Extracellular and Membrane Protein: Structure, Biological Functions, Diseases, and an Emerging Modality for Drug Discovery

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Targeted protein degradation represents a paradigm shift from traditional protein inhibition to complete protein elimination. This is achieved through three main strategies for degrading extracellular and membrane proteins: recruitment of cell‐surface LTRs, engagement of intracellular proteins, and receptor‐independent mechanisms.

Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase regulates cell survival through autophagy in cardiomyocytes [PDF]

Autophagy, 2009
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) acts as a transfer molecule for electrons, thereby acting as a key cofactor for energy production. NAD(+) also serves as a substrate for cellular enzymes, including poly (ADPribose) polymerase (PARP)-1 and Sirt1.

Epigenetic mechanisms and therapeutic innovations in chronic pain‐associated neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 7, Page 1313-1340, April 2026.
Abstract Chronic pain, marked by nociceptive sensitization and maladaptive neuroplasticity, affects 30% of the global population with escalating socioeconomic burdens. Epidemiological data show a 2‐3‐fold increase in neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities among individuals with chronic pain, where epigenetic dysregulation serves as a key mechanism linking ...

Dual action of imeglimin on insulin secretion and sensitivity in type 2 diabetes

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 2744-2756, April 2026.
Abstract Aims Imeglimin is a novel oral hypoglycemic agent approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in Japan, with dual actions to enhance insulin secretion and improve insulin sensitivity, suggested by preclinical evidence. However, the effect of imeglimin on tissue‐specific insulin sensitivity and glucose kinetics using glucose tracers is ...

Melatonin and the Dental Pulp: A Scoping Review

International Endodontic Journal, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 590-613, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background In general medicine, melatonin is known to enhance wound healing and promote stem cell differentiation. Its potential relevance in endodontics, however, remains underexplored. Objectives This scoping review aimed to systematically assess the available evidence on the effects of melatonin (a) on dental pulp tissue and (b) on human ...

Post‐Translational Modifications in Animal Circadian Clocks

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
Circadian clocks coordinate physiology with daily environmental cycles through conserved transcriptional–translational feedback loops. This review summarizes how post‐translational modifications fine‐tune clock function, highlights the evolutionary convergence of circadian timekeeping in Drosophila and mammals, and emphasizes the central of these ...

Trans‐Omics Integration Reveals That the Kidney Contributes to Systemic Aging via Sexually Dimorphic Accumulation of Glycosphingolipids

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Female‐specific renal GluCer accumulation disrupts mitochondrial quality control via a conserved purine‐mTORC1 pathway, triggering a wave of uremic toxins into the systemic circulation that constitutes a female‐biased vulnerability toward renal‐driven multiorgan senescence.

Aging‐Derived Alterations in Genomic, Immune, and Metabolic Networks: Implications for Cancer Development and Therapy

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
Ageing acts as a double‐edged sword in cancer. In the elderly, open chromatin, immunosenescence, and chronic inflammation drive SASP (IL‐6, MMPs), MDSC accumulation and T‐cell suppression, fostering tumor‐promoting microenvironments and limited therapeutic benefit.

HRS Degradation‐Induced Nicotinamide Deficiency in Placental Extracellular Vesicles Triggers Preeclampsia by Disrupting Maternal‐Fetal Immune Homeostasis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 11, 23 February 2026.
This study shows that lower NAM levels in PE‐derived pEVs correlate with disease severity. NAM‐deficient pEVs reduce Th1 and Th17 inhibition, leading to PE‐like symptoms. NAM in pEVs inhibits Th1 via SIRT1 and Th17 via macrophages. Reduced NAM in PE‐EVs is due to decreased HRS expression in trophoblasts, resulting from elevated HSP27.

Oxygen Therapy for Intracranial Hemorrhage

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.
Oxygen therapies confer neuroprotective effects on patients with intracranial hemorrhage through mechanisms such as anti‐inflammation, reduction of cerebral edema and neuronal death, and enhancement of aerobic metabolism. Clinical evidence suggests that oxygen therapy may improve neurological recovery and decrease mortality in patients with ...
