TECTB Variants Reveal Tectorial Membrane Vulnerability in Dominant Non‐Syndromic Hearing Loss

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TECTB is a non‐collagenous protein of the tectorial membrane – an extracellular matrix of the cochlea. This study identifies dominant missense variants in TECTB linked to human hereditary deafness in two unrelated families. Genetically engineered mice homozygous for one of the variants are profoundly deaf, whereas heterozygous mice have normal hearing ...

X Chromosome Inactivation in Opioid Addicted Women

Basic and Clinical Neuroscience, 2015
Introduction: X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a process during which one of the two X chromosomes in female human is silenced leading to equal gene expression with males who have only one X chromosome.

Single-Cell RNA-Seq Reveals Cellular Heterogeneity of Pluripotency Transition and X Chromosome Dynamics during Early Mouse Development

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Following implantation, the epiblast (EPI) cells transit from the naive to primed pluripotency, accompanied by dynamic changes in X chromosome activity in females. To investigate the molecular attributes of this process, we performed single-cell

TGFBI Maintains Fibrocartilage Homeostasis by Restraining O‐GlcNAcylation to Inactivate and Destabilize ADAMTS16 in Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TGFBI deficiency elevates O‐GlcNAcylation, promoting the transcriptional activation of ADAMTS16 and OGT‐mediated post‐translational modification of ADAMTS16 at Ser1170. This leads to its stabilization and accumulation, driving chondrocyte metabolic disorders and senescent phenotypes, ultimately resulting in fibrocartilage dysfunction and TMJOA ...

Phase Separation of SF3B1 Serves as a Critical Post‐Transcriptional Regulator During Early Mouse Embryogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Phase separation of SF3B1 acts as a key regulatory mechanism for dynamic alternative splicing throughout early mouse embryogenesis. Its absence triggers extensive splicing errors, which induce persistent DNA damage, defective cell cycle progression, and failed cell lineage commitment, and ultimately hinder the normal growth and development of ...

Differential Water Networks Guide Selectivity Optimization of a Cell Active BPTF Inhibitor in Neuroblastoma

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
BZ2 is a second‐generation Bromodomain PHD finger Transcription Factor (BPTF) inhibitor with improved selectivity over Class I and Class IV BRD off‐targets identified in our previously reported inhibitor, BZ1. Structural analyses reveal that water network engagement is key to this selectivity.

Glucocorticoid Receptor Signaling in Myeloid Cells Orchestrates Inflammation Resolution and Muscle Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Glucocorticoids (GC) are widely used to reduce inflammation. We show that the glucocorticoid receptor in myeloid cells regulates macrophage cell cycle and genome integrity during muscle regeneration. We demonstrate that dexamethasone administration during the early inflammatory phase delays muscle repair by increasing macrophage proliferation ...

Photoactivated Platinum Complexes: Targeting Membrane Proteins and Organelles for Precision Cancer Therapy

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
This review highlights an emerging anticancer approach integrating platinum agents into photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT) systems, further augmented by cancer cell membrane‐ and organelle‐targeting. By directing photoactivated platinum complexes from nontargeted distribution to cancer cells or defined subcellular sites ...

CRISPR and Gene Augmentation Rescue Trabecular Meshwork Dysfunction in iPSC Models of Lowe Syndrome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By modeling Lowe syndrome using patient‐derived iPSCs, this study establishes a human disease model that faithfully recapitulates OCRL deficiency‐associated ciliary and cytoskeletal defects. The model enables evaluation of both mutation‐agnostic DNA augmentation and CRISPR‐mediated mutation correction strategies, both of which restore OCRL function and
