Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Novel FKS1 and FKS2 modifications in a high-level echinocandin resistant clinical isolate of Candida glabrata

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2019
Echinocandin resistance in Candida glabrata poses a serious clinical challenge. The underlying resistance mechanism of a pan-echinocandin-resistant C. glabrata isolate (strain L74) was investigated in this study.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Study on resistance mechanisms and molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa to ceftazidime/avibactam in a certain region of China

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(CRPA) poses a serious threat in healthcare settings due to its multidrug resistance and high mortality. Although ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA) demonstrates potent activity against CRPA, resistance has emerged ...

Epigenetic reprogramming of lineage switching in cancer

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer cells rarely commit to a single identity. Epigenetic mechanisms and tumor microenvironment cues push epithelial cells toward flexible, hybrid states that can shift into mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, or stem‐like fates, driving metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. Targeting the epigenetic regulators behind these transitions, using

Overexpression of TuABCC4 is associated with abamectin resistance in Tetranychus urticae Koch

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Pesticide resistance greatly limits control efficacy after the long-term application of pesticides. The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, is a notorious agricultural pest worldwide that is resistant to various pesticides, including ...

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Potential of small-molecule targeted drugs in combination with CAR-T cell therapy for hematologic lymphomas

Frontiers in Immunology
As the traditional first-line standard treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the R-CHOP chemotherapy regimen faces the problem of about 30%-40% of patients progressing into relapsed or refractory disease.
