The GPX3‐VCAM1 Axis Gates Pro‐Fibrotic Tubule Cell Fate in Hyperuricemic Nephropathy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hyperuricemia induces NLRP3 inflammasome signaling activation and downregulation of GPX3 in proximal tubular epithelial cells, leading to oxidative stress–driven VCAM1 upregulation, emergence of pro‐fibrotic proximal tubule cells, macrophage recruitment, and renal fibrosis.

Direct observation of subunit rotation during DNA strand exchange by serine recombinases

Nature Communications
Serine recombinases are proposed to catalyse site-specific recombination by a unique mechanism called subunit rotation. Cutting and rejoining DNA occurs within an intermediate synaptic complex comprising a recombinase tetramer bound to two DNA sites ...

Design of a Novel Diamine Biosensor to Guide the Engineering of Escherichia coli for Cadaverine Overproduction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A high‐throughput screening platform was established by integrating an in vivo cadaverine biosensor with a fluorescence‐activated cell sorting (FACS) system. Biosensor‐driven specific exporter tuning, pathway optimization and genome‐wide target mining were conducted to maximize cadaverine production in Escherichia coli.

Decoding the Neural Circuit Underlying Context‐Cue Association in Retrieval of Morphine Reward Memory

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Contextual cues recruit the glutamatergic vCA1–dmPFC pathway to retrieve morphine reward memory by reshaping cell‐type‐specific prefrontal microcircuit activity. Distinct regulation of PV+ and SST+ interneurons defines this hippocampal–prefrontal mechanism.

Cannabinoid CB1 Receptor in Nociceptors Mediates Postoperative Analgesia via ASIC3 Inhibition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CB1R and ASIC3 are co‐expressed in CGRP+ nociceptors of mouse DRG. Plantar incision triggers an upregulation of ASIC3 and activation of ASIC3+ neurons, driving mechanical allodynia. CB1R activation suppresses ASIC3 function and downstream ERK1/2 phosphorylation, thereby braking nociceptive signaling and accelerating pain resolution.

Metabolic‐Redox Remodeling of Inflammatory Synovium by Mannose‐Modified Selenium Nanoparticles for Osteoarthritis Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Elevated GLUT1‐driven glycolysis and disrupted selenoprotein‐dependent redox homeostasis drive osteoarthritic progression. Intra‐articular mannose‐modified selenium nanoparticles (M‐SeNPs) selectively target hypermetabolic synovial cells to reprogram aberrant glycolysis and restore endogenous antioxidant defenses.

Development of CRISPR-RNA Guided Recombinases for Genome Engineering [PDF]

, 2018
: Recombinases are powerful tools for genome engineering and synthetic biology, however recombinases are limited by a lack of user-programmability and often require complex directed-evolution experiments to retarget specificity.

A heterodimer of evolved designer-recombinases precisely excises a human genomic DNA locus

, 2019
Site-specific recombinases (SSRs) such as the Cre/loxP system are useful genome engineering tools that can be repurposed by altering their DNA-binding specificity.

Meningeal Lymphatic LTBR Deficiency Links Spinal Cord Injury to Secondary Brain Pathology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) induces remote brain alterations beyond the injured spinal cord. This study links dysfunction of meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) to neuroinflammation and neuronal injury after SCI. LTBR‐mediated lymphatic restoration improves meningeal lymphatic integrity and neurological outcomes, highlighting LTBR as a potential regulator ...
