Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic organelles central to cellular energy homeostasis and stress adaptation. Maintaining LD balance is critical for cell function, yet the mechanisms governing selective LD degradation remain unclear. Here, we reveal a pathway promoting efficient vacuolar sequestering...
Kidney injury initiates epithelial dedifferentiation and myofibroblast activation during the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Herein, we found that the expression of DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) was significantly increased in the kidney tissues of both CKD...
B7H3 (CD276), a key immune checkpoint molecule that is overexpressed in tumors, plays a central role in cancer progression, making it a highly promising and specific therapeutic target. Here, we discovered that the cellular metabolite palmitic acid contributes to the development of an immunosuppr...
