Hypoxia and the cytoskeleton

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic outlining the activation of hypoxia‐sensitive pathways, the influence of hypoxia and associated pathways on the cytoskeleton, and the impact of these on disease progression. Abstract A highly‐regulated and dynamic cytoskeleton is vital for functional cellular physiology and the maintenance of homeostasis.

New Angle of View on the Role of Rho/Rho Kinase Pathway in Human Diseases

Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2014
Rho-kinase is an effector molecule of RhoA, a monomeric GTP-binding protein, and causes Ca2+ sensitization through inactivation of myosin phosphatase.

The microtubule end-binding affinity of EB1 is enhanced by a dimeric organization that is susceptible to phosphorylation

Journal of Cell Science, 2020
In cells, microtubule dynamics are regulated by plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs). End-binding protein 1 (EB1, also known as MAPRE1) acts as a master regulator of +TIP networks by targeting the growing ends of microtubules and recruiting other factors ...

Melanoma: Pathogenesis and Targeted Therapy

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
The treatment landscape for advanced melanoma has evolved significantly. BRAF–MEK inhibitor combinations are standard for BRAF‐mutant melanoma, whereas targeting NRAS mutations is more challenging, with MEK inhibitors like tunlametinib emerging as an option.

Guanylate binding proteins directly attack Toxoplasma gondii via supramolecular complexes

eLife, 2016
GBPs are essential for immunity against intracellular pathogens, especially for Toxoplasma gondii control. Here, the molecular interactions of murine GBPs (mGBP1/2/3/5/6), homo- and hetero-multimerization properties of mGBP2 and its function in parasite ...

Extensile Active Hydrogels Driven by Living FtsZ Polymers

Small, Volume 22, Issue 3, 13 January 2026.
Upon post‐gelation activation with Mg2⁺/GTP, living FtsZ polymers treadmill inside a polyacrylamide network, generating extensile internal stresses that drive isotropic swelling and softening. Interpreting mechanics against a Flory–Rehner swelling baseline separates passive dilution from genuine activity, revealing an FR‐normalized permittivity that ...

Polar‐localized EXO70G1 regulates root development in Arabidopsis thaliana

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 1, Page 96-112, January 2026.
The putative exocyst subunit EXO70G1 exhibits apical‐basal polarity in Arabidopsis root cells; this polarity stabilizes membrane domains to facilitate targeting of the auxin transporter PIN‐FORMED2 during root development. ABSTRACT Cellular asymmetry, which represents a fundamental characteristic of cell polarity, is prominently illustrated by the ...

Quantitative Treatments for Explaining the Mechanism and Kinetics of Catalytic Electron Transfers in Murburn Processes, Particularly Involving Heme Enzymes Like (Per)oxidases and P450s

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The seminal Michaelis–Menten theorization for biological catalysis was based on “transition state” (TS), involving the formation of a topologically complementary substrate (S) and enzyme (E) complex (ES) at the “active site” of the latter. Rudolph Marcus put forth the theory of outer sphere electron transfer (ET) in a “donor–acceptor” TS complex, which

cGAS Inhibits ALDH2 to Suppress Lipid Droplet Function and Regulate MASLD Progression

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 46, December 11, 2025.
cGAS is a cytosolic DNA sensor known for innate immune defense. cGAS binds and suppresses ALDH2 are showed, limiting acetyl‐CoA production. cGAS loss activates ALDH2, promoting histone acetylation, lipogenesis, and lipid droplets accumulation. cGas‐/‐ mice on a high‐fat diet show signs of worsened MASLD.

Cancer Biology of GSPT1: Mechanisms and Targeted Therapy Opportunities of Molecular Glue Degraders

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 47, December 18, 2025.
This review systemically summarizes the structure, expression, regulatory networks, and isoform‐specific signaling of GSPT1 in cancers. According to the integration of GSPT1 targeted therapies, current challenges of GSPT1 targeted therapies are further analyzed, and provide therapeutic opportunities for the application of GSPT1 degraders in precision ...
