Article Abstract

Dishevelled (DVL) proteins precisely control Wnt signaling pathways with many effectors. While substantial research has advanced our understanding of DVL's role in Wnt pathways, key questions regarding its regulatory mechanisms and interactions remain unresolved. Herein, we present the recent advances and perspectives on how DVL regulates signaling. The experimentally determined conserved domain structures of DVL in conjunction with AlphaFold-predicted structures are used to understand the DVL's role in Wnt signaling regulation. We also summarize the role of DVL in various diseases and provide insights into further directions for research on the DVL-mediated signaling mechanisms. These findings underscore the importance of DVL as a pharmaceutical target or biological marker in diseases, offering exciting potential for future biomedical applications.

Purpose: Lung cancer is currently the most common malignant tumor worldwide and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, posing a serious threat to human health. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous non-coding small RNA molecules that regulate gene expression and are involved in various biological processes associated with lung cancer. Understanding the mechanisms of lung carcinogenesis and detecting disease biomarkers may enable early diagnosis of lung cancer.

Individuals with progressive liver failure risk dying without liver transplantation. However, our understanding of why regenerative responses are disrupted in failing livers is limited. Here, we perform multiomic profiling of healthy and diseased human livers using bulk and single-nucleus RNA- and ATAC-seq.

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are effective for treating various orthopedic conditions and are widely used clinically. However, their therapeutic efficacy is limited in osteoporosis patients. Iron overload represents a key risk factor for osteoporosis, inducing ferroptosis and suppressing the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs).

Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, highlighting the urgent need for more effective and targeted therapeutic strategies. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), known for its favorable safety profile and broad pharmacological effects, offers promising candidates for cancer treatment. Salvianolic acid F (SAF), a key bioactive compound derived from , has demonstrated antitumor potential, but its role and underlying mechanisms in lung cancer remain inadequately characterized.

Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) syndrome, a newly defined systemic disorder, is characterized by the pathological interplay among diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recent studies have identified chronic inflammation not only as a central mediator in the pathological progression of CKM syndrome but also as a pivotal molecular hub that drives coordinated damage across multiple organ systems. Mechanistic investigations have revealed that aberrant activation of signaling pathways such as NF-κB, Wnt, PI3K-AKT, JAK-STAT, and PPAR constitutes a complex inflammatory regulatory network.
