The NLRP3 Inflammasome: Mechanisms of Activation, Regulation, and Therapeutic Opportunities
Diverse diseases converge on NLRP3. We depict a discovery‐to‐clinic track: high‐throughput/phenotypic screens, structure‐guided design, and modality innovation (allosteric inhibitors, interface blockers, degraders) deliver third‐generation, disease‐tailored NLRP3 control.

ABSTRACT A plethora of cellular signaling pathways are dysregulated in cancer cells, promoting carcinogenesis and migration. Cholesterol has recently been linked to cancer by several subcellular mechanisms, especially by its involvement in the formation of lipid rafts, which promote oncogenic signaling and cancer cell invasion. Squalene synthase (SQS),

Light‐Based Molecular Tools to Precisely Monitor and Operate β‐Adrenoceptors
ABSTRACT β‐Adrenoceptors are important G protein–coupled receptors involved in cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological regulation. To study their function with high precision, light‐based molecular tools have been developed offering precise spatiotemporal control.

In hypoxia‐induced pulmonary hypertension, endothelial HIF‐2α accumulation and autophagic activation drive vascular remodeling. We demonstrate that the novel lysosomal inhibitor ROC‐325 simultaneously attenuates this pathogenic autophagy and promotes HIF‐2α degradation.

Starting from incomplete structural information of 5‐lipoxygenase (5‐LOX), a multistep computational pipeline in silico led to powerful tools for the rational design and identification of novel chelator inhibitors. A reconstruction of the first full‐length 5‐LOX was performed and used to apply docking studies to enable to create a pharmacophore model ...
