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 ...

Biochemical Engineering Perspective on cGAS: From Enzyme Discovery to Potential Industrial Application

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 5, 13 March 2026.
This review examines the structural and enzymatic properties of cyclic GMP‐AMP synthase, including substrate promiscuity, homologs, and engineered variants. In addition, it evaluates potential expression systems for large‐scale enzyme production and analyzes reaction and purification strategies for the synthesis of cyclic dinucleotides to connect ...

Survivin and Aurora Kinase A control cell fate decisions during mitosis

Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 727-752, March 2026.
Aurora A interacts with survivin during mitosis and regulates its centromeric role. Loss of Aurora A activity mislocalises survivin, the CPC and BubR1, leading to disruption of the spindle checkpoint and triggering premature mitotic exit, which we refer to as ‘mitotic slippage’.

Liquid biopsy epigenetics: establishing a molecular profile based on cell‐free DNA

Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 588-610, March 2026.
Cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) fragments in plasma from cancer patients carry epigenetic signatures reflecting their cells of origin. These epigenetic features include DNA methylation, nucleosome modifications, and variations in fragmentation. This review describes the biological properties of each feature and explores optimal strategies for harnessing cfDNA ...

Naked cuticle is essential for Drosophila wing development beyond Wingless signaling

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 3, Page 532-541, March 2026.
Naked cuticle (Nkd), a Wnt signaling inhibitor, assumes extensive roles in Drosophila wing development. Overexpressing Nkd causes smaller, crumpled wings, while also perturbing multiple signaling pathways and developmental genes. A specific region (R1S) is critical for Nkd's function as a signaling integrator, offering new insights for studying its ...

Integrative Approaches for DNA Sequence‐Controlled Functional Materials

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 18, 2 March 2026.
DNA is emerging as a programmable building block for functional materials with applications in biomimicry, biochemical, and mechanical information processing. The integration of simulations, experiments, and machine learning is explored as a means to bridge DNA sequences with macroscopic material properties, highlighting current advances and providing ...

Chromatin Topology Reconfiguration Orchestrates Thermotolerant Male Fertility via GhAL5 in Cotton

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 14, 9 March 2026.
This study investigates cotton’s high‐temperature (HT) response using multi‑omics. Dynamic 3D genome changes drive expression bias affecting male fertility. The tolerant line shows controlled chromatin dynamics, while the sensitive line exhibits overactivation.

Cancer‐Like Fragmentomic Characteristics of Somatic Variants in Cell‐Free DNA

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
We report that in non‐cancerous subjects, cell‐free (cfDNA) molecules harboring somatic variants exhibit cancer‐like fragmentomic characteristics associated with clonal hematopoiesis. Importantly, these somatic variant‐associated fragmentomic aberrations are more pronounced in cancer patients. Leveraging such somatic variant‐associated signals in cfDNA,
