Complete male-to-female sex reversal in XY mice lacking the miR-17~92 cluster

Nature Communications
Mammalian sex determination is controlled by antagonistic gene cascades operating in embryonic undifferentiated gonads. The expression of the Y-linked gene SRY is sufficient to trigger the testicular pathway, whereas its absence in XX embryos leads to ...

Biomaterial Physical Cues as Gene Regulators for Cellular Agriculture

Advanced Genetics, Volume 7, Issue 2, June 2026.
This review elucidates how biomaterial physical cues—ranging from matrix stiffness to remote electromagnetic fields—serve as extrinsic regulators of gene expression in cellular agriculture. By identifying central mechanotransduction pathways that bridge physical inputs to genetic remodeling, the authors propose the “Material Genome” concept: a ...

The neural crest‐associated gene ERRFI1 is involved in melanoma progression and resistance toward targeted therapy

Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 5, Page 1185-1201, May 2026.
ERRFI1, a neural crest (NC)‐associated gene, was upregulated in melanoma and negatively correlated with the expression of melanocytic differentiation markers and the susceptibility of melanoma cells toward BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi). Knocking down ERRFI1 significantly increased the sensitivity of melanoma cells to BRAFi.

Oncogenic driver and therapeutic target: Prolactin signalling axis in retroperitoneal sarcoma

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Retroperitoneal sarcoma cells can secrete prolactin into the bloodstream, inducing hyperprolactinaemia, which subsequently triggers metabolic reprogramming, such as glucose metabolism. SOX4 can function as a transcription factor that facilitates PRL transcription.

Extracellular Vesicles in Osteoarthritis: From Pathogenic Mediators to Engineered Therapeutics in a Precision Medicine Roadmap

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) remains without disease‐modifying sssstherapies, in part due to biological heterogeneity and a hostile joint microenvironment that undermines one‐size‐fits‐all interventions. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a dual role in OA pathophysiology: endogenous EVs disseminate pro‐inflammatory and catabolic signals that propagate ...

DNA methylation and epigenomic profiling post‐mortem of human remain analogs (Sus scrofa) in southern Ontario, Canada

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 71, Issue 3, Page 1185-1194, May 2026.
Abstract Understanding the dynamics of DNA methylation (DNAm) post‐mortem could support forensic applications, particularly the estimation of the post‐mortem interval (PMI), age, and sex of remains. In this study, we investigated DNAm changes in pig carcasses (Sus scrofa) as analogs for human decomposition, while measuring the progression of decay ...

Opioids in breast cancer: Between analgesia and modulation of tumour progression

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 9, Page 1727-1746, May 2026.
Preclinical investigations consistently demonstrate that activation of μ‐opioid receptors and δ‐opioid receptors promote proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, epithelial‐mesenchymal transition, acquisition of cancer stem cell phenotypes, and chemoresistance.

Beyond the chaos: How architecture structures tumour biology

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 9, Page 2519-2540, May 2026.
Tissue architecture shapes tumour initiation and progression through multiple interconnected layers continuously remodelled over time. This review outlines how physical forces, biochemical cues, cellular niches and systemic influences contribute to tumour evolution.
