Here, it is revealed that ovarian cancer cells release extracellular vesicles enriched with eIF4E, which alters protein production in macrophages. This leads to increased expression of 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methyl‐glutaryl‐coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), boosting cholesterol synthesis and activating an immunosuppressive pathway through X‐box binding protein 1 and ...

Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain cancer that often recurs and resists chemotherapy. This study found that a chemical called PGE2 causes surrounding brain cells (neurons) to become over‐excited, which makes GBM cells resistant to treatment. Researchers developed a new drug, “Compound 11,” which can cross into the brain and effectively block ...

Tendinopathy: The Interplay between Mechanical Stress, Inflammation, and Vascularity
This review explores the complex and self‐reinforcing cycle of mechanical stress, inflammation, and altered vascularity in tendinopathy—a common, painful tendon disorder. It integrates current findings on cellular, molecular, and biomechanical mechanisms, highlighting how mechanical overload, inflammatory signals, and abnormal blood vessel behavior ...

Genomic Insights into the Origin, High Fecundity and Environmental Adaptation of Hu Sheep
The Hu sheep diverged from the Small‐tailed Han sheep ≈1330 years ago, and subsequently migrated from northern to warm and humid southern regions. The genes BMPR1B, UNC5C, and GRID2 play a synergistic role in the superior reproductive traits of Hu sheep.

Peptide Hormone‐Mediated Regulation of Plant Development and Environmental Adaptability
In this review, recent advances in understanding the roles of plant peptide hormones in regulating growth, reproduction, and environmental adaptability are systematically summarized. It further elucidates the challenges in studying these peptides, such as their low abundance, functional redundancy, and complex signaling mechanisms, and highlights their
