Chemotherapeutic agents, such as paclitaxel (PTX), induce neuroplastic changes and alter gene expression in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), which may be associated with chemotherapy-induced pain and negative emotions. Notably, DNA methylation undergoes adaptive changes in neurological disorders, emerging as a promising target for neuromodulation. In this study, systemic administration of PTX leads to a decrease in the expression of the DNA methyltransferase DNMT3a, while concurrently upregulating the expression of Gabrb1 mRNA and its encoded GABARβ1 protein in the medial PFC (mPFC) of male mice.

In white adipose tissue, disturbed creatine metabolism through reduced creatine kinase B (CKB) transcription contributes to obesity-related inflammation. However, the mechanisms regulating CKB expression in human white adipocytes remain unclear. By screening conditions perturbed in obesity, we identified endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress as a key suppressor of CKB transcription across multiple cell types.

However, the large size of CRISPR-based epigenome editors poses a challenge to their broad use in biomedical research and as future therapies. Here, we present Robust ENveloped Delivery of Epigenome-editor Ribonucleoproteins (RENDER) for transiently delivering programmable epigenetic repressors (CRISPRi, DNMT3A-3L-dCas9, CRISPRoff) and activator (TET1-dCas9) as ribonucleoprotein complexes into human cells to modulate gene expression.

Without these tumor suppressors to reduce proliferation, tumor cells proliferate unchecked. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a tyrosine kinase which is often upregulated in various tumors and promotes cell proliferation and migration.

Introduction: Diabetic osteoporosis (DOP) is an insidious complication of diabetes with limited therapeutic options. DOP is pathologically associated with various types of regulated cell death, but the precise role of ferroptosis in the process remains poorly understood. Asperosaponin VI (AVI), known for its clinical efficacy in treating bone fractures and osteoporosis, may exert its osteoprotective effects through mechanisms involving ferroptosis, however this has not been established.
