How do #muscles repair after #injury and why does it fail in #disease and #aging? Submit your research on stem #cells, #inflammation, and metabolic #signaling in cardiac and skeletal muscle regeneration Submissions now open (Deadline: Jan 15, 2027) https://ow.ly/Omn550ZivZP
#Prions changed how we think about #biology: #proteins can misfold, spread, and reshape disease 🧠 Prion research matters, not just for rare #disorders, but for common neurodegenerative #diseases like #Alzheimer’s and #Parkinson’s https://ow.ly/oHiE50ZivYC
How sensitive are #meta-analyses to study inclusion and #heterogeneity? 🤔 Any changes in #study inclusion can shift #results, but interpretation depends on more than #statistics: including study #context, predefined #methods, and biological #plausibility https://ow.ly/rVvT50ZivVm

How do #cannabis derived terpenes affect nociception? In C. elegans, four terpenes were found to reduce heat-evoked pain responses 🧫 #proteomics reveals distinct signaling and stress-response pathways for each #compound https://ow.ly/PzHl50ZivS1
What makes #somatic #cells easier to reprogram? New study profiles fibroblast cell lines and shows that metabolic state, #DNA methylation, and histone marks define a “somatic-to-pluripotent-like” continuum that may predict reprogramming success https://ow.ly/qiaQ50ZivM1
How does PPP2R2B affect #breast #cancer progression? New study shows PPP2R2B activity can: • reduce #proliferation and #invasion • increase #apoptosis • enhance #ferroptosis via lipid ROS and #iron regulation A multi-layer tumor suppressor mechanism 🧬
CBP and p300 are key #epigenetic regulators often dysregulated in #cancer 🩺 New work shows CBP/p300 are upregulated in HCC, and blocking their activity triggers autophagy-driven #cell #death, partly through suppression of EPHA2. 🔬 https://ow.ly/ZZG150ZivKT
#Caspases don’t just execute #apoptosis Emerging evidence shows they also regulate lipid metabolism, redox stress, and metabolic dysfunction across #aging and #disease #Metabolism #CellBiology https://ow.ly/7rbO50ZivJP
One protein, many names OLA1 has been implicated in #cancer, oxidative stress, #mitochondrial #biology, #heart #disease, and neuronal differentiation; with growing evidence pointing to a central role in translation regulation #CellBiology #TranslationalResearch

Classic #anticancer #drug meets a natural polyphenol 💊 Researchers investigated combining Actinomycin D with resveratrol and found enhanced #p53 activation, increased expression of p21/PUMA/GDF15, and stronger anti #cancer effects than either agent alone https://ow.ly/tpI050ZivJr
How do #breast #cancer cells maintain EGFR and GLUT1 activity? New study identifies O-GlcNAcylation as a key regulator of #protein stability, linking nutrient sensing, #phosphorylation, #ubiquitination, and metabolic reprogramming in #BreastCancer https://ow.ly/iIYg50ZivIT
Triple-negative #breast #cancer remains challenging to treat 🩺 New study identifies APT1/LYPLA1-dependent de-S-acylation as a potential therapeutic option, revealing subtype-specific regulation of protein acylation and cell-cycle control #BreastCancer https://ow.ly/xRvt50ZivHo
