Targeting Tumor Stroma: Current Challenges and Future Directions

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
Figure 1. Mechanism of ECM reprogramming. Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs), cancer‐associated macrophages (CAMs), and other mesenchymal cells alter the ECM composition and increase its stiffness by depositing matrix components such as collagen and hyaluronic acid, and secreting cross‐linking agents like lysyl oxidase homolog 2 (LOXL2).

An ALS‐associated mutation in the C‐terminal α‐helix of TDP‐43 uncouples condensate formation and amyloid assembly

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract TAR DNA‐binding protein 43 (TDP‐43) plays a critical role in RNA metabolism and is incorporated into biomolecular condensates called stress granules. In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and several other neurodegenerative disorders, TDP‐43 undergoes aberrant phase transitions, forming insoluble amyloid aggregates, including fibrils composed

The double histone fold: Structure, functional implications across the tree of life and relevance to protein design

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The histone fold is one of the most ancient and versatile structural motifs in protein biology, best known for its role in chromatin organization. A remarkable variation of this motif is the double histone fold (DHF), in which two histone folds are encoded within a single polypeptide chain and assemble intramolecularly into a histone‐like ...

Mitochondrial Homeostasis in Pancreatic β Cell Function: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets for Diabetes

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.
This review highlights mitochondrial dysfunction as a central driver of pancreatic β cell failure in diabetes, caused by disrupted mitochondrial quality control (MQC), oxidative stress, and impaired organelle communication. Emerging therapies, such as DRAK2 inhibitors and metabolic reprogramming agents, show promise in restoring β cell function by ...

Inferring Gene Regulatory Network Architecture Underlying Complex Traits: An Integrative Analysis of Mutant Lifespan and Gene Expression Profiles Identifies Master Regulators and Key Functional Modules for Yeast Aging

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 5, May 2026.
We developed a LASSO‐based approach to uncover a three‐layered “fan‐in fan‐out” network architecture for complex traits like yeast aging, showing that peripheral genes influence lifespan indirectly through master regulators, which converge on core functional modules (e.g., stress response, autophagy).

Long‐Term Stress Adaptation as a Highly‐Conserved Key Factor in Yeast Aging

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study shows that long‐term, but not short‐term, stress exposure triggers molecular changes in yeast that mirror established hallmarks of aging, including altered proteostasis, epigenetic shifts, and reduced lifespan. These changes are reversible upon stress removal, and the genes involved are conserved across all domains of life. ABSTRACT Aging is

Histone Density and Dynamics Shape Mitotic Chromatid Architecture in Xenopus Egg Extracts

open access: yesGenes to Cells, Volume 31, Issue 3, May 2026.
Histone chaperones and chromatin remodelers modulate histone density and dynamics. The resulting local chromatin properties are integrated with DNA reconfiguration activities mediated by condensins and topoisomerase IIα to shape the global architecture of mitotic chromosomes.
