Single‐cell RNA sequencing identifies MMP11⁺ CAFs as pro‐angiogenic cells accumulating during bladder cancer progression. These cells promote angiogenesis by regulating ESM1⁺ tip endothelial cells and recruiting SPP1⁺ macrophages. Tumor‐derived BMP2 promotes their activation.

Mitochondrial Regulation of CD8⁺ T Cells: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Modulation
This article comprehensively explores the pivotal role of mitochondrial function in CD8⁺ T cell immunotherapy. It highlights how mitochondrial dynamics regulate T cell activation, differentiation, and persistence, and how mitochondrial dysfunction leads to immune exhaustion and impaired antitumor/antiviral responses.

This study develops a human engineered heart tissue‐derived model of diabetic cardiomyopathy that accurately replicates the dynamic changes in the structural, contractile, and electrophysiological properties of the myocardium. Furthermore, this model is used to confirm the direct protective effects of empagliflozin on the heart through an SGLT2 off ...

The present study shows that macrophage WEE1 drives NF‐κB activation and inflammatory atherosclerosis by directly phosphorylating p65 at S536. This finding illustrates a macrophage‐specific WEE1‐p65 axis in regulating inflammatory atherosclerosis and points out new directions to broaden the clinical applications for WEE1 inhibitors in atherosclerosis ...

LIMK1 as a Novel Kinase of β‐Catenin Promotes Esophageal Cancer Metastasis by Cooperating With CDK5
Li et al. innovatively map the kinase‐substrate network in esophageal cancer metastasis. Their study demonstrates that LIM domain kinase 1 (LIMK1) and Cyclin‐dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) synergistically increase the phosphorylation of β‐catenin, thereby activating the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway to promote esophageal cancer metastasis.
