Feng P et. al. (February 2024). Enhancer-mediated FOXO3 expression promotes MSC adipogenic differentiation by activating autophagy Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis. 1870(2):166975.
This study investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into adipocytes (fat cells). They identified enhancers, regulatory elements in the genome, that control the expression of the FOXO3 gene, which, in turn, plays a key role in promoting MSC adipogenic differentiation by activating autophagy, a cellular process involved in recycling cellular components. The study highlights the intricate regulatory network involving FOXO3, adipogenic transcription factors, and autophagy, providing valuable insights into the molecular pathways governing stem cell differentiation.

Cao F et. al. (January 2024). METTL14 contributes to acute lung injury by stabilizing NLRP3 expression in an IGF2BP2-dependent manner Cell Death Dis. 15(1):43.
Researchers explored the involvement of the protein METTL14 in acute lung injury (ALI) and its more severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). They discovered that METTL14-mediated m6A methylation , contributes to the development of ALI by stabilizing a key component called NLRP3. This stabilization is facilitated by another protein, IGF2BP2, revealing potential markers and targets for the treatment of ALI and ARDS.

Ulschmid CM et. al. (January 2024). Disruption of DNA methylation-mediated cranial neural crest proliferation and differentiation causes orofacial clefts in mice Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 121(3):e2317668121.
The study investigates the role of DNA methylation in orofacial development. The research revealed that targeted disruption of DNA methylation during the initial stages of cranial neural crest cell (cNCC) development resulted in orofacial clefts, highlighting the critical period during which this epigenetic process plays a crucial role in cNCC biology. These findings deepen our understanding and offer insights into potential environmental factors influencing the risk of orofacial clefts.

Li H et. al. (January 2024). Discrete prefrontal neuronal circuits determine repeated stress-induced behavioral phenotypes in male mice Neuron.
The article investigates how chronic stress, a significant risk factor for psychiatric disorders like depression, leads to diverse behavioral responses in male mice. Through a subtyping-based approach, the study categorizes stressed mice into four subtypes based on patterns of social interaction deficits and anhedonia, core symptoms of psychiatric disorders. The research identifies three prefrontal cortical neuronal projections that regulate these stress-induced behavioral phenotypes, highlighting specific circuits and molecular mechanisms that contribute to individual variations in stress responses.

Yoon H et. al. (December 2023). Hydrogen Peroxide Inhibits Hepatitis C Virus Replication by Downregulating Hepatitis C Virus Core Levels through E6-Associated Protein-Mediated Proteasomal Degradation Cells. 13(1)
Researchers studying the impact of oxidative stress on Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection discovered that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) effectively inhibits HCV replication by downregulating HCV Core levels. This inhibition is orchestrated through a mechanism involving p53 upregulation, DNA methyltransferase downregulation, and the activation of E6-associated protein (E6AP), leading to the proteasomal degradation of HCV Core.
