Engineering a 660 nm‐Responsive Optogenetic Inducer of Pyroptosis for Precision Cancer Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reports a bioorthogonal pyroptosis inducer, PyroRACS. By using a red‐light‐responsive Cre‐On genetic switch to control the expression of highly cytotoxic GSDMDNT, PyroRACS enables the artificial induction of pyroptosis with precise spatiotemporal control.

A Rapid and Reliable Test for BRCA1 Promoter Hypermethylation in Paraffin Tissue Using Pyrosequencing

Diagnostics
Background: Ovarian cancers harboring inactivating mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 demonstrate increased sensitivity to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis). BRCA1 promoter methylation could serve as a more precise biomarker for therapy response,

Genetic Ablation and Multi‐Omics Profiling Reveal CEP55 as a Key Driver of Tumorigenesis in Diverse Cancer Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Genetic ablation of Cep55 in Pten‐deficient mouse models delays tumorigenesis. Integrated multi‐omics analyses (proteomics, phosphoproteomics, and spatial transcriptomics) reveal that CEP55 regulates oncogenic signaling (RAS/ERK, PI3K/AKT), integrin/FAK‐mediated adhesion, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and endocytosis.

Heat Stress Promotes Fibroblast‐Derived WNT5A Secretion Through m6A Modification to Activate Melanogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Heat stress promotes WNT5A secretion from fibroblasts via METTL3/YTHDC1‐dependent m6A methylation. Subsequently, WNT5A binds to FZD10 on melanocytes, activating β‐catenin‐driven melanogenesis. ABSTRACT As the impact of global warming continues to intensify, the effects of heat stress on the skin are becoming increasingly evident.

MTHFD1 promoter hypermethylation increases the risk of hypertension

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2019
Objectives: Methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1 (MTHFD1) plays an essential role in folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism which determines both homocysteine remethylation and de novo thymidylate biosynthesis.

Ahcy Acts as an Effector of Hnf4a‐Driven Super‐Enhancer Activation to Alleviate MASLD During Intermittent Fasting

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Our study identifies an Hnf4a‐driven super‐enhancer of hepatic Ahcy that mediates the protective effects of intermittent fasting against MASLD. Disruption of the Ahcy super‐enhancer reduces Ahcy expression and exacerbates lipid accumulation. This pathway prevents aberrant promoter hypermethylation by maintaining the SAM/SAH balance, as exemplified by ...

Metabolic Memory in Cardiovascular Disease: Encoding, Propagation, and Therapeutic Targeting

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cardiovascular risk often persists after metabolic abnormalities are corrected. This conceptual Review frames such persistence as metabolic memory, encoded through a narrowing therapeutic window from reversible marks to irreversible damage, with continuous input from peripheral organs.

DNA Methylation Patterns in Down Syndrome and Congenital Heart Disease: A Short Review [PDF]

International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery
Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is the most common structural birth defect. It arises from issues in heart formation during embryonic development. The estimated prevalence in the general population is about 1%.

Enviromics and Abiotic Enviromics: Enhancing Stress Biology and Plant Resilience Breeding

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Environmental stressors are captured through high‐throughput envirotyping and integrated into an enviromic framework with genomic, transcriptomic, phenomic, and environmental data. AI/ML models enable prediction and guide marker‐assisted selection, genomic selection, genome editing, and gene pyramiding toward improved abiotic stress tolerance, yield ...
