Telomeres cap the ends of chromosomes and are crucial for genome stability. The p53 protein (TP53) is a vital tumor suppressor, activating the transcription of numerous genes in response to cell stress. We reported that direct binding of p53 at human subtelomeres corresponds with local transcription activation and enhanced telomere stability in the presence of DNA damage.

Unlabelled: X-linked Lymphoproliferative Syndromes (XLP), which arise from mutations in the or genes, are characterized by the inability to control Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) infection. While primary EBV infection triggers severe diseases in each, lymphomas occur at high rates with XLP-1 but not with XLP-2. Why XLP-2 patients are apparently protected from EBV-driven lymphomagenesis, in contrast to all other described congenital conditions that result in heightened susceptibility to EBV, remains a key open question.

Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated and RAD3-related (ATR) and its partner ATR-interacting protein (ATRIP) function as a critical proximal sensor and transducer of the DNA Damage Response (DDR). Several ATR substrates, including p53 and CHK1, are crucial for coordination of cell cycle phase transitions, transcription, and DNA repair when cells sustain DNA damage.

Background: Circular RNAs play an important role in regulating lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Bioinformatics analysis identified circ_0015278 as differentially expressed in LUAD. However, the biological mechanism of circ_0015278 in LUAD has not been fully clarified, especially in ferroptosis.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease worldwide, and podocyte ferroptosis plays a crucial role in its pathogenesis. Hirsutine (HS) reduces blood glucose levels and improve insulin resistance in diabetic mice, suggesting its potential use in diabetes treatment. Here, we established a db/db mouse model of DKD and administered HS for 8 weeks.
