PGC-1α induces mitochondrial and myokine transcriptional programs and lipid droplet and glycogen accumulation in cultured human skeletal muscle cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The transcriptional coactivator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-1α) is a chief activator of mitochondrial and metabolic programs and protects against atrophy in skeletal muscle (skm).

Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Predicting drug–target affinity (DTA) is critical for discovering and developing hepatoprotective agents that can prevent and treat liver diseases. In this study, we propose BiGraph‐DTA, a new predictive model for identifying DTA score prediction for hepatoprotective compounds by combining graph convolutional networks and bidirectional long ...

Targeting purine metabolism in ovarian cancer
Journal of Ovarian Research, 2022 Purine, an abundant substrate in organisms, is a critical raw material for cell proliferation and an important factor for immune regulation. The purine de novo pathway and salvage pathway are tightly regulated by multiple enzymes, and dysfunction in ...

Therapeutic targeting of chromatin alterations in leukemia and solid tumors
International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 2, Page 382-408, 15 January 2026.Abstract Alterations in chromatin conformation and post‐translational modification of histones have become increasingly recognized as critical drivers of cancer development, progression, and therapy resistance. Recent advances in drug development have led to the establishment of several highly selective small molecule inhibitors, several of which are ...

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 1, Page 199-221, January 2026.Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate (EGCG) acutely inhibited gluconeogenesis and enhanced glycolysis, glycogenolysis, and fatty acid oxidation in perfused rat livers. Mechanistic assays revealed mitochondrial uncoupling, inhibition of pyruvate carboxylation and glucose‐6‐phosphatase, shift of NADH/NAD+ ratios toward oxidation, and loss of membrane integrity ...

Advanced Synthesis &Catalysis, Volume 368, Issue 1, January 2026.Al‐Hilfi et al. present a biocatalytic strategy for synthesizing 5‐methyl‐5,6‐dihydrothymidine (5‐MDHT), a sensitive MRI contrast agent. The study demonstrates that recombinant enzyme catalysis offers an efficient, sustainable, and eco‐friendly alternative to traditional chemical synthesis for producing clinically relevant imaging probes.

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, 30 January 2026.This study develops a biomimetic nanoplatform using erythrocyte membrane‐camouflaged, CD144 antibody‐functionalized nanoparticles to deliver 2‐deoxy‐D‐ribose (2dDR). This system promotes heart valve endothelialization by enhancing endothelial cell migration and proliferation via EGFR activation, while improving hemocompatibility.
