Full androgen deprivation (FAD) induces paracrine cholesterol in prostate cancer that drives the polarization of cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and subsequent elevated matrix stiffness. Matrix stiffness in turn potentiates tumor cell survival under FAD pressure via dual mechanotransductive activation of the IRE1α‐XBP1s stress‐response axis ...

This study uncovers that quercetin naturally targets mitochondria. By coordinating quercetin with Fe3+, we engineer an ultrasmall cascade nanozyme (MCN) with superoxide dismutase‐catalase activities. MCN crosses the damaged blood–brain barrier, scavenges mitochondrial ROS, prevents mitochondrial DNA leakage, and blocks the cGAS‐STING pathway, thereby ...

Fibrotic liver stiffness activates hepatic stellate cells through Piezo1‐dependent calcium influx and ER stress, promoting EV‐associated GMFG release. Delivered GMFG engages TNS4 in pancreatic cancer cells, triggering FAK/AKT signaling, adhesion, and fatty acid synthesis.

Tumor‐derived GDF15 drives cancer cachexia and suppresses antitumor immunity. Here, de novo designed minibinders targeting the GDF15–GFRAL interface achieve picomolar affinity and potent pathway blockade. The minibinders alleviate cachexia, restore CD8+ T‐cell infiltration, enhance anti–PD‐1 responsiveness, and provide survival benefits across tumor ...

Estrogen therapy induces an unfolded protein response to drive cell death in ER+ breast cancer
Estrogens have been shown to elicit anticancer effects against estrogen receptor α (ER)‐positive breast cancer. We sought to determine the mechanism underlying the therapeutic response.

A biomimetic hydrogel (HPC@Gel) was developed for traumatic brain injury repair by combining oxygen‐carrying hemoglobin nanoparticles and anti‐inflammatory carbon quantum dots within a brain‐like matrix. The system alleviated hypoxia, reduced harmful neuroimmune signaling, protected neurons, supported neural regeneration, and improved neurological and ...

Employing a digital single‐molecule activity tracker (dSMAT), this research demonstrates that high‐photon‐flux irradiation drives progressive oxidative scarring in polymerases. Unlike simple thermal denaturation, real‐time kinetic tracking dynamically visualizes enzymes degrading into multiple impaired subpopulations.

Conjugated poly(imide dioxime)‐based microspheres establish a radiometal coordination‐driven conformational interlocked network with ultra‐high radiostability. This platform enables low‐temperature, multi‐radionuclide labeling for SPECT/PET/MRI imaging and radionuclide therapy. Mechanistic insights from EXAFS and DFT reveal enhanced stability, while in

The lipid side of unfolded protein response
Although our current knowledge of the molecular crosstalk between the ER stress, the unfolded protein response (UPR), and lipid homeostasis remains limited, there is increasing evidence that dysregulation of either protein or lipid homeostasis profoundly affects the other.

This study reveals a novel GC therapy targeting cholesterol homeostasis. Inhibiting the SCAP sterol‐sensing domain causes lethal ER stress via cholesterol accumulation, paradoxically forcing continuous synthesis that triggers ferroptosis. The findings link sterol sensing, metabolic dysregulation, and ferroptosis, establishing an anti‐cancer paradigm ...
