PCSK9 Loss‐of‐Function Disrupts Cellular Microfilament Network via LIN28A/HES5/JMY Axis in Neural Tube Defects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PCSK9 acts as a molecular chaperone promoting LIN28A lysosomal degradation. LIN28A elevates transcription factor HES5, increasing JMY expression. PCSK9 loss causes neural tube defects (NTDs) by disrupting the LIN28A/HES5/JMY axis, and high JMY disorganizes the neural progenitor cell microfilament network, leading to incomplete neural tube structure in ...

T cells in normal pregnancy and recurrent pregnancy loss [PDF]

Reproductive BioMedicine Online, 2006
This review focuses on the possible role of T cells in successful pregnancy and in unexplained recurrent abortion. The functions exhibited by Th1 and Th2 cells have suggested, perhaps in a simplistic way, that Th1-type cytokines, which promote allograft rejection, may compromise pregnancy, whereas the Th2-type cytokines, by inhibiting Th1 responses ...

Snord15b Maintains Stemness of Intestinal Stem Cells via Enhancement of Alternative Splicing of Btrc Short Isoform for Suppression of β‐Catenin Ubiquitination

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In intestinal stem cells (ISCs), Snord15b associates with Ilf2 to recruit splicing factors for alternative splicing of Btrc mRNA, leading to the generation of short Btrc. This short Btrc fails to form a functional E3 ubiquitin ligase complex for β‐catenin ubiquitination and degradation.

Efficient Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer by Overcoming Both Pre‐ and Post‐Implantation Epigenetic Barriers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mammalian cloning via SCNT is limited by several epigenetic barriers. Kdm4d/Kdm5b overexpression plus TSA treatment overcomes epigenetic barriers during pre‐implantation development, while tetraploid complementation replaces defective extraembryonic lineages to bypass H3K27me3 imprinting loss to overcome epigenetic barriers in post‐implantation ...

Therapeutic Repair of Sperm Quality Decline Caused by Polytetrafluoroethylene

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Exposure to PTFE (teflon), a commonly used microplastic in non‐stick cookware, significantly reduces sperm quality in both humans and mice. Specifically, PTFE induces the disruption of sperm cytoskeleton and F‐actin assembly through targeting SKAP2 in haploid spermatid.

Translation of a Human‐Based Malaria‐on‐a‐Chip Phenotypic Disease Model for In Vivo Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inoculation of the Malaria‐on‐a‐Chip model with human erythrocytes infected with Plasmodium falciparum can support the entire intraerythrocytic lifecycle for 7 days in vitro. Utilizing this human‐based, serum‐free model provides an alternative to animal testing by introducing a human‐based, preclinical alternative for antimalarial therapeutic delivery.

ADAR1 as a Placental Innate Immune Rheostat Sustaining the Homeostatic Balance of Intrinsic Interferon Response at the Maternal‐Fetal Interface

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that ADAR1, an RNA‐editing enzyme, fine‐tunes immune responses in the placenta by preventing the accumulation of immunogenic double‐stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) from interferon‐stimulated genes. The loss of ADAR1 in the placenta leads to excessive interferon signaling restricted to the junctional zone, disrupting placental development and ...

The Critical Role of Enhanced OXPHOS and Mitochondrial Hyperpolarization in Simulated Microgravity‐Induced Oocyte Maturation Arrest

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Simulated microgravity induces distinct mitochondrial hyperactivation patterns‐elevated OXPHOS and MMP‐which accelerate meiosis without SAC failure but delays MTOC coalescence, leading to spindle defects and meiotic arrest. Prolonging M‐phase restores MTOC assembly and oocyte maturation.

Adipose Tissue Macrophages as Initiators of Exacerbated Periodontitis in Estrogen‐Deficient Environments via the Amplifier Extracellular Vesicles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chronic systemic inflammation, worsened by estrogen deficiency, underlies and exacerbates periodontitis. Proinflammatory macrophages within visceral adipose tissue are hyperactivated due to hyper‐DNA methylation, releasing small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) similar to those of their parent cells.
