Open AccessInhibition of PKC-δ retards kidney fibrosis via inhibiting cGAS-STING signaling pathway in mice
Kidney fibrosis is considered to be the ultimate aggregation pathway of chronic kidney disease (CKD), but its underlying mechanism remains elusive. Protein kinase C-delta (PKC-δ) plays critical roles in the co...

Open AccessALKBH4 impedes 5-FU Sensitivity through suppressing GSDME induced pyroptosis in gastric cancer
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is the primary treatment option for advanced gastric cancer. However, the current challenge lies in the absence of validated biomarkers to accurately predict the efficacy and sensitivity ...

Open AccessTMC6 functions as a GPCR-like receptor to sense noxious heat via Gαq signaling
Thermosensation is vital for the survival, propagation, and adaption of all organisms, but its mechanism is not fully understood yet. Here, we find that TMC6, a membrane protein of unknown function, is highly ...

Open AccessNicotine-induced activation of cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 5 subunit mediates the malignant behaviours of laryngeal squamous epithelial cells by interacting with RABL6
Nicotine, a crucial constituent of tobacco smoke, can bind to and activate nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), thereby regulating various biological functions. However, the specific mechanisms through ...

The effects of co-invasion by three Asteraceae invasive alien species on plant taxonomic and functional diversity in herbaceous ruderal communities in southern Jiangsu, China
Invasive alien species can affect plant taxonomic and functional diversity. Multiple invasive alien species can co-invade the same plant community. However, the effects of such co-invasion on plant taxonomic a...

The cGAS-Ku80 complex regulates the balance between two end joining subpathways
As the major DNA sensor that activates the STING-TBK1 signaling cascade, cGAS is mainly present in the cytosol. A number of recent reports have indicated that cGAS also plays critical roles in the nucleus. Our...

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...

Open AccessThree-dimensional chromatin reorganization regulates B cell development during ageing
The contribution of three-dimensional genome organization to physiological ageing is not well known. Here we show that large-scale chromatin reorganization distinguishes young and old bone marrow progenitor (p...

Open AccessIDH1 mutation produces R-2-hydroxyglutarate (R-2HG) and induces mir-182-5p expression to regulate cell cycle and tumor formation in glioma
Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2), are present in most gliomas. IDH1 mutation is an important prognostic marker in glioma. However, its regulatory mechanism in glioma remains incomplet...

Open AccessU3 snoRNA inter-regulates with DDX21 in the perichromosomal region to control mitosis
U3 snoRNA is essential for ribosome biogenesis during interphase. Upon mitotic onset, the nucleolus disassembles and U3 snoRNA relocates to the perichromosomal region (PR) to be considered as a chromosome pass...
