Unveiling Gut Homeostasis Disruption in Sepsis: Towards an Integrated Mechanistic and Translational Roadmap

Cell Proliferation, Volume 59, Issue 8, August 2026.
Elucidating the contribution of gut‐organ axes will provide new insights for developing combined therapeutic strategies against sepsis‐associated multiple organ dysfunction. ABSTRACT Sepsis, a life‐threatening clinical syndrome precipitated by a maladaptive host response to infection, is associated with substantial morbidity and high mortality rates ...

Blocking peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 confers neuroprotective effect in the post-ischemic brain through both NETosis-dependent and -independent mechanisms

Acta Neuropathologica Communications
Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) is an enzyme that modifies proteins by converting positively charged arginine residues to neutral citrulline residues.

Anti‐Modified Protein Antibodies in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Pathogenic, Protective, or Passive Bystander?

Immunological Reviews, Volume 341, Issue 1, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The presence of anti‐modified protein antibodies (AMPA) is a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). AMPA recognize post‐translationally modified proteins and are cross‐reactive. AMPA include anti‐citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA), anti‐carbamylated protein antibodies (anti‐CarP), and anti‐acetylated protein antibodies (AAPA).

Citrullination and Deamidation in Type 1 Diabetes: Linking Beta Cell Stress to Neoantigen‐Driven Autoimmunity

Immunological Reviews, Volume 341, Issue 1, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Citrullination and deamidation are post‐translational modifications (PTMs) increasingly recognized as important contributors to neoepitope formation in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Under inflammatory and endoplasmic reticulum stress conditions, beta cells activate calcium‐dependent peptidylarginine deiminase and transglutaminase enzymes, leading to ...

New structural scaffolds to enhance the metabolic stability of arginine-derived PAD4 inhibitors

Results in Chemistry
Although arginine-derived PAD inhibitors represented by Cl-amidine (2) showed strong inhibition of PAD4 enzymes and exhibited efficacies in a variety of cellular assays and animal studies, their metabolic instability is a significant challenge for pre ...

Hypoxia‐preconditioned adipose‐derived mesenchymal stem cells‐derived exosomes transferring H19 obstruct neutrophil extracellular traps formation via HOXA5‐mediated inactivation of TLR4/NF‐κB/NLRP3 inflammatory signaling

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 1283-1303, August 2026.
In this study, we uncovered that Hypo‐Exo transferring H19 promoted diabetic wound healing by repressing NETs formation via the miR‐130a/b‐3p/HOXA5 pathway to inactivate the TLR4/NF‐κB/NLRP3 inflammatory signaling. ABSTRACT Background Hypoxia‐stimulated adipose‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs)‐derived exosomes (Hypo‐Exo) have a positive impact on

Decoding MAPK cascades in plant immunity: Activation, regulation, integration, and pathogen manipulation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 3000-3024, August 2026.
This review focuses on mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation and summarizes how plants regulate and integrate MAPK signaling in modulating plant immune responses. It also examines the effectors pathogens have evolved to manipulate MAPK activation and thereby inhibit plant immunity.
