The Role of the RS1-NEDD4-YAP1 Axis Orchestrates Epithelial-Macrophage Interplay in COPD

[Respiratory Research] Researchers integrated single-cell transcriptomics, conditional gene knockout mouse models, organoid culture, multiplex immunofluorescence validation, and flow cytometry to investigate the role of the RS1 gene in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Alveolus-on-a-Chip: A Novel Tool for Modeling Lung Transplant Cold Storage Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury

[Transplantation] Investigators reported a novel cold storage ischemia/reperfusion injury model that incorporates physiological flow, stretch, and cell-cell interactions.

BRD4 Aggravates Acute Lung Injury by Inducing Ferroptosis in Alveolar Epithelial Cells

[Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology] Scientists investigated the mechanism by which BRD4 accelerates acute lung injury by promoting ferroptosis mediated by ANP32B/H3K27ac/MYC/HOXB8/BACH1 in alveolar epithelial cells.

An HDAC4-Specific PROTAC Degrader Achieves Radiation Sensitization by Enhancing Ferroptosis in Lung Cancer

[Nature Communications] The authors showed that HDAC4 promotes radiation resistance in lung cancer by inhibiting ferroptosis. Through a CRISPR screen in patient-derived organoids, they identified HDAC4 as a key mediator.

Multifactorial Sheltering in Peristromal Niches Shapes In Vivo Responses of Lung Cancers to Targeted Therapies

[Nature Communications] Using spatial histological inferences from ALK + NSCLC models, researchers showed that peristromal niches protect tumor cells from elimination, enabling in vivo persistence.

SNORD50A/B Disassemble ASC-1 Complex to Silence NF-κB and Boost PD-1 Blockade in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

[NPJ Precision Oncology] Researchers observed that SNORD50A/B were frequently deleted in lung adenocarcinomas, and this molecular event was strongly linked to poor patient survival.

Silencing of NUP62 Overcomes Osimertinib Resistance via Ubiquitination of Survivin in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells

[British Journal of Cancer] Scientists identified nucleoporin 62 (NUP62) knockdown as a potential strategy to overcome osimertinib resistance in NSCLC and investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Lipid Metabolic Reprogramming in Lung Cancer: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets in the Tumor Microenvironment

[International Journal of Cancer] The authors synthesize preclinical and clinical evidence to map the interconnected lipid metabolic networks spanning tumor, immune, and stromal compartments.

Verastem Oncology Announces US FDA Fast Track Designation for VS-7375, an Oral and Potential Best-in-Class Investigational KRAS G12D (ON/OFF) Inhibitor for the Treatment of...

[Verastem Oncology] Verastem Oncology announced that the FDA granted Fast Track Designation to VS-7375, an investigational oral KRAS G12D (ON/OFF) inhibitor, for previously treated patients with KRAS G12D-mutated advanced or metastatic NSCLC.

Smart Microneedles Regulate Reactive Oxygen Species and Deliver Matrix Metalloproteinases for Pathological Scar Treatment

[ACS Nano] To modulate the oxidative microenvironment and remodel the ECM, a smart microneedle capable of regulating reactive oxygen species and delivering matrix metalloproteinase functions was developed.

Artificial Self-Mineralized MSCs’ Niche Mimics Dynamic Variations of ECM Modulus during Osteogenesis for Rapid Bone Regeneration

[Biomaterials] The development of artificial scaffolds capable of providing dynamically evolving mineralized niches for mesenchymal stem cells remains challenging, and the underlying osteogenic mechanisms are still poorly understood. A hierarchical graphene-doped polymethyl methacrylate scaffold was fabricated via vapor-induced phase separation.

Mesangial Cell-Derived Extracellular Matrix Protein 1 Is Essential for Maintaining Mesangial Matrix Homeostasis and Glomerular Architecture

[Journal of the American Society of Nephrology] Researchers investigated the role of mesangial cell–derived ECM protein 1 in regulating mesangial matrix homeostasis and glomerular structure in mice.
