Decoding the dual role of autophagy in cancer through transcriptional and epigenetic regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation controls autophagy, which exerts context‐dependent effects on cancer: Autophagy suppresses tumorigenesis by maintaining cellular homeostasis or promotes tumor progression by supporting survival under stress. In this “In a Nutshell” article, we explore the intricate mechanisms of the dual function of autophagy ...

Membrane fouling monitoring by 3ω sensing

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Membrane fouling significantly reduces membrane permeability, leading to higher operational expenses. In situ monitoring of membrane fouling can potentially be used to reduce operation cost by optimizing operational parameters and cleaning conditions. In

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Protonophore activity of short‐chain fatty acids induces their intracellular accumulation and acidification

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The protonated form of butyrate, as well as other short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), is membrane permeable. In acidic extracellular environments, this can lead to intracellular accumulation of SCFAs and cytosolic acidification. This phenomenon will be particularly relevant in acidic environments such as the large intestine or tumor microenvironments ...

A Peptide‐Derived Aggregation‐Induced Emission Nanobioprobe: Unlocking Selective Detection of Fusobacterium nucleatum and Noninvasive Screening of Colorectal Cancer

open access: yesAggregate
Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening and early diagnosis is an effective strategy for reducing CRC mortality. However, the current detection methods involve exorbitant costs and complex procedures, which are inconvenient for large‐scale screening. Given its

The Atg1–kinase complex tethers Atg9-vesicles to initiate autophagy

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Autophagosome biogenesis is initiated by recruitment of Atg9-vesicles to the phagophore assembly site. Here Rao et al. use a reconstituted in vitrosystem to describe the mechanism by which activation of the Atg1-kinase complex from its constituent parts ...

Cryo-EM structures of intermediates suggest an alternative catalytic reaction cycle for cytochrome c oxidase

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Cytochrome c oxidase is a fundamental enzyme of life and its mechanism is not fully understood yet. Here, the authors present four cryo-EM structures of different intermediate states, which suggest an alternative cytochrome c oxidase reaction cycle.

Reactive Flame-Retardant Cotton Fabric Coating: Combustion Behavior, Durability, and Enhanced Retardant Mechanism with Ion Transfer

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2022
In recent years, we have witnessed numerous indoor fires caused by the flammable properties of cotton. Flame-retardant cotton deserves our attention. A novel boric acid and diethylenetriaminepenta (methylene-phosphonic acid) (DTPMPA) ammonium salt-based ...

A stepwise emergence of evolution in the RNA world

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How did biological evolution emerge from chemical reactions? This perspective proposes a gradual scenario of self‐organization among RNA molecules, where catalytic feedback on random mixtures plays the central role. Short oligomers cross‐ligate, and self‐assembly enables heritable variations. An event of template‐externalization marks the transition to
