Folding, misfolding, and regulation of intracellular traffic of G protein‐coupled receptors involved in the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background G protein‐coupled receptors are a large and functionally diverse family of membrane receptors involved in a number of biological processes. Like other proteins, G protein‐coupled receptors need to be properly folded in order to traffic to the plasma membrane and interact with agonist.

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

Promising Antibiofilm Activity of Peptidomimetics [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Pathogenic biofilms are a global health care concern, as they can cause extensive antibiotic resistance, morbidity, mortality, and thereby substantial economic loss. Scientific efforts have been made over the past few decades, but so far there is no effective treatment targeting the bacteria in biofilms. Antimicrobial peptidomimetics have been proposed

TREM‐1 Blockade Inhibits Inflammasome Activation and Pyroptosis: Novel Insights on the Role of TREM‐1 and Syk in Monosodium Urate Crystal‐Induced Inflammation

Immunology, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the roles triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells‐1 (TREM‐1) plays in monosodium urate (MSU) crystal‐induced inflammasome activation and IL‐1β secretion in gout arthritis. The present study provides novel data suggesting that blockade of TREM‐1 by LP17 attenuates MSU‐crystal‐induced inflammation through inhibition of ...

Targeting Tumor Dormancy and Recurrence: Molecular Mechanisms and Peptide Therapeutic Delivery

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms that regulate tumor dormancy and its role in cancer recurrence, with emphasis on immune evasion, extracellular matrix remodeling, metabolic regulation and angiogenic switching. It further discusses emerging peptide–based therapeutic strategies aimed at detecting, modulating, and eliminating dormant tumor ...

Diazirines Beyond Photoaffinity Labeling: A Comprehensive Overview of Applications in Biological Sciences, Materials Chemistry, and NMR‐Spectroscopy

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 4, 22 January 2026.
Diazirines are three‐membered, nitrogen‐containing heterocycles that decompose under light or heat to generate carbenes. For the past two decades, they have served mainly as minimally invasive tags in photoaffinity labeling (PAL). More recently, their value as versatile carbene precursors has been recognized.

Making Blank Faces Expressive: Chemical Approaches to the Modification of Chemically Inert Peptides

Journal of Peptide Science, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
As an alternative to the conventional approach, which combines amino acid monomers in a one‐by‐one fashion to peptide derivatives, the chemical modification of existing peptides has attracted significant attention in recent years. However, such approaches generally target the reactive functional groups in cysteine and lysine residues, particularly in ...

Bio-mimetic strategies to re-activate apoptotic cell death for cancer treatments [PDF]

Exploration of Drug Science
Apoptosis is a crucial process to maintain the correct balance between healthy cells and committed-to-death cells in every tissue. The internal (or mitochondrial) and external (or death receptor) pathways are responsible for driving a series of molecular
