Associations of plasma protein levels with risk of colorectal cancer: a proteome-wide Mendelian randomization study

Clinical Proteomics
Abstract Background The treatment of advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) poses a global challenge. Mendelian Randomization (MR) has been primarily applied for repurposing licensed drugs and uncovering new therapeutic targets. Objective This study aims to systematically identify potential plasma protein targets for CRC using ...

Linear and non-linear proteome-wide association studies provide novel insight into venous thromboembolism

Nature Communications
Venous thromboembolism is a life-threatening vascular event with high prevalence and genetic determinants. PWAS has become a popular strategy to identify therapeutic targets of complex diseases. However, the current PWAS model only considers the linear relationship between protein and disease.

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Adenosine triphosphate as a modulator of protein interactions and stability

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ATP is best known as the cell's energy currency, but it also shapes how proteins fold, interact, aggregate and form biomolecular condensates. This review explains the emerging physical principles behind these effects, including weak binding to charged protein regions, magnesium‐dependent behaviour and concentration‐dependent control of protein ...

PSMB4: a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for depression, perspective from integration analysis of depression GWAS data and human plasma proteome

Translational Psychiatry
Depression is a common and severe mental disorder that affects more than 300 million people worldwide. While it is known to have a moderate genetic component, identifying specific genes that contribute to the disorder has been challenging.

Plasma EV Proteomics Identifies ECM Remodeling and Inflammatory Proteins LUM and C7 as Candidate Biomarkers in FSHD

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is one of the most debilitating and common muscular dystrophies. Despite its severity, no approved therapy exists for FSHD patients. However, several therapeutic candidates are currently under development, and some have recently entered clinical trials, marking the need for reliable ...

Human brain proteome-wide association study provides insights into the genetic components of protein abundance in obesity

International Journal of Obesity
Abstract Backgrounds:Genome-wide association studies have identified multiple genetic variants associated with obesity. However, most obesity-associated loci were waiting to be translated into new biological insights. Given the critical role of brain in obesity development, we sought to explore whether obesity-associated genetic variants could ...

Nanofiber‐Supported Decellularized Matrix Membrane Creates a Biomimetic Biochemical and Biophysical Niche for Intestinal Organoid Epithelium

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A nanofiber‐supported decellularized extracellular matrix (NaDE) membrane recreates key biochemical and mechanical features of native intestinal tissue. This platform enables the formation of a more physiologically relevant intestinal epithelium, enhancing stem cell maintenance and promoting diverse cell differentiation.
