Open AccessRole of protein degradation systems in colorectal cancer
Protein degradation is essential for maintaining protein homeostasis. The ubiquitin‒proteasome system (UPS) and autophagy–lysosome system are the two primary pathways responsible for protein degradation and di...

Open AccessGenome-wide identification and characterization of NAC transcription factor family members in Trifolium pratense and expression analysis under lead stress
The NAC TF family is widely involved in plant responses to various types of stress. Red clover (Trifolium pratense) is a high-quality legume, and the study of NAC genes in red clover has not been comprehensive. T...

Open AccessMulti-ancestry genome-wide meta-analysis identifies novel basal cell carcinoma loci and shared genetic effects with squamous cell carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, yet its genetic determinants are incompletely defined. We perform a European ancestry genome-wide association (GWA) meta-analysis an...

Article
Gut microbiota bridges dietary nutrients and host immunity
Dietary nutrients and the gut microbiota are increasingly recognized to cross-regulate and entrain each other, and thus affect host health and immune-mediated diseases. Here, we systematically review the curre...

Open AccessTwo zinc finger proteins, VdZFP1 and VdZFP2, interact with VdCmr1 to promote melanized microsclerotia development and stress tolerance in Verticillium dahliae
Melanin plays important roles in morphological development, survival, host–pathogen interactions and in the virulence of phytopathogenic fungi. In Verticillum dahliae, increases in melanin are recognized as marke...

Article
Open AccessColonic phosphocholine is correlated with Candida tropicalis and promotes diarrhea and pathogen clearance
Diarrhea is characterized by alterations in the gut microbiota, metabolites, and host response to these changes. Studies have focused on the role of commensal bacteria in diarrhea; however, the effect of fungi...

Open AccessGenome-wide identification and analysis of a cotton secretome reveals its role in resistance against Verticillium dahliae
The extracellular space between the cell wall and plasma membrane is a battlefield in plant-pathogen interactions. Within this space, the pathogen employs its secretome to attack the host in a variety of ways,...

Open AccessSingle-cell transcriptomics reveals intestinal cell heterogeneity and identifies Ep300 as a potential therapeutic target in mice with acute liver failure
Acute liver failure (ALF) is a severe life-threatening disease associated with the disorder of the gut-liver axis. However, the cellular characteristics of ALF in the gut and related therapeutic targets remain...

Open AccessPatient-derived zebrafish xenografts of uveal melanoma reveal ferroptosis as a drug target
Uveal melanoma (UM) has a high risk to progress to metastatic disease with a median survival of 3.9 months after metastases detection, as metastatic UM responds poorly to conventional and targeted chemotherapy...

Mitochondrial single-cell ATAC-seq for high-throughput multi-omic detection of mitochondrial genotypes and chromatin accessibility
Natural sequence variation within mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contributes to human phenotypes and may serve as natural genetic markers in human cells for clonal and lineage tracing. We recently developed a singl...

Temperature, nutrients and planktivorous fish predation interact to drive crustacean zooplankton in a large plateau lake, southwest China
Introduction of planktivorous fish or eutrophication can alter lake food webs, especially the zooplankton communities are susceptible to changes in top–down and bottom-up controls, and eventually lead to the d...

Open AccessThe CRTC-CREB axis functions as a transcriptional sensor to protect against proteotoxic stress in Drosophila
cAMP Responsible Element Binding Protein (CREB) is an evolutionarily conserved transcriptional factor that regulates cell growth, synaptic plasticity and so on. In this study, we unexpectedly found proteasome ...

Mitochondrial variant enrichment from high-throughput single-cell RNA sequencing resolves clonal populations
The combination of single-cell transcriptomics with mitochondrial DNA variant detection can be used to establish lineage relationships in primary human cells, but current methods are not scalable to interrogat...

Open AccessA polyketide synthase from Verticillium dahliae modulates melanin biosynthesis and hyphal growth to promote virulence
During the disease cycle, plant pathogenic fungi exhibit a morphological transition between hyphal growth (the phase of active infection) and the production of long-term survival structures that remain dormant...

Open AccesspiR-823 inhibits cell apoptosis via modulating mitophagy by binding to PINK1 in colorectal cancer
Mitophagy plays a vital role in the maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis and tumorigenesis. Noncoding RNA piR-823 contributes to colorectal tumorigenesis. In this study, we aim to evaluate piR-823-mediated...

Open AccessGenome-wide association study of actinic keratosis identifies new susceptibility loci implicated in pigmentation and immune regulation pathways
Actinic keratosis (AK) is a common precancerous cutaneous neoplasm that arises on chronically sun-exposed skin. AK susceptibility has a moderate genetic component, and although a few susceptibility loci have b...
