The human gut microbiome across the life course

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

A novel site comes into sight

open access: yeseLife, 2013
Oxysterols modulate the Hedgehog signalling pathway by binding a novel site on the membrane protein Smoothened, which may offer new options for the treatment of cancers linked to this pathway.

Structural basis for Smoothened regulation by its extracellular domains

open access: yesNature, 2016
Developmental signals of the Hedgehog (Hh) and Wnt families are transduced across the membrane by Frizzled-class G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) composed of both a heptahelical transmembrane domain (TMD) and an extracellular cysteine-rich domain (CRD)

Grking the Smoothened signal

open access: yes, 2018
The essential Hedgehog signaling component GRK2 functions at the level of and downstream of Smoothened in both flies and vertebrates (Li et al . and Pusapati et al ., in 6 February 2018 issue).

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Thymosin beta-4 regulates activation of hepatic stellate cells via hedgehog signaling

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
The molecular mechanisms of thymosin beta-4 (TB4) involved in regulating hepatic stellate cell (HSC) functions remain unclear. Therefore, we hypothesize that TB4 influences HSC activation through hedgehog (Hh) pathway.

Cholesterol accessibility at the ciliary membrane controls hedgehog signaling

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Previously we proposed that transmission of the hedgehog signal across the plasma membrane by Smoothened is triggered by its interaction with cholesterol (Luchetti et al., 2016).

Cellular cholesterol directly activates Smoothened in Hedgehog signaling

open access: yesCell, 2016
Summary In vertebrates, sterols are necessary for Hedgehog signaling, a pathway critical in embryogenesis and cancer. Sterols activate the membrane protein Smoothened by binding its extracellular, cysteine-rich domain (CRD).

Network divergence analysis identifies adaptive gene modules and two orthogonal vulnerability axes in pancreatic cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumors contain diverse cellular states whose behavior is shaped by context‐dependent gene coordination. By comparing gene–gene relationships across biological contexts, we identify adaptive transcriptional modules that reorganize into distinct vulnerability axes.

Ubiquitin links smoothened to intraflagellar transport to regulate Hedgehog signaling

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2019
In the absence of hedgehog ligand, patched-1 (Ptch1) localizes to cilia and prevents ciliary accumulation and activation of smoothened (Smo). Upon ligand binding, Ptch1 is removed from cilia, Smo is derepressed and accumulates in cilia where it activates
