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 ...

Use of the “Ru‐1O2‐Hydrazide” System Catalyzed by Metallic Ruthenium Complexes to Decipher the Interaction Between Microbes and Host Cancer Cells

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 52, 18 September 2026.
ABSTRACT The dynamic interplay between bacteria and host cancer cells plays a critical role in tumor microenvironment modulation, bacterial pathogenesis, and potential oncotherapy applications. However, traditional methods often fail to capture transient or spatially restricted molecular interactions at the bacteria‐cancer cell interface.

Molecular and Cellular Hallmarks of Age‐Related Vestibular Hair Cell Degeneration

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 53, 24 September 2026.
This study utilizes single‐cell RNA‐seq transcriptomes, advanced imaging, and electrophysiology to examine universal and cell‐type‐specific aging signatures of vestibular hair cells. The study shows that impaired hair bundle function is a key driver of age‐related vestibular dysfunction.

Type I Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins from Saponaria officinalis

, 2010
Saporins are ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) extracted from different tissues of the soapwort plant (Saponaria officinalis L.). While the biosynthesis of these proteins and their roles in planta have received little attention, saporins have been ...
