Open AccessNeutrophil-derived migrasomes are an essential part of the coagulation system
Migrasomes are organelles that are generated by migrating cells. Here we report the key role of neutrophil-derived migrasomes in haemostasis. We found that a large number of neutrophil-derived migrasomes exist...

Full-length GSDME mediates pyroptosis independent from cleavage
Gasdermin (GSDM) family proteins, known as the executors of pyroptosis, undergo protease-mediated cleavage before inducing pyroptosis. We here discovered a form of pyroptosis mediated by full-length (FL) GSDME...

VAMP2 chaperones α-synuclein in synaptic vesicle co-condensates
α-Synuclein (α-Syn) aggregation is closely associated with Parkinson’s disease neuropathology. Physiologically, α-Syn promotes synaptic vesicle (SV) clustering and soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attach...

Open AccessLoss of Kmt2c or Kmt2d drives brain metastasis via KDM6A-dependent upregulation of MMP3
KMT2C and KMT2D, encoding histone H3 lysine 4 methyltransferases, are among the most commonly mutated genes in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, how these mutations may shape epigenomic and transcrip...

A modified method for isolating sinoatrial node myocytes from adult mice
Sinoatrial node (SAN) is the pacemaker of the heart in charge of initiating spontaneous electronical activity and controlling heart rate. Myocytes from SAN can generate spontaneous rhythmic action potentials, ...

Integrative analysis of ultra-deep RNA-seq reveals alternative promoter usage as a mechanism of activating oncogenic programmes during prostate cancer progression
Transcription factor (TF) proteins regulate gene activity by binding to regulatory regions, most importantly at gene promoters. Many genes have alternative promoters (APs) bound by distinct TFs. The role of di...

SenNet recommendations for detecting senescent cells in different tissues
Once considered a tissue culture-specific phenomenon, cellular senescence has now been linked to various biological processes with both beneficial and detrimental roles in humans, rodents and other species. Mu...

Map** putative enhancers in mouse oocytes and early embryos reveals TCF3/12 as key folliculogenesis regulators
Dynamic epigenomic reprogramming occurs during mammalian oocyte maturation and early development. However, the underlying transcription circuitry remains poorly characterized. By map** cis-regulatory elements u...

Polyglutamine-mediated ribotoxicity disrupts proteostasis and stress responses in Huntington’s disease
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by expansion of a CAG trinucleotide repeat in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene, encoding a homopolymeric polyglutamine (polyQ) tract. Although mutant HTT ...

Article
TFAM is an autophagy receptor that limits inflammation by binding to cytoplasmic mitochondrial DNA
When cells are stressed, DNA from energy-producing mitochondria can leak out and drive inflammatory immune responses if not cleared. Cells employ a quality control system called autophagy to specifically degra...

Cedrol alleviates postmenopausal osteoporosis in rats through inhibiting the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway
Pharmacological studies have shown that Cedrol (CE) exhibits extensive biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and analgesic. Moreover, it can inhibit the NF-κB pathway and the expression of various...

HSP70 protects PC12 cells against TBHP-induced apoptosis and oxidative stress by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway
HSP70 exhibits neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic properties, which are crucial in preventing spinal cord injury (SCI) induced by oxidative stress and apoptosis. In this study, we assessed the po...

LPCAT1-mediated membrane phospholipid remodelling promotes ferroptosis evasion and tumour growth
The mechanisms underlying the dynamic remodelling of cellular membrane phospholipids to prevent phospholipid peroxidation-induced membrane damage and evade ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic form of cell death drive...

A palmitoylation–depalmitoylation relay spatiotemporally controls GSDMD activation in pyroptosis
Gasdermin D (GSDMD) is the executor of pyroptosis, which is important for host defence against pathogen infection. Following activation, caspase-mediated cleavage of GSDMD releases an amino-terminal fragment (...

Roles and regulation of tRNA-derived small RNAs in animals
A growing class of small RNAs, known as tRNA-derived RNAs (tdRs), tRNA-derived small RNAs or tRNA-derived fragments, have long been considered mere intermediates of tRNA degradation. These small RNAs have rece...

Open AccessCD32 captures committed haemogenic endothelial cells during human embryonic development
During embryonic development, blood cells emerge from specialized endothelial cells, named haemogenic endothelial cells (HECs). As HECs are rare and only transiently found in early develo** embryos, it remai...

JAML inhibits colorectal carcinogenesis by modulating the tumor immune microenvironment
It is necessary to explore new targets for the treatment of colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) according to the tumor microenvironment. The expression levels of JAML and CXADR were analyzed by bioinformatics analysis...
