Raptin, a sleep-induced hypothalamic hormone, suppresses appetite and obesity
Sleep deficiency is associated with obesity, but the mechanisms underlying this connection remain unclear. Here, we identify a sleep-inducible hypo…
Targeting Caveolin-1 for enhanced rotator cuff repair: findings from single-cell RNA sequencing
Rotator cuff injury (RCI), a prevalent cause of shoulder pain and disability, often leads to significant functional impairments due to adipocyte in…
Protein kinase A regulates ferroptosis by controlling GPX4 m6A modification through phosphorylation of ALKBH5
GPX4-dependent ferroptosis has emerged as a therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment. Here, we demonstrated that protein kinase A (PKA) participat…
Collaborative orchestration of BH3-only proteins governs Bak/Bax-dependent hepatocyte apoptosis under antiapoptotic protein-deficiency in mice
The fine-tuned balance between anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins, such as Bcl-xL and Mcl-1, and pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins, like Bak an…
The SETDB1-PC4-UPF1 post-transcriptional machinery controls periodic degradation of CENPF mRNA and maintains mitotic progression
Numerous genes exhibit periodic oscillations in mRNA expression, essential for orderly cell division. Mitosis-related mRNAs fluctuate cyclically fr…
KDM3A controls postnatal hippocampal neurogenesis via dual regulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway
Hippocampal neurogenesis, the generation of new neurons in the dentate gyrus (DG) of mammalian hippocampus, is essential for cognitive and emotiona…
c-Kit+ cells that intercalate with crypt Lgr5+ cells are distinctively multipotent in colonic epithelium renewal and repair
The colonic crypts are principally composed by Lgr5+ stem cells and deep crypt secretory (DCS) cells. c-Kit-expressing cells mark DCS ce…
