An update on the landscape of collagen bioactive fragments

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The remodeling of the extracellular matrix releases collagen bioactive fragments, which exert molecular functions and regulate numerous biological processes via several signaling pathways. Here, we summarize the latest findings describing the roles of major bioactive fragments from collagens I, IV, VI, and XVIII in various physiological and ...

Extremophilic 50S Ribosomal RNA-Binding Protein L35Ae as a Basis for Engineering of an Alternative Protein Scaffold.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Due to their remarkably high structural stability, proteins from extremophiles are particularly useful in numerous biological applications. Their utility as alternative protein scaffolds could be especially valuable in small antibody mimetic engineering.

Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation in Viral Infection and Immunology

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
LLPS organizes viral replication and antiviral immunity. Viruses hijack LLPS to form replication factories and evade immune sensors, while hosts assemble LLPS‐driven signaling hubs (e.g., MAVS, RIG‐I, and SGs) to amplify interferon responses. Targeting these condensate interfaces offers novel therapeutic strategies against infectious diseases ...

Analysis of multimerization of the SARS coronavirus nucleocapsid protein

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2004
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), an emerging disease characterized by atypical pneumonia, has recently been attributed to a novel coronavirus. The genome of SARS Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) has recently been sequenced, and a number of genes identified, including that of the nucleocapsid protein (N).

Structural Modeling and Dynamics of the Full‐Length Homer1 Multimer

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 4, Page 947-960, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Homer proteins are modular scaffold molecules that constitute an integral part of the protein network within the postsynaptic density. Full‐length Homer1 forms a large homotetramer via a long coiled coil region, and can interact with proline‐rich target sequences with its globular EVH1 domain.

NOTCH3 CADASIL Variant Receptor Aggregation Requires NOTCH3 Wild‐Type Receptors: Identification of Highly Selective Inhibitors That Block the Process

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 6, 31 March 2026.
CADASIL is the major cause of early‐onset stroke and cognitive dysfunction, including dementia. It is caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 receptor that result in the formation of protein aggregates in the small vessel walls of the brain. We demonstrated that NOTCH3 CADASIL variant receptor aggregation is strictly dependent on interactions with NOTCH3 ...

Targeting Expanded CUG and CTG Repeats as a Therapeutic Approach for Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1)

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 5, 13 March 2026.
DM1 is an RNA gain‐of‐function disease caused by CTG repeat expansion, producing toxic r(CUG)exp RNA that sequesters MBNL1 and impairs splicing. This review covers the field of CUG and CTG ligands identified or rationally designed as DM1 drug candidates, highlighting their molecular design, RNA‐ or DNA‐binding modes, in vitro affinities and ...

Autophagy Activators Normalize Aberrant Tau Proteostasis and Rescue Synapses in Human Familial Alzheimer's Disease iPSC‐Derived Cortical Organoids

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 17, 23 March 2026.
A new cerebrocortical organoid model using isogenic hiPSCs with familial Alzheimer's mutations recapitulates key AD features, including amyloid‐beta and phospho‐Tau aggregation, neuronal hyperexcitability, and synapse loss. Single‐cell RNA‐seq reveals aberrant pathways in excitatory and inhibitory neurons.
