The Pathogenic Roles of Local Vitamin D Metabolism Defect in Valve Inflammation and Calcification
This study identifies the valvular interstitial cell populations responsible for valvular calcification induced by hyperphosphatemia and likely aging, uncovers local vitamin D metabolism defect‐induced inflammation as a critical pathogenic factor of calcific aortic valve disease, and highlights active vitamin D and ERK inhibitor as potential preventive

A Prion‐Like Domain in EBV EBNA1 Promotes Phase Separation and Enables SRRM1 Splicing
This study discoveries that EBV EBNA1 behaves as a prion‐like protein, verified using cell‐based assays and the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sup35p prion identification system. The prion‐like domain of EBNA1 drives liquid–liquid phase separation. EBNA1 interacts with the splicing factor SRSF1 to regulate the expression of the SRRM1 splicing isoforms ...

Endothelial BMP6 Drives Hemodynamic‐Dependent VSMCs Calcification in Carotid Atherosclerosis
The study demonstrates that endothelial cell (EC)‐derived BMP6 promotes the osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) through cell‐cell interactions. Additionally, the researchers preliminarily explore the driving effect of hemodynamic factors on BMP6‐induced calcification and reveal the regulatory role of KLF4 on BMP6.

FOXQ1 emerges as a master transcriptional regulator of brain endothelial metabolism, orchestrating mitochondrial function through dual control of calcium signaling and cristae organization. This study reveals that brain endothelial cells rely on oxidative phosphorylation rather than glycolysis alone, challenging the current metabolic paradigm and ...

Potentiating Cerebral Perfusion Normalizes Glymphatic Dynamics in Systemic Inflammation
LPS‐induced systemic inflammation increases glymphatic influx but delays cervical lymphatic drainage, accompanied by AQP4 depolarization and impaired glymphatic clearance. Enhancing cerebral blood flow via the inotropic agent levosimendan effectively restored AQP4 polarization, improving glymphatic flux and amyloid‐β clearance.
