Modulating Purothionin Accumulation and Signal Peptide Cleavage Fine‐Tunes Wheat Flour Gluten Properties to Improve Cookie‐Making Quality

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dual genetic strategies for improving wheat processing quality by regulating purothionin accumulation to modulate gluten quantity and quality. The first strategy involves targeting signal peptide (SP) cleavage sites (e.g., through mutation) to indirectly reduce gluten content, thereby disrupting gluten network formation.

PM10 Impairs CD56dim NK Cell Cytotoxicity via FNBP1 Suppression to Exacerbate Rheumatoid Arthritis: Insights from Multimodal Multi‐Omics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study, through multi‐omics approaches and animal models, revealed that air pollutant PM10 exacerbates the progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by suppressing FNBP1 expression and impairing the cytotoxic function of CD56dim NK cells. The “PM10–FNBP1–NK cells” axis provided novel insights into the environmental pathogenesis of RA and suggested ...

Cancer‐Like Fragmentomic Characteristics of Somatic Variants in Cell‐Free DNA

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We report that in non‐cancerous subjects, cell‐free (cfDNA) molecules harboring somatic variants exhibit cancer‐like fragmentomic characteristics associated with clonal hematopoiesis. Importantly, these somatic variant‐associated fragmentomic aberrations are more pronounced in cancer patients. Leveraging such somatic variant‐associated signals in cfDNA,

Natural Negative Feedback Loops Confer Indica‐Japonica Differentiation for Grain Size Homeostasis in Rice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the genetic and molecular mechanisms controlling grain size homeostasis through fine‐tuning OsGRX8 self‐expression by two natural negative feedback loops functioning in redox‐dependent or ‐independent manners and identifies two self‐regulatory haplotypes (SRHs) for the subspecies differentiation in rice.

Accurate differentiation of Escherichia coli and Shigella serogroups: challenges and strategies

New Microbes and New Infections, 2018
Shigella spp. and Escherichia coli are closely related; both belong to the family Enterobacteriaceae. Phenotypically, Shigella spp. and E. coli share many common characteristics, yet they have separate entities in epidemiology and clinical disease, which

TOGR3, a Proteasome β4 Subunit, Orchestrates Sugar Homeostasis to Trade Off Growth and Thermotolerance in Rice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies a novel thermoregulatory mechanism in rice: TOGR3 partners with 26S proteasome subunits, including TT1, to drive thermoresponsive ubiquitin–proteasome activity, maintaining sugar homeostasis in stomatal regulation to balance growth and stress resistance.
