Fibril Structure of Desiccation‐Protective Tardigrade Protein CAHS‐8

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We present the atomic structure of the fibril formed by an intrinsically disordered protein that has been shown to be responsible for remarkable environmental stress in tardigrades. X‐ray crystallography reveals a unique mechanism of fibril assembly whereby a single helix forms a stable, antiparallel coiled‐coil dimer, which then assembles into a ...

TRIM40 Drives Pathological Cardiac Hypertrophy and Heart Failure via Ubiquitination of PKN2

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies the E3 ligase TRIM40 as a key driver of pathological cardiac hypertrophy. TRIM40 binds PKN2 via its B‐box domain and, through its C29‐dependent catalytic activity, mediates K63‐linked ubiquitination of PKN2. This modification enhances PKN2 phosphorylation at Ser815, thereby driving hypertrophy.

Cholesterol Promotes Lung Adenocarcinoma Brain Metastasis by Stabilizing EGFR Protein to Drive EMT, Metabolic Reprogramming, and Premetastatic Niche Formation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cholesterol is revealed as a multitasking fuel for lung adenocarcinoma brain metastasis: it locks EGFR at the membrane to sustain AKT/NF‐κB–driven glycolysis and EMT, loosens the blood–brain barrier by promoting Claudin‐5 loss, and rewires microglia through IL‐4R lipid‐raft–JAK1/STAT6 signaling.

CircGLIS3 promotes gastric cancer progression by regulating the miR-1343-3p/PGK1 pathway and inhibiting vimentin phosphorylation

Journal of Translational Medicine
Background Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been proved to play crucial roles in the development of various cancers. However, the molecular mechanism of circGLIS3 involved in gastric cancer (GC) tumorigenesis has not been elucidated.

circNR3C2 promotes chondrogenic differentiation and cartilage repair of human adipose‐derived stem cells via the hsa‐miR‐647/SOX9 pathway

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The hypothesis diagram illustrates the function and mechanism of circNR3C2: circNR3C2 overexpression can up‐regulate COL2, Aggrecan and SOX9 expression, and regulate chondrogenic differentiation of hADSCs by targeting hsa‐miR‐647. Abstract Background Human adipose‐derived stem cells (hADSCs) are seed cells with application prospects in cartilage repair.

Recent advances in animal models for pathological scar research: A comprehensive review of experimental approaches and translational relevance

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Animal models remain indispensable in the study of pathological scars, each offering unique advantages and constraints. Their integration with in vitro and ex vivo systems is key to developing personalized, clinically translatable antifibrotic therapies. Abstract Pathological scarring, manifested in the form of hypertrophic scars (HTS) and keloid scars

Characterization of inflammatory pseudotumors in a large animal model of liver cancer

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
CT images in arterial and portal venous phases of liver lesions in Oncopig. Abstract Background The development of relevant and robust large animal models of hepatocellular carcinoma is needed to test new therapeutic strategies for this disease. Transgenic approaches hold promise in addressing this complex problem. One such model, the Oncopig, has been
