The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Base‐pair opening and closing regulate nucleic‐acid structure, stability, and function, but how these motions behave under intracellular molecular crowding remains unclear. Using NMR, we quantified these dynamics in a DNA triplex under two crowder‐reconstituted environments that mimic cellular crowding.

Transgenic selection and underlying mechanisms in apicomplexan parasites
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Transgenic selection markers have driven genetic engineering in apicomplexans, enabling precise, iterative experiments. This review discusses mechanistic details of drug selection markers, strategies for marker recycling, and practical considerations for several clinically relevant parasites.

From hepatic to hematopoietic: LRH‐1's expanding cellular repertoire to the immune system
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.The nuclear receptor LRH‐1 is a well‐characterized regulator of endodermal tissue. Yet, increasing evidence indicates that LRH‐1, although expressed at low levels, is also a critical regulator of the hematopoietic system. LRH‐1 regulates the immune system by contributing to immune cell‐specific functions.

Physiological media and oxygen levels modulate cancer hallmarks in cultured breast cancer cells
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.MCF7 breast cancer cells were cultured in standard conditions (18% O2 and DMEM) and physiological conditions (5% O2 and Plasmax, a medium modeled after the human plasma metabolome). A combined transcriptomic and proteomic approach was used to identify gene expression signatures at the mRNA and protein levels upstream of functional enrichment analyses ...

CD36‐mediated lipid rewiring in the metabolic adaptation of tumour ecosystems
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Nutrient deprivation drives a lipid‐centric shift in tumour metabolic symbiosis and signalling network. CD36 functions as a bidirectional bridge, transferring fatty acids from stromal donors (adipocytes, CAFs) to the ecosystem tumour‐ and microenvironment‐dependently.

4‐1BB Expression and Signaling Regulates MAIT Cell Activation and Effector Functions
Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.4‐1BB is a highly expressed TNFRSF co‐stimulatory receptor on MAIT cells upon activation. Expression and signaling via 4‐1BB enhance activation and provide co‐stimulation, boosting MAIT cell effector responses to TCR‐mediated activation. ABSTRACT Mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are abundant unconventional T cells that recognize microbe ...
