of the global seafloor are covered by millions of abyssal hills and mountains. These features introduce spatial fluid-dynamic granularity whose influence on deep-ocean sediment biogeochemistry is unknown. Here

Glutamine deprivation triggers NAGK-dependent hexosamine salvage [PDF]
AbstractTumors frequently exhibit aberrant glycosylation, which can impact cancer progression and therapeutic responses. The hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP) produces uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), a major substrate for glycosylation in the cell.

Berberine alleviates cell pyroptosis in diabetic retinopathy by regulating AKT1, JUN, and STAT3
Berberine alleviates diabetic retinopathy by reducing pyroptosis through AKT1/JUN/STAT3 regulation, as validated in rat models via network pharmacology, molecular docking, and experimental assays. Abstract Berberine (BBR) exerts an effective protection for diabetic retinopathy (DR), but the underlying key molecular mechanism remains unknown; this study

Natural history study of glycan accumulation in large animal models of GM2 gangliosidoses.
β-hexosaminidase is an enzyme responsible for the degradation of gangliosides, glycans, and other glycoconjugates containing β-linked hexosamines that enter the lysosome. GM2 gangliosidoses, such as Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff, are lysosomal storage disorders

Oncogenic KRAS Rewires Stress Granule Dynamics: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities
ABSTRACT Stress granules (SGs) are dynamic, membrane‐less structures that form in response to various cellular stresses, including metabolic, oxidative, and therapeutic challenges. They function as adaptive hubs and reorganize protein synthesis and signaling networks to help cells survive under stress. In cancer, these condensates are often hijacked to
