Genome‐wide CRISPR/Cas9 based screening identified RELA as a key tumor suppressor in TP53R249S‐mutant HCC. Its loss promotes tumorigenesis and metastasis via DVL1‐mediated Wnt/β‐catenin activation, while its agonist betulinic acid suppresses tumor progression.

PRDM16 Reduces Cellular Senescence by Upregulating GSTM1
Cellular senescence drives aging and aging‐related organ disorders, yet PRDM16's role remains unexplored. This work uncovers that PRDM16 decreases significantly in aged organs, while its loss accelerates cellular senescence and aging‐related organ injury.

The Pathogenic Roles of Local Vitamin D Metabolism Defect in Valve Inflammation and Calcification
This study identifies the valvular interstitial cell populations responsible for valvular calcification induced by hyperphosphatemia and likely aging, uncovers local vitamin D metabolism defect‐induced inflammation as a critical pathogenic factor of calcific aortic valve disease, and highlights active vitamin D and ERK inhibitor as potential preventive

Navigating Transition Metal‐Dependent Cell Death: Mechanisms, Crosstalk, and Future Directions
Transition metals trigger distinct regulated cell death pathways beyond traditional apoptosis. This review examines ferroptosis (iron‐catalyzed lipid peroxidation) and cuproptosis (copper‐induced mitochondrial proteotoxicity), while exploring hypothetical “cobaltosis” as a novel pathway.

Single‐cell transcriptomic profiling of ulcerative colitis (UC) tissues identified downregulation of GFER in intestinal epithelial cells. Mechanistically, GFER interacts with PCBP1 to help maintain intracellular iron homeostasis and may also reduce lipid peroxidation by activating the PGC‐1α/PPARγ signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting ferroptosis ...
