HIFU‐Driven Targeted Pyroptosis Therapy in Basal‐Like Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a HIFU‐driven pyroptosis strategy for BLBC treatment. Combining HIFU with platelet‐membrane hybridized liposomes encapsulating mitoxantrone enhances tumor targeting and efficacy. The synergistic treatment modulates key epigenetic regulators and activates the pyroptotic pathway through ROS generation and inflammasome signaling ...

Nociceptive Nerve‐Derived CGRP Exacerbates Uterine Fibrogenesis in Adenomyosis by Promoting CD140b+ CD146+ Fibroblast Differentiation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates adenomyosis fibrosis in relation to nociceptive nerves. Nociceptive nerve‐secreted CGRP promotes RAMP1hi CD140b+ CD146+ fibroblast differentiation into myofibroblasts through ERK activation, causing severe fibrosis. Rimegepant‐induced CGRP/RAMP1 signaling blockade alleviates fibrosis and restores fertility in a mouse model. This

Phospholipid molecular species influence crystal habits and transition sequences of metastable intermediates during cholesterol crystallization from bile salt-rich model bile.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1994
Despite its importance in cholesterol gallstone formation, crystallization of cholesterol from bile is poorly understood, especially with respect to the influences of other biliary lipids. We reported recently (Konikoff et al. J. Clin. Invest. 1992.

Inhibition of Tumor Lipogenesis and Growth by Peptide‐Based Targeting of SREBP Activation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A peptide that replicates the amino acid sequence in Insig1/2 loop 1 inhibits the IGF1‐induced interaction between PCK1 and Insig1/2, PCK1‐mediated phosphorylation of Insig1/2, and SREBP activity‐dependent lipid synthesis. Administration of the LNP‐Insig1/2 loop 1 peptide effectively attenuates tumor growth and sensitizes tumors to the antitumor effect
