CauFinder: Steering Cell‐State and Phenotype Transitions by Causal Disentanglement Learning
CauFinder combines causal disentanglement modeling and network control to prioritize causal drivers of cell‐state transitions from observational transcriptomic data. The framework separates transition‐relevant signals from spurious associations, nominates intervention targets across biological and disease contexts, and identifies DAAM1 as an actionable

A histone demethylase is necessary for regeneration in zebrafish [PDF]
Urodele amphibians and teleost fish regenerate amputated body parts via a process called epimorphic regeneration. A hallmark of this phenomenon is the reactivation of silenced developmental regulatory genes that previously functioned during embryonic patterning.

Efficacy, safety and cost‐effectiveness of CAR‐T therapy
CAR T‐cells demonstrate high efficacy in blood cancers, including ALL, MM and DLBCL. Innovations target solid tumours despite challenges such as antigen escape. Combination therapies enhance the delivery and infiltration of CAR T cells. Toxicity, cost and resistance remain major barriers to clinical use.

Bridging maternal effects and epitranscriptomics: A novel perspective in developmental biology
Abstract Maternal effects, encompassing both genetic (maternally expressed gene products) and non‐genetic (maternal state) influences, are powerful determinants of offspring phenotype, yet their RNA‐level mechanisms remain incompletely resolved. In parallel, epitranscriptomics, an emerging field centered on chemical modifications to RNA, has revealed ...

Oscillatory cAMP signaling rapidly alters H3K4 methylation
This work explores how GPCR-cAMP signaling dynamically influences histone methylation by altering intracellular labile Fe(II) levels and subsequently modulating histone demethylase activity.

Mutations inhibiting KDM4B drive ALT activation in ATRX-mutated glioblastomas
Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT) is a telomere maintenance pathway utilised in 15% of cancers that have been associated with mutations in ATRX. Here the authors reveal a functional role of histone demethylases KDM4B in regulating ALT activation.

Epigenetic Regulation in the Pathogenesis of Renal Inflammation: Insights and Therapeutic Potentials
ABSTRACT Renal inflammation is a common pathological process in various kidney diseases, often initiated by factors such as toxins, ischemia, or autoimmune reactions. This inflammatory response can result in structural damage and a rapid decline in renal function.

Epigenetic Regulation by Histone Demethylases in Hypoxia [PDF]
The response to hypoxia is primarily mediated by the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor (HIF). Levels of HIF are regulated by the oxygen-sensing HIF hydroxylases, members of the 2-oxoglutarate (2OG) dependent oxygenase family. JmjC-domain containing histone lysine demethylases (JmjC-KDMs), also members of the 2OG oxygenase family, are key ...
