ABSTRACT Cooperativity between cytoskeletal proteins is crucial for spatiotemporal coordination in biological processes, like oogenesis. In mammalian and Drosophila oogenesis, proper assembly and function of actin networks require coordination between actin assembly factors Spire and formins, as well as actin‐associated proteins like myosins and Rab ...

Impaired Motor Function in a Zebrafish Stathmin‐2 Knockout Model
ABSTRACT Stathmin‐2 (STMN2) is a microtubule‐associated protein that plays a role in the stability of microtubules in axons of the nervous system of animals. In this study, we generated a novel zebrafish STMN2 knockout (KO) model. STMN2 is represented by two genes in the zebrafish genome: stmn2a and stmn2b.

Iron and Other Metal Ions in Human Health and Disease
Iron, copper, zinc, and calcium orchestrate cellular function through distinct yet cooperative mechanisms: redox‐active iron and copper cycle between oxidation states to act as Fenton catalysts and electron carriers in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS); redox‐inert zinc serves as a structural component of zinc‐finger proteins and a catalytic cofactor ...

Immune‐Cell Dynamics in the Tumor Microenvironment: Implications for Cancer Therapy
Immune‐cell dynamics in the tumor microenvironment converge on four major barriers to effective therapy: failed immune access, defective antigen visibility and priming, loss of effector maintenance, and suppressive tissue remodeling. These barriers emerge from local hypoxic, cytokine, metabolic, and stromal signals.

Ischemic Stroke and Traumatic Brain Injury: Epidemiology, Molecular Pathways, and Emerging Therapies
Schematic overview of secondary brain injury after ischemic stroke and traumatic brain injury. Both conditions trigger endothelial cell dysfunction, pericyte contraction, and upregulated AQP4 expression in astrocytic end‐feet, leading to blood–brain barrier disruption.

ABSTRACT The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic and information‐rich network that integrates structural support with biochemical and mechanical signaling. Among its key regulatory components are the Small Leucine‐Rich Proteoglycans (SLRPs), a family of matrix molecules that coordinate extracellular architecture with cell signaling.

TNF‐α upregulates Prodh2 via p53 in COPD myoblasts, driving mitochondrial ROS–induced cGAS/STING activation and myoblast dysfunction. This metabolic‐immune pathway underlies sarcopenia, positioning Prodh2 as a therapeutic target for COPD‐associated muscle wasting. ABSTRACT Sarcopenia in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is driven by elevated

The Crosstalk Between Diabetes and Alzheimer's Disease: A Molecular Perspective
Increasing evidence indicates an association between type 2 diabetes mellitus and Alzheimer’s disease, contributing to the proposed concept of AD as “type 3 diabetes.” Shared biological features such as impaired insulin signaling, chronic inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress have been observed in both T2DM and AD.

Cousin Syndrome Due to TBX15 Gene Variants: Three Novel Cases and Review of the Literature
Cousin syndrome (MIM#260660) is a rare recognizable genetic disorder characterized by short stature, pelvi‐scapular dysplasia, and craniofacial dysmorphism due to biallelic pathogenic variants in the TBX15 gene. ABSTRACT Cousin syndrome (MIM#260660) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by short stature, pelvi‐scapular dysplasia and craniofacial ...
