Rodent models of Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) was first described over a century ago. However, the mechanisms underlying the disease are not well understood to this day. This has negatively impacted our ability to create animal models to design and test targeted reliable treatments for the disease.

Macrophage PABPC4‐SPP1 Axis Orchestrates Immunosuppression in Colorectal Cancer
In the CRC microenvironment, macrophage PABPC4 binds to the 3′UTR of SPP1 mRNA to stabilize its expression, thereby sustaining M2‐like immunosuppressive macrophage polarization. Concurrently, this axis suppresses CD8+ T cell effector functions via CD44 signaling, collectively fostering an immunosuppressive niche that drives tumor progression.

In septic cardiomyopathy, PARP7 directly binds TBK1 and mediates its ADP‐ribosylation, thereby repressing TBK1‐driven proinflammatory signaling in macrophages. ABSTRACT Septic cardiomyopathy is a life‐threatening complication of sepsis, and an uncontrolled inflammatory response represents a key pathogenic mechanism. PARP7 negatively regulates the IFN‐I

Deubiquitination of Vangl by USP6 and USP32 Regulates Planar Cell Polarity Signaling
Compartment‐specific deubiquitination controls Vangl dosage and planar cell polarity signaling. USP6 and USP32 regulate distinct subcellular pools of Vangl by removing distinct ubiquitin modifications from Vangl proteins. This regulatory mechanism safeguards PCP‐dependent embryonic morphogenesis, while aberrant USP32‐dependent stabilization of VANGL ...

TECTB Variants Reveal Tectorial Membrane Vulnerability in Dominant Non‐Syndromic Hearing Loss
TECTB is a non‐collagenous protein of the tectorial membrane – an extracellular matrix of the cochlea. This study identifies dominant missense variants in TECTB linked to human hereditary deafness in two unrelated families. Genetically engineered mice homozygous for one of the variants are profoundly deaf, whereas heterozygous mice have normal hearing ...
