The Emerging Role of Lamin C as an Important LMNA Isoform in Mechanophenotype
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2018 Lamin A and lamin C isoforms of the gene LMNA are major structural and mechanotransductive components of the nuclear lamina. Previous reports have proposed lamin A as the isoform with the most dominant contributions to cellular mechanophenotype. Recently,

NIBAN2/FLII/RREB1 Axis Drives Glioma Stem Cell Malignancy via TLR3 Pathway Activation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.NIBAN2, highly expressed in glioma stem‐like cells (GSCs), assembles with FLII and transcription factor RREB1 to form a nuclear complex. This complex transcriptionally activates stemness‐associated genes (e.g., CD44, NANOG) and metabolic enzymes (e.g., LDHA), thereby sustaining both transcriptional and metabolic stemness programs.

Neuron type‐specific increase in lamin B1 contributes to nuclear dysfunction in Huntington’s disease
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2020 Lamins are crucial proteins for nuclear functionality. Here, we provide new evidence showing that increased lamin B1 levels contribute to the pathophysiology of Huntington’s disease (HD), a CAG repeat‐associated neurodegenerative disorder.

First Generation Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) for the Treatment of Progeria
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We report the first PROTACs designed to degrade progerin, introducing a novel therapeutic approach for progeria. The best compound, UCM‐18142, significantly reduces progerin levels and improves key disease phenotypes in patient‐derived cells and in the LmnaG609G/G609G mouse model, paving the way for new treatment strategies targeting the root cause of ...
