Cigarette tar triggers EC‐derived EVs carrying TDP43, which binds VDAC1 to boost MAMs, mitochondrial Ca2+ overload, and METs formation in macrophages, accelerating smoking‐related AS progression, while retinoic acid binds TDP43 to block this pathogenic cascade.

The findings establish a critical role for WFS1 in human male fertility. Mechanistically, WFS1 interacts with PIAS4 to promote the SUMOylation of key spermatogenesis‐associated proteins, which in turn competitively inhibits their K48‐linked ubiquitin‐mediated degradation during spermatogenesis.

This review systematically elaborates on the mechanisms underlying physiological regulation and pathological dysregulation of biomolecular phase separation. It also summarizes advances in phase‑separation‑targeted therapeutic strategies and the design of functional biomaterials inspired by this process.

Synovial macrophages in osteoarthritis upregulate LSP1, which directly binds and inhibits SOD1, triggering a redox imbalance that activates both NOX and mitochondrial ROS pathways. This cascade drives the release of macrophage extracellular traps (METs), causing chondrocyte damage and disease progression.

SEC Mediates m6A Deposition and Transcription Pause Release to Drive Cell Identity Transition
The SEC promotes cell identity transitions by facilitating transcription pause release at key identity‐associated genes, including Klf4 and Myc during iPSC reprogramming and Nes and Tubb3 during ESC‐to‐neuroectodermal differentiation. During early iPSC reprogramming, this function additionally involves cooperation with METTL3‐associated m6A regulation.
