Talin-1 (TLN1), encoded by the TLN1 gene, is a focal adhesion-related protein capable of binding various proteins in the cytoskeleton. It is also expressed at high levels in many cancers wherein it influences cellular adhesion and the activation of integrins. TLN1 is also capable of promoting tumor cell invasivity, proliferation, and metastatic progression, in addition to being a relevant biomarker and therapeutic target in certain cancers. The present review offers a comprehensive overview of current knowledge regarding TLN1 with respect to its structural properties, functions, and role in tumor development.

The integrin family of extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion receptors plays a central role in platelet function, including adhesion and aggregation. In resting platelets, integrins exist in a low-affinity state for their ligands, and are activated upon ligand binding to the extracellular domain or binding of cytoplasmic proteins such as talin to the intracellular β-tail. Talin function is regulated through autoinhibition, which reduces its integrin-activating function.

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a common clinical syndrome caused by ventricular dysfunction and one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Previous studies have suggested that anoikis is relevant to HF. This study aimed to identify hub genes associated with anoikis that may offer therapeutic targets for HF.

Background: Podocytes injury drives proteinuria in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) have demonstrated therapeutic potential in kidney diseases. However, the effects of hUCMSCs on podocyte injury and the underlying mechanisms in DKD remain unexplored.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) induces severe neurological dysfunction through direct mass cell damage and secondary inflammatory molecular cascades. These cascades-initiated by damage-recruit immune cells and amplify cytokine release, exacerbating neuronal death and tissue destruction. We initially report that R-loop accumulation (three-stranded RNA-DNA hybrids with displaced ssDNA) in neural injury contexts drives neurodegeneration via neuroinflammation.

Type II polyketides (T2PKs) exhibit a wide range of structural diversity and potent pharmacological activities. However, the optimal chassis for the synthesis of T2PKs remains elusive, impeding the effective mining and production of these compounds. In this study, we identify Streptomyces aureofaciens J1-022, a high-yield producer of chlortetracycline, as a promising chassis for T2PKs synthesis.
