A phosphorothioate‐modified aptamer PTf‐SRiApt capable of disrupting “undruggable” transcription factor SCAF4‐POLR2A interaction with high inhibitory activity and biological stability is presented here. Through this inhibition, PTf‐SRiApt successfully arrested cell cycle progression, induced cell death, and elevated immune recruitment in SCAF4‐POLR2A ...

Type I Interferon Signaling Augments Autoimmunity in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder
The cGAS‐STING innate immune pathway is excessively activated both in peripheral monocytes and CNS microglia in patients with NMOSD, leading to an overproduction of IFN‐I. IFN‐I subsequently acts on AQP4‐specific autoreactive T cells. Blocking this pathway may offer novel therapeutic options for individuals with NMOSD.

PAD1 is upregulated within the CD133+ subset or cisplatin‐resistant ovarian cancer cells, which is positively associated with the upregulation of stemness‐related markers and maintenance of stemness in OCSLCs. Mechanistically, PAD1‐catalyzed AKT2 citrullination at R202 facilitates AKT2 phosphorylation, promoting CEBPβ expression and its binding to the ...
