Important Research

 
 
 
 
Potassium (Poly)acrylate-Enhanced Expansion Microscopy (KA-ExM): Bridging Optical and Electron Microscopy for High-Resolution Biological Imaging

 
This study introduces a novel approach to high-resolution biological imaging by combining potassium polyacrylate-based hydrogels with Bessel lightsheet microscopy. The expansion microscopy (ExM) method achieves a 40-fold linear expansion, corresponding to a volumetric enlargement of 64,000 times.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The critical role of the variable domain in driving proteotoxicity and aggregation in full-length light chains

 
Light chain (AL) amyloidosis is the most common systemic amyloid disease characterized by abnormal accumulation of amyloid fibrils derived from immunoglobulin light chains (LCs). Both full-length (FL) LCs and their isolated variable (VL) and constant (CL) domains contribute to amyloid deposits in multiple organs, with the VL domain predominantly forming the fibril core.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Green Synthesis of Tetrahydropyrazino[2,1-a:5,4-a′]diisoquinolines as SARS-CoV-2 Entry Inhibitors

 
A class of tetrahydropyrazino[2,1-a:5,4-a′]diisoquinoline derivatives were synthesized under environmentally friendly conditions using water as the solvent.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Gut colonization of Bacteroides plebeius suppresses colitis-associated colon cancer development

 
Colon cancer development may be initiated by multiple factors, including chronic inflammation, genetic disposition, and gut dysbiosis. The loss of beneficial bacteria and increased abundance of detrimental microbes exacerbates disease progression.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Unusual free trisaccharides in caprine colostrum discovered by logically derived sequence tandem mass spectrometry

 
Free oligosaccharides in human milk have many biological functions for infant health. The reducing end of most human milk oligosaccharides is lactose, and caprine milk was reported to contain oligosaccharides structurally similar to those present in human milk.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Comprehensive Modular Synthesis of Ganglioside Glycans and Evaluation of their Binding Affinities to Siglec-7 and Siglec-9

 
In the present work, bacterial glycosyltransferases are utilized to construct ganglioside glycans in a convergent approach via a sugar‒nucleotide regeneration system and one-pot multienzyme reactions.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
ECM29/proteasome-mediated self-antigen generation by CNS-resident neuroglia promotes regulatory T cell activation

 
Proteasomes generate antigenic peptides presented on cell surfaces—a process that, in neuroglia, is highly responsive to external stimuli. However, the function of the self-antigens presented by CNS parenchymal cells remains unclear. Here, we report that the fidelity of neuroglial self-antigens is crucial to suppress encephalitogenic T cell responses by elevating regulatory T (Treg) cell populations.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Molecular switch of the dendrite-to-spine transport of TDP-43/FMRP-bound neuronal mRNAs and its impairment in ASD

 
This study highlights the importance of posttranslational modifications of RBPs, particularly FMRP, as a molecular switch that regulates the transport of specific mRNAs in response to synaptic activity.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Gut microbiota modulation in cardiac cell therapy with immunosuppression in a nonhuman primate ischemia/reperfusion model

 
Gut microbiota affect transplantation outcomes; however, the influence of immunosuppression and cell therapy on the gut microbiota in cardiovascular care remains unexplored.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Targeted internalization and activation of glycosidic switch liposomes by a biological macromolecule mPEG×EphA2 increases therapeutic efficacy against lung cancer

 
Glycosidic switch liposome (GSL) technology efficiently encapsulates and stabilizes potent anticancer drugs in liposomes using a reversible glucuronide ester.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
N-Cadherin promotes cardiac regeneration by potentiating pro-mitotic β-Catenin signaling in cardiomyocytes

 
Adult human hearts exhibit limited regenerative capacity. Post-injury cardiomyocyte (CM) loss can lead to myocardial dysfunction and failure.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Regulation of PD-L1 glycosylation and advances in cancer immunotherapy

 
Protein glycosylation plays a versatile role in regulating homeostasis, such as cell migration, protein sorting, and the immune response.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A role for proprioceptors in sngception

 
Proprioceptors are primary mechanosensory neurons to monitor the status of muscle contraction and/or body position (1).
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Innovative cyclic peptide disrupts IL-17RB–MLK4 interaction for targeted pancreatic cancer therapy

 
The IL-17B/IL-17RB oncogenic signaling axis promotes pancreatic cancer progression through interaction with mixed-lineage kinase 4 (MLK4).
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Systemic Glucose Homeostasis Requires Pancreatic but Not Neuronal ATP-sensitive Potassium Channels

 
The adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels, composed of Kir6.2 and sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1) subunits, are essential for glucose homeostasis.
