Phototoxicity in live-cell fluorescence microscopy can compromise experimental outcomes, yet quantitative methods to assess its impact remain limited. Here, we present PhotoFiTT (Phototoxicity Fitness Time Trial), an integrated framework combining…
A resource to empirically establish drug exposure records directly from untargeted metabolomics data
Despite extensive efforts, extracting medication exposure information from clinical records remains challenging. To complement this approach, here we show the Global Natural Product Social Molecular Networking (GNPS) Drug Library, a…
Microbiome-derived bile acid signatures in early life and their association with islet autoimmunity
Emerging studies reveal that gut microbes can conjugate diverse amino acids to bile acids, known as microbially conjugated bile acids. However, their regulation and health effects remain unclear. Here, we…
Mitochondria-Targeted Nanomotor: H2S-Driven Cascade Therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Despite advances in combination therapies for cancer treatment, most strategies rely on modular-additive designs that lack dynamic molecular cues to achieve intrinsic synergy. Herein, a mitochondrial-targeted nanoplatform is introduced that…
Regulation of cell dynamics by rapid integrin transport through the biosynthetic pathway
Constitutive integrin endocytosis and recycling control cell movement and morphology. In contrast, the role of newly synthesized integrins delivered via the biosynthetic pathway has been largely overlooked. We used the…
JNK-regulated phosphoproteome links synaptic and metabolic pathways to mood regulation
c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) are implicated in both neurodegeneration and mood regulation, including anxiety and depressive-like behaviours. Yet the consequences of JNK inhibition in vivo on protein phosphorylation in the…
Disrupting Complement-Inflammation Positive Feedback Circuit via Oligonucleotide Hydrogel Microspheres for Reversing Joint Inflammation
The positive feedback circuit between the complement system and inflammatory immune responses maps the malignant progression of chronic joint inflammation. Prolonged dysregulation of the immune microenvironment in rheumatoid arthritis (RA)…
Vimentin in the tumor microenvironment: orchestrating invasion, immunity, and metabolism
Vimentin, a type III intermediate filament protein, has gained recognition as a multifunctional regulator within the tumor microenvironment (TME). While traditionally considered a hallmark of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), vimentin is…
Structural and functional characterization of a metagenomically derived γ-type carbonic anhydrase and its engineering into a hyperthermostable esterase
The 16S microbial community profiling of a metagenomics library from geothermal spring at Lisvori (Lesvos island, Greece) enabled the identification of a putative sequence exhibiting 95% identity to the γ-type…
Calponin isoforms define the cell-type-specific organization and dynamics of actomyosin bundles
Contractile actomyosin bundles, stress fibers, are important for cell migration, adhesion, morphogenesis, and mechanosensing. Calponin (CNN) family proteins are abundant stress fiber components, but their cellular functions and isoform-specific roles…
