Developmental Hypoxia Enhances Kidney Organoid Complexity and Maturity
The current bottleneck in metanephric mesenchyme (MM)‐derived nephron organoid development is the absence of a connected network of collecting ducts (CD) derived from the ureteric bud (UB). To address this limitation, this study proposes a hypoxia‐based differentiation method that mimics the natural renal developmental environment, enabling the ...

Post‐Translational Modified Neoantigens in Autoimmune Diseases: Challenges of Immune Tolerance
Autoimmune diseases have a high incidence and disability rate. The pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases involves the interaction among genetic factors, environmental factors, and immune disorders. The post‐translational modified neoantigens are the key nodal of these three factors. And these post‐translational modified neoantigens, after being presented

Mechanical stress activates PIEZO1 in vertebral growth plate chondrocytes, triggering ferroptosis through direct binding and inhibition of GPX4. This axis promotes lipid peroxidation and pathological ossification, accelerating spinal deformities. Clinical and genetic evidence (Piezo1‐cKO) confirms its role in scoliosis progression.

Pectin Metabolism Influences Phloem Architecture and Flowering Time in Arabidopsis Thaliana
Cell wall remodeling mediated by changes in pectic homogalacturonan, including its methyl‐esterification status and degradation, shapes wall architecture. This study finds that pectin metabolism dynamically modulates wall properties and triggers auxin responses, which influence phloem morphogenesis and function, mediating the long‐distance transport of
