Open AccessEpigenetic addition of m5C to HBV transcripts promotes viral replication and evasion of innate antiviral responses
Eukaryotic five-methylcytosine (m5C) is an important regulator of viral RNA splicing, stability, and translation. However, its role in HBV replication remains largely unknown. In this study, functional m5C sites ...

Article
Open AccessActivation of GPER1 in macrophages ameliorates UUO-induced renal fibrosis
Numerous studies have proven the critical role of macrophages in the renal fibrosis process. Notably, G Protein-coupled Estrogen Receptor 1 (GPER1), a novel estrogen receptor, has been shown to play a ubiquito...

Article
Open AccessNuclear isoform of RAPH1 interacts with FOXQ1 to promote aggressiveness and radioresistance in breast cancer
Radioresistance limits the efficacy of radiotherapy against breast cancer, especially the most lethal subtype of breast cancer, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) ...
