Lethal multiple pterygium syndrome (LMPS) is a rare disease with genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity and is inherited in an autosomal recessive (AR) pattern. Here, we have presented clinically significant results describing two novel mutations of gene: NM_000751.2: c.1006C>T p.(Arg336Ter) and NM_000751.2:c.973_975delGTG p.(Val325del), and measurement of the facial angle for determining micrognathia by prenatal diagnosis in the first trimester of pregnancy for a Lethal multiple pterygium syndrome case. In conclusion, this report complements the spectrum of genetic variants and phenotype of Lethal multiple pterygium syndrome and provides reliable recommendation for the counseling of future pregnancies in families with the disease.

Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death characterized by lethal lipid peroxidation and implicated in various human diseases. Despite intensive research, clinically applicable ferroptosis inhibitors remain unavailable. In this study, we identify formoterol, a β-adrenergic agonist widely used to treat asthma and COPD, as a potent and selective ferroptosis inhibitor through scaffold-based screening of FDA-approved drugs.

Background: Ovarian cancer is a prevalent and highly lethal gynaecological cancer. Among its various subtypes, epithelial ovarian cancer predominates, comprising of ten distinct subtypes and contributing significantly to the overall burden of ovarian malignancies. Concurrently, endometriosis, characterised by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue within the pelvis, affects a substantial number of women of reproductive age.

YES1 (Yamaguchi sarcoma virus homolog 1), a non-receptor tyrosine kinase of the SRC family (SFK), has been abnormally amplified or mutated in several types of solid tumors. The alteration of YES1 impacted multiple biological processes, including promoting tumor progression and metastasis, especially, producing cancer therapy resistance via bypass pathways. Thus, YES1 can serve as a druggable target to overcome drug resistance and suppress tumor growth.

Lipids are essential metabolites that play critical roles in multiple cellular pathways. Like many primary metabolites, mutations that disrupt lipid synthesis can be lethal. Proteins involved in lipid synthesis, trafficking, and modification, are targets for therapeutic intervention in infectious disease and metabolic disorders.

The accumulation of senescent cells (SNCs) contributes to tissue dysfunction and age-related diseases, creating an urgent need for effective senolytic strategies. We identified a metabolic vulnerability in SNCs characterized by marked downregulation of asparagine synthetase (ASNS), rendering them uniquely dependent on exogenous asparagine (Asn). This vulnerability was exploited through combined treatment with L-asparaginase (ASNase) and autophagy inhibitors, which synergistically deplete Asn via complementary mechanisms: ASNase degrades extracellular Asn pools, while autophagy inhibition blocks intracellular protein recycling as an alternative Asn source.
