A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

SARS-CoV-2 Mac1 is required for IFN antagonism and efficient virus replication in mice
ABSTRACTSeveral coronavirus (CoV) encoded proteins are being evaluated as targets for antiviral therapies for COVID-19. Included in this set of proteins is the conserved macrodomain, or Mac1, an ADP-ribosylhydrolase and ADP-ribose binding protein. Utilizing point mutant recombinant viruses, Mac1 was shown to be critical for both murine hepatitis virus (

Obesity Disrupts H3K4me3‐Mediated Lactate Accumulation and Efferocytosis in Hypoxic Macrophages
Obesity disrupts macrophage adaptation to hypoxic microenvironments. In lean conditions, hypoxia induces H3K4me3‐dependent transcriptional programs that promote lactate accumulation, histone lactylation, and efficient efferocytosis. Diet‐induced obesity impairs this epigenetic–metabolic response, resulting in reduced lactate accumulation, defective ...

The Development and creation of a software system for the monitoring system MAC1
Abstract. A special system of acoustic detectors was created to search for possible correlations between wide air showers and the signal of elastic oscillations from the depths of the earth's crust. They are intended for joint synchronous work with storm installation.

Histone demethylase Lsd1 represses hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell signatures during blood cell maturation [PDF]
Here, we describe that lysine-specific demethylase 1 (Lsd1/KDM1a), which demethylates histone H3 on Lys4 or Lys9 (H3K4/K9), is an indispensible epigenetic governor of hematopoietic differentiation. Integrative genomic analysis, combining global occupancy

Conformational stability analyses of alpha subunit I domain of LFA-1 and Mac-1. [PDF]
β₂ integrin of lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) or macrophage-1 antigen (Mac-1) binds to their common ligand of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and mediates leukocyte-endothelial cell (EC) adhesions in inflammation cascade ...

Maize Anther Development Involves Translated Open Reading Frames From 3′ Untranslated Regions
This study examined the translation activity across ten stages of maize anther development, integrating transcriptome and small‐peptide data. It linked mutations in translated 3' ORFs to anther sterility, exemplified by Zm00001eb417050_3' ORF (known as APV1). In addition, the data indicated that maize anthers could assimilate CO2 through the stomata in

Increased risk for T cell autoreactivity to ß-cell antigens in the mice expressing the Avy obesity-associated gene. [PDF]
There has been considerable debate as to whether obesity can act as an accelerator of type 1 diabetes (T1D). We assessed this possibility using transgenic mice (MIP-TF mice) whose ß-cells express enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). Infecting these

GADD45B knockout in hematopoietic stem cells causes DNA methylation changes that mirror some age‐associated patterns but don't affect HSC function or gene expression. We created a searchable database to identify consistently reported methylation sites associated with age‐related HSC functional decline.
