The sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 mediates the atheroprotective effect of eicosapentaenoic acid
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs) have been associated with potential cardiovascular benefits, partly attributed to their bioactive metabolites. However, the underlying mechanisms responsible for...

Open AccessKetogenic diet-produced β-hydroxybutyric acid accumulates brain GABA and increases GABA/glutamate ratio to inhibit epilepsy
Ketogenic diet (KD) alleviates refractory epilepsy and reduces seizures in children. However, the metabolic/cell biologic mechanisms by which the KD exerts its antiepileptic efficacy remain elusive. Herein, we...

Open AccessZbtb16 increases susceptibility of atrial fibrillation in type 2 diabetic mice via Txnip-Trx2 signaling
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia, and recent epidemiological studies suggested type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an independent risk factor for the development of AF...

PARylated PDHE1α generates acetyl-CoA for local chromatin acetylation and DNA damage repair
Chromatin relaxation is a prerequisite for the DNA repair machinery to access double-strand breaks (DSBs). Local histones around the DSBs then undergo prompt changes in acetylation status, but how the large de...

Open AccessSilencing circSERPINE2 restrains mesenchymal stem cell senescence via the YBX3/PCNA/p21 axis
Increasing evidence indicates that circular RNAs (circRNAs) accumulate in aging tissues and nonproliferating cells due to their high stability. However, whether upregulation of circRNA expression mediates stem...

Open AccessMacrophage-mediated trogocytosis contributes to destroying human schistosomes in a non-susceptible rodent host, Microtus fortis
Schistosoma parasites, causing schistosomiasis, exhibit typical host specificity in host preference. Many mammals, including humans, are susceptible to infection, while the widely distributed rodent, Microtus for...

Functional screening and rational design of compounds targeting GPR132 to treat diabetes
Chronic inflammation due to islet-residing macrophages plays key roles in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. By systematically profiling intra-islet lipid–transmembrane receptor signalling in islet-r...

Article
Phenolic acid-induced phase separation and translation inhibition mediate plant interspecific competition
Phenolic acids (PAs) secreted by donor plants suppress the growth of their susceptible plant neighbours. However, how structurally diverse ensembles of PAs are perceived by plants to mediate interspecific comp...

Open AccessExosomal PGAM1 promotes prostate cancer angiogenesis and metastasis by interacting with ACTG1
Tumor-derived exosomes and their contents promote cancer metastasis. Phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (PGAM1) is involved in various cancer-related processes. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism of exosomal PGAM1 ...

Open AccessGATA zinc finger protein p66β promotes breast cancer cell migration by acting as a co-activator of Snail
The transcriptional repressor Snail induces EMT during embryonic development and tumor metastasis. Growing evidence indicates that Snail functions as a trans-activator to induce gene expression; however, the u...

Open AccessA PPIX-binding probe facilitates discovery of PPIX-induced cell death modulation by peroxiredoxin
While heme synthesis requires the formation of a potentially lethal intermediate, protoporphyrin IX (PPIX), surprisingly little is known about the mechanism of its toxicity, aside from its phototoxicity. The c...

Open AccessA live-cell image-based machine learning strategy for reducing variability in PSC differentiation systems
The differentiation of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) into diverse functional cell types provides a promising solution to support drug discovery, disease modeling, and regenerative medicine. However, functional...

Open AccessLarge libraries of single-chain trimer peptide-MHCs enable antigen-specific CD8+ T cell discovery and analysis
The discovery and characterization of antigen-specific CD8+ T cell clonotypes typically involves the labor-intensive synthesis and construction of peptide-MHC tetramers. We adapt single-chain trimer (SCT) technol...

Open AccessThe mitochondrial protein TIMM44 is required for angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo
The mitochondrial integrity and function in endothelial cells are essential for angiogenesis. TIMM44 (translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 44) is essential for integrity and function of mitochondria. He...

Open AccessTPX2 enhances the transcription factor activation of PXR and enhances the resistance of hepatocellular carcinoma cells to antitumor drugs
The pregnane X receptor (PXR) is an important regulator of hepatocellular carcinoma cellular resistance to antitumor drugs. Activation of PXR was modulated by the co-regulators. The target protein for the Xeno...
