Hyperpolarization Modulation of the T‐Type hCav3.2 Channel by Human Synenkephalin [1–53], a Shrew Neurotoxin Analogue without Paralytic Effects

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Human synenkephalin [1–53] (hSYN), an analogue peptide of shrew saliva neurotoxins, was synthesized and its structural characteristics studied. Synthetic hSYN potently activated the T‐type voltage‐gated Ca channel hCav3.2 but did not paralyze mealworms. These findings offer new insight into neurological disorder treatment and evolutionary mechanisms of

Of Snakes, Snails, and Surrogates [PDF]

Neuron, 2001
The high-resolution structure of a synthetic 13-residue peptide in a tight complex with alpha-bungarotoxin conforms to the beta hairpin structure of a closely related segment in the ACh binding protein and reveals how the ACh binding protein and the homologous nicotinic ACh receptors bind alpha-bungarotoxin at their ACh binding sites.

HIC1 suppresses Tumor Progression and Enhances CD8+ T Cells Infiltration Through Promoting GSDMD‐induced Pyroptosis in Gastric Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
These findings elucidate the innovative role of HIC1 as a transcriptional activator in GC, driving the initiation of pyroptosis and enhancing CD8+ T cell infiltration, which has certain novelty and creative significance. Collectively, targeting HIC1 can present an appealing immunotherapeutic strategy to improve outcomes in GC patients.

Invertebrate Grazing on Live Turtlegrass (Thalassia testudinum): A Common Interaction That May Facilitate Fungal Growth

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
In coastal wetlands and tropical reefs, snails can regulate foundation species by feeding on marsh grasses and hard corals. In many cases, their impacts are amplified because they facilitate microbial infection in grazer-induced wounds.

BAG2 Inhibits Cervical Cancer Progression by Modulating Type I Interferon Signaling through Stabilizing STING

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on IP‐MS analysis, BAG2 is confirmed to be essential for ubiquitination and protein homeostasis regulation of STING in cervical cancer. BAG2 inhibits the ubiquitination and degradation of STING by forming a complex with STUB1, thereby activating the type I IFN signaling pathway and inhibiting the development of cervical cancer.

Fn14 Controls the SIRT2‐Mediated Deacetylation of Slug to Inhibit the Metastasis of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
It is reported that Fn14 inhibited EOC metastasis by regulating Slug‐mediated EMT. Furthermore, Fn14 altered the subcellular localization of SIRT2 by interacting with SIRT2, leading to reduced SIRT2 shuttling into the nucleus and subsequently promoting the acetylated degradation of Slug.

NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF CHICKEN OFFAL AS REPLACEMENT FOR LOCAL FISH MEAL IN GROWING SNAILS [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2009
A total of ninety six growing snails of mean weight 91.23±2.4g were used to determine the effects of partial or total replacement of local fish meal, a source of protein but expensive to a less expensive, alternative source, chicken offal in the diet of ...

LIMK1 as a Novel Kinase of β‐Catenin Promotes Esophageal Cancer Metastasis by Cooperating With CDK5

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Li et al. innovatively map the kinase‐substrate network in esophageal cancer metastasis. Their study demonstrates that LIM domain kinase 1 (LIMK1) and Cyclin‐dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) synergistically increase the phosphorylation of β‐catenin, thereby activating the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway to promote esophageal cancer metastasis.

Neutrophil‐Mimicking Nanomedicine Eliminates Tumor Intracellular Bacteria and Enhances Chemotherapy on Liver Metastasis of Colorectal Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) enrichment has been identified in colorectal cancer and its liver metastases. This study develops neutrophil‐mimicking nanoparticles with multiple targeting capabilities encapsulating metronidazole and oxaliplatin for antibacterial and anticancer purposes. This approach reverses the epithelial mesenchymal transition process
