This study identifies osteocyte‐derived FGF9 as a mechanosensitive factor that impairs osteogenesis in the underdeveloped maxilla by inducing FGFR2 nuclear translocation in preosteoblasts. Mechanical stimulation reduces FGF9 secretion, relieving its inhibitory effect. These findings reveal a novel osteocyte–preosteoblast FGF9–FGFR2 axis in craniofacial

METTL10‐Mediated PIAS3 Methylation Links Purine Metabolism to Gastric Cancer Progression
METTL10‐mediated methylation of PIAS3 at K442 inhibits its SUMO E3 ligase activity toward MITF. This reduces MITF SUMOylation and subsequent RNF4‐mediated ubiquitination, leading to MITF protein accumulation and gastric cancer progression. Abstract Metabolic dysregulation plays a significant role in the development of gastric cancer (GC).

H3K27ac Is Essential for Human Naive Pluripotency Modulated by m6A‐Driven EP300 Expression
An et al. reveal H3K27ac elevation is essential for establishing and maintaining human naive pluripotency; its inhibition disrupts this state while enhancement promotes it. METTL3‐mediated m6A modification indirectly controls H3K27ac by suppressing EP300 expression. Reduced EP300 lowers H3K27ac, impeding naive pluripotency.

The role of germline WWOX loss‐of‐function variants in oncogenesis has remained poorly characterized. This study provides the first comprehensive genetic and functional evidence that such variants promote tumorigenesis through the disruption of multiple tumor‐suppressive mechanisms.

Hepatic CBP/p300 Orchestrate Amino Acid‐Driven Gluconeogenesis through Histone Crotonylation
Hepatic CBP/p300 control amino acid‐driven gluconeogenesis by modulating histone crotonylation. This study identifies 2‐aminoadipate (2‐AAA) as a key metabolite that enhances crotonylation and activates amino acid and gluconeogenic gene expression.
