A biallelically active embryonic enhancer dictates GNAS imprinting through allele-specific conformations by Yorihiro Iwasaki, Monica Reyes, Harald Jüppner, Murat Bastepe

“…Here, we show that the STX16-ICR forms different chromatin conformations with each GNAS parental allele and enhances two GNAS promoters in human embryonic stem cells. When these cells differentiate toward proximal renal tubule cells, STX16-ICR loses its effect, accompanied by a transition to a somatic cell-specific GNAS imprinting status. …”

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Oxidases and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease by Vittoria Cammisotto, Emanuele Valeriani, Pasquale Pignatelli, Francesco Violi

“…NOX acts both in hepatocytes and in non-parenchymal hepatic cells, contributing to hepatocyte lipotoxicity, impaired hepatic microcirculation, hepatic stellate, and mesenchymal stem cells activation and proliferation. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge on the involvement of oxidative stress in the MASLD–MASH transition, focusing on the role of NOX isoforms, and to suggest targeting NOX as a therapeutic approach in MASLD.…”

Citrate: a key signalling molecule and therapeutic target for bone remodeling disorder by Qichang Liu, Yuchuan Xue, Junzhe Guo, Lin Tao, Yue Zhu

“…Osteoclast-mediated bone resorption releases citrate from bone mineral salts, which is subsequently released as an energy source to activate the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells. Finally, the differentiated osteoblasts secrete into the bone matrix and participate in bone mineral salts formation. …”
