Enhanced Activities of OCT4 and SOX2 Promote Epigenetic Reprogramming by Shortening G1 Phase
Fusing the VP16 domain to OCT4 and SOX2 (OvSvK) enhances iPSC generation by activating downstream targets, including those regulating the cell cycle. This accelerates reprogramming by shortening the G1 phase and reducing H3K27me3 levels. Modulating Ccnd1, Cdkn2a, and Ccne1 improves efficiency, linking cell cycle to epigenetic remodeling.

The study reveals that glutaminolysis in macrophages is inhibited under type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) conditions, which impedes fracture healing by reducing bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) production through increased cytosine methylation on the promoter.

Apoptotic Bodies Restore NAD and Mitochondrial Homeostasis in Fibroblasts
Mesenchymal stem cell‐derived apoptotic bodies (MSC‐ABs) target keloid fibroblasts (KFs), restoring nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) metabolism and mitochondrial function, suppressing collagen overproduction, and rebalancing tissue homeostasis, offering a novel therapy for keloid.

Biosecurity Primitive: Polymerase X‐based Genetic Physical Unclonable Functions
What if every cell line can carry an unforgeable genomic fingerprint—one that proves its origin, ensures its authenticity, and thwarts unauthorized duplication? Here, CRISPR‐induced DNA lesions paired with TdT‐mediated repair produce robust, unique, and unclonable genetic signatures—advancing the concept of molecular Physical Unclonable Functions (PUF)

Eosinophils play a crucial role in the progression of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA). This study demonstrates that eosinophils, induced by OVA/IL‐5, promote Lumican secretion in the synovium, which binds to Annexin A1 in chondrocytes, inhibiting transforming growth factor β2 and Smad2/3 phosphorylation.
