Neddylation is a highly conserved post-translational modification that plays critical roles in various cellular processes through the modulation of cullins and non-cullin substrates. While neddylation is known to be essential for embryonic development, tumor growth, and organogenesis of different tissues, its role in cardiogenesis remains unexplored. Here, we investigated the role of neddylation in early cardiac development by deleting the gene encoding a regulatory subunit of the NEDD8-specific E1 activating enzyme, Nae1, globally and in a heart-specific fashion via Nkx2-5.

This review goes beyond traditional approaches in cardio-oncology, highlighting often-neglected factors impacting patient care. Social determinants, environment, health care access, and gut microbiome significantly influence patient outcomes. Powerful tools like multi-omics and wearable technologies offer deeper insights into real-world experiences.

The ongoing obesity epidemic has raised awareness of the complex physiology of adipose tissue. Abnormal adipocyte differentiation results in the development of systemic metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance and diabetes. The conjugation of NEDD8 (neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally downregulated 8) to target protein, termed neddylation, has been shown to mediate adipogenesis.

Article Synopsis
  • - A woman with Maffucci syndrome (MS) experienced a type B aortic dissection after childbirth, which resulted in a rupture of a thoracoabdominal aneurysm.
  • - Genetic testing for inherited thoracic aortic disease was performed but showed no abnormalities.
  • - It is suggested that her aortic issues might be linked to MS, indicating that monitoring for aortic diseases in patients with MS could be beneficial.
