Post-translational modifications (PTMs) alter protein structure, function, and localization and play a pivotal role in physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Many PTMs arise from endogenous metabolic intermediates and serve as sensors for metabolic feedback to maintain cell growth and homeostasis. A key feature to PTMs is their biochemical genesis, which can result from either non-enzymatic adduction (nPTMs) or through enzyme-catalyzed reactions (ePTMs). The abundance and site-specificity of PTMs are determined by dedicated classes of enzymes that add (writers) or remove (erasers) the chemical addition. In this review we will highlight the biochemical genesis and regulation of a few of the 700+ PTMs that have been identified.

Background And Aims: Bulevirtide (BLV) 2 mg/day is EMA approved for treatment of compensated chronic hepatitis due to Delta virus (HDV) infection, however real-life data in large cohorts of patients with cirrhosis are lacking.
Methods: Consecutive HDV-infected patients with cirrhosis starting BLV 2 mg/day since September 2019 were included in a European retrospective multicenter real-life study (SAVE-D). Patient characteristics before and during BLV treatment were collected.

The small GTPase Ras is among the most frequently mutated genes and its mutations often drive oncogenesis across various cancers. While the role of NRas phosphorylation at S89 in the context of a Q61R mutation in melanoma genesis remains controversial, the impact of S89 phosphorylation on NRas function has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we employed the S89D phosphorylation-mimetic mutation and demonstrated that the S89D mutation alone activated all Ras isoforms by increasing the GTP-bound population, thereby promoting ERK phosphorylation and cell proliferation.

DR is a complex complication of DM with multiple biochemical pathways implicated in its genesis and progression. Circulating OS and mitochondrial function biomarkers represent potential candidates in the DR staging system. We conducted a comparative cross-sectional study comparing the OS biomarkers: TAC, GR, NOS, CARB, and hydroperoxydes, as well as mitochondrial function biomarkers: ATP synthase and ATPase activity in healthy volunteers, DM w/o DR, Moderate and Severe NPDR, and PDR.

Background: Nodal only recurrence post radical prostatectomy (RP) is increasingly recognised in the PSMA scan era. Management is controversial with a curative approach usually incorporating prostate bed and nodal irradiation (PB + NRT) in combination with long-term hormonal therapy. It is unknown whether omitting prostate-bed irradiation (PBRT) is safe in a subgroup of these patients.

Article Synopsis
- - Diabetic neuropathy, the most common complication of diabetes, significantly reduces patients' quality of life due to neuropathic pain, which arises from various biochemical signaling processes related to diabetes.
- - The main issues include distal symmetric polyneuropathy and focal neuropathy, with unclear exact causes; however, factors like nerve fiber loss and specific signaling pathway alterations play key roles in the development of neuropathic pain.
- - The review discusses both conventional and emerging treatments for diabetic neuropathy, including phytochemicals, while emphasizing the need for further research into the underlying mechanisms and side effects to improve patient care.
