Mechanical stiffness orchestrates distinct regulation of MRTFs and YAP/TAZ transcriptional cofactors in hepatocytes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
MRTFs and YAP/TAZ proteins, or mechanosensitive transcriptional cofactors (MRTcoF), regulate common genes associated with cellular contractility and immune cell infiltration. Their differential regulation in response to stiffness is linked to changes in hepatocyte's aspect ratio. MRTFB does not undergo nuclear translocation under these conditions. This

Inhibiting Autophagy by Chemicals During SCAPs Osteodifferentiation Elicits Disorganized Mineralization, While the Knock-Out of Atg5/7 Genes Leads to Cell Adaptation

Cells
SCAPs (Stem Cells from Apical Papilla), derived from the apex of forming wisdom teeth, extracted from teenagers for orthodontic reasons, belong to the MSCs (Mesenchymal Stromal Cells) family.

Nanoemulsion Structural Design in Co-Encapsulation of Hybrid Multifunctional Agents: Influence of the Smart PLGA Polymers on the Nanosystem-Enhanced Delivery and Electro-Photodynamic Treatment

Pharmaceutics, 2019
In the present study, we examined properties of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA)-based nanocarriers (NCs) with various functional or “smart” properties, i.e., coated with PLGA, polyethylene glycolated PLGA (PEG-PLGA), or folic acid ...

The emerging role of the Hippo signaling pathway in interorgan crosstalk

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Hippo signaling functions as a central hub of interorgan communication. Systemic cues from the gut, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle—including hormones, metabolites, and microbial signals—regulate YAP/TAZ activity in a tissue‐ and context‐dependent manner.

Light-Triggerable Liposomes for Enhanced Endolysosomal Escape and Gene Silencing in PC12 Cells

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2017
Liposomes are an effective gene and/or drug delivery system, widely used in biomedical applications including gene therapy and chemotherapy. Here, we designed a photo-responsive liposome (lipVP) loaded with a photosensitizer verteporfin (VP).

Drug screen identifies verteporfin as a regulator of lipid metabolism in macrophage foam cells

Scientific Reports, 2023
Arterial macrophage foam cells are filled with cholesterol ester (CE) stored in cytosolic lipid droplets (LDs). Foam cells are central players in progression of atherosclerosis as regulators of lipid metabolism and inflammation, two major driving forces ...

Targeting YAP1‐Mediated Tubular Cell Senescence to Attenuate Maladaptive Repair and Fibrotic Transition After Acute Kidney Injury

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 13, 15 July 2026.
YAP1 mediates tubular cell senescence and drives maladaptive repair following AKI, promoting the AKI to CKD transition. Single‐cell RNA‐seq reveals sustained YAP1 overexpression, fibroblast activation, and pro‐fibrotic tubular cell shift. Senolytic agents or verteporfin (YAP1/TEAD1 inhibitor) suppress YAP1 activity, reduce renal senescence, alleviate ...

Sustainable Synthesis of 4,7‐Dihydro‐4,7‐ethano‐2H‐isoindoles—Key Building Blocks to Benzoporphyrins

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 23, 16 June 2026.
A facile and sustainable route to isoindole derivatives—key benzoporphyrin precursors—brings high‐ and low‐symmetry benzoporphyrins closer to practical application. ABSTRACT Benzoporphyrins, π extended porphyrin analogues, exhibit remarkable potential for optoelectronic and theragnostic applications, yet have remained largely confined to fundamental ...
