Multifaceted Suppression of Staphylococcal Virulence Phenotypes: In Vitro Study of a Cellular Status With Reduced Agr Activity and Impaired Biofilm

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Finding of in vitro S. aureus status with reduced Agr activity and impaired biofilm. ABSTRACT Anti‐quorum sensing (QS) therapy has been focused on to reduce the virulence of pathogenic bacteria. However, there is a risk that suppression of the staphylococcal QS Agr system might promote biofilm formation.

Interrogating the Escherichia coli Epitranscriptome Via CRISPR Interference and Nanopore Native RNA Sequencing

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Epitranscriptomics is understudied in bacteria but has the ability to modulate antimicrobial resistance, virulence and pathogenicity. Pitt et al. implement two cutting‐edge techniques: CRISPR interference and Nanopore direct RNA sequencing along with functional assays to study RNA modifications in Escherichia coli.

An Acidic Tubulointerstitial Microenvironment Delays Cell‐Cycle Progression in Proximal Tubule Cells and Fibroblasts and Synergizes With Lactate to Drive Phenotypic Alterations

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by progressive tubulointerstitial inflammation and fibrosis, particularly affecting the proximal tubule. Both proximal tubular epithelial cells and interstitial fibroblasts contribute to CKD progression through cell‐cycle arrest and phenotypic transitions.

De Novo Discovery of Bioactive Cyclic Peptides via Cellular Selection of Genetically Encoded Libraries

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Genetically encoded cyclic peptide libraries can be employed in cellular selection platforms to identify cyclic peptide inhibitors for therapeutic targets by directly selecting for desired biological activities. This review systematically summarizes representative studies and suggests future opportunities for using cellular selection for de novo cyclic

NMR‐Guided Fragment Screening Identifies Privileged Noncanonical Amino Acids for mRNA Display

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
A strategy is reported to prescreen and prioritize noncanonical amino acids as fragments prior to their use in mRNA display peptide libraries. Using MDM2 as a target, two ncAAs that bind to the Trp binding pocket in MDM2 are found by protein‐observed NMR.

METTL18 is Required for Developmental, Metabolic, and Endocrine Regulation of Mammalian Growth

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 17, 15 September 2026.
METTL18 is essential for histidine Nτ‐methylation of proteins, normal embryonic development, iron and lipid metabolism, and hormone signaling pathways that support postnatal growth in mice. The main points of this study are as follows: First, mouse METTL18 catalyzes histidine Nτ‐methylation. Next, Mettl18 KO embryos are significantly smaller than their

PRC2.1 Coordinates Peri‐Nucleolar H3K27me3‐Enriched Heterochromatin Organization and NPM1 Pentamerization to Maintain Nucleolar Integrity

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 51, 14 September 2026.
PRC2.1(PCL2)‐coordinated H3K27me3‐enriched PNH establishes a spatial scaffold crucial for nucleolar integrity. As a crucial coordinator, PCL2 links PRC2.1 to chromatin organization and NPM1 assembly. This network‐based model reveals how chromatin modifications and nucleolar components cooperatively maintain nucleolar architecture, revealing novel ...
