Recent breakthroughs in tumor biology have redefined the tumor microenvironment as a dynamic ecosystem in which the nervous system has emerged as a pivotal regulator of oncogenesis. In addition to their classical developmental roles, neural‒tumor interactions orchestrate a sophisticated network that drives cancer initiation, stemness maintenance, metabolic reprogramming, and therapeutic evasion. This crosstalk operates through multimodal mechanisms, including paracrine signaling, electrophysiological interactions, and structural innervation guided by axon-derived guidance molecules.

Synthetic biology often employs heterologous enzymatic reactions to reprogram cell metabolism or otherwise introduce novel functions. However, precise control of a particular metabolic pathway can be difficult to achieve because cofactors are shared with endogenous enzymes from a common pool. Recently, the use of noncanonical cofactors (NCCs) has emerged as a promising approach to bypass this problem by isolating desired reactions without the need for a physical barrier.

Waterlogging, increasingly intensified by climate change, limits oxygen availability in the root zone, disrupting carbon and sugar metabolism, leading to energy deficits and oxidative stress that ultimately impair plant growth and productivity. Melatonin, a versatile signaling molecule, mitigates waterlogging-induced stress by enhancing anaerobic respiration and fermentation under oxygen-deprived conditions, upregulating stress-responsive genes, and restoring energy balance through optimized sugar metabolism. It also reduces oxidative damage by strengthening the antioxidant defense system and further improves stress tolerance by modulating phytohormone signaling and influencing rhizosphere microbiome dynamics.

Human cord blood (CB) myeloid progenitor reprogramming to a high-fidelity human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) state can be achieved using non-integrating episomal vectors and stromal signals. These conventional, primed CB-hiPSC lines can subsequently be chemically reverted with high efficiencies to a blastomere-like Tankyrase/PARP Inhibitor-Regulated Naive Stem Cell (TIRN-SC) state with functional totipotency. PARP-regulated TIRN-SCs are human stem cells with high epigenetic plasticity, stable epigenomic imprints, and have greater differentiation potency than conventional, lineage-primed hiPSCs.

Craniofacial muscles are essential for a variety of functions, including fine facial expressions. Severe injuries to these muscles often lead to more devastating consequences than limb muscle injuries, resulting in the loss of critical functions such as mastication and eyelid closure, as well as facial aesthetic impairment. Therefore, the development of targeted repair strategies for craniofacial muscle injuries is crucial.
