FABP4 as a Mediator of Lipid Metabolism and Pregnant Uterine Dysfunction in Obesity
Obesity during late pregnancy contributes to uterine smooth muscle dysfunction, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study identifies fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) as a key player in the process, mediating excessive fatty acid uptake, lipid accumulation, and mitochondrial dysfunction in myometrial cells. FABP4 could be a novel uterine

Calpain‐2‐Mediated Endothelial Focal Adhesion Disruption in Thoracic Aortic Dissection
The elevated expression of Capn2 in endothelial cells activates focal adhesion signaling by cleaving Talin1 and assembling Itgav, which compromises the integrity of the endothelial barrier and induces vascular inflammation. Inhibition of calpain through both pharmacological and transgenic approaches has effectively suppressed the onset and progression ...

Oral squamous cell carcinoma cells exhibit upregulated expression of GSDMD upon exposure to low‐dose cisplatin chemotherapy, which subsequently interacts with MMP14 through its N‐terminal domain, activating the epithelial‒mesenchymal transition (EMT) process and promoting the lymph node metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Single‐Cell RNA Sequencing Delineates Renal Anti‐Fibrotic Mechanisms Mediated by TRPC6 Inhibition
Single‐cell transcriptomics reveals how TRPC6 inhibition alters renal cell composition and gene expression in CKD. The study uncovers a novel endothelial subpopulation (ECRIN), highlights key inflammatory and fibrotic pathways, and identifies a Prnp‐driven network linked to fibrosis resolution, offering mechanistic insight into TRPC6 as a potential ...
