Novel RNA modification mechanism drives metabolic fatty liver disease progression
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a prevalent metabolic disorder with a complex pathogenesis. Although epitranscriptomic modifications such as N6-methyladenosine (m6A) have been implicated in NAFLD, the role of N1-methyladenosine (m1A) and its regulators is largely unexplored.

New peptide triggers domino effect to suppress bladder cancer
Recently, a research team led by Professors Dahong Zhang and Qi Zhang from the Urology Department and the Institute of Urology at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital and the Translational Medicine Center discovered that a bladder tumor-targeting polyarginine peptide, R11, can directly bind to actin, destabilize the G-actin tetramer, and trigger the cascade breakdown of the actin-plectin-vimentin/ITGβ4 axis (referred to as the "cytoskeletal domino effect").

Ferroptosis exploits unique cancer metabolic vulnerabilities to bypass traditional apoptotic evasion pathways
A new wave of scientific understanding is placing ferroptosis, a distinct form of iron-dependent cell death, at the forefront of efforts to overcome drug resistance in digestive cancers. These cancers, which include gastric, colorectal, liver, pancreatic, and esophageal malignancies, remain among the most challenging to treat due to their ability to evade standard therapies.

Small non-coding RNA molecule precisely controls vital gene expression and cellular balance
A rapidly advancing area of biomedical innovation is shining a spotlight on miR-128-3p, a small yet powerful molecule with the potential to reshape how diseases—especially cancer—are detected, monitored, and treated. This microRNA, part of a broader class of non-coding RNAs, plays a critical role in regulating gene activity and maintaining cellular homeostasis.
