Scaffold-mediated phosphatase regulation in EGFR family signaling
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family serves as an archetypal model of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling and plays essential roles in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer. Although receptor phosphorylation has been e...

Engineering of pH-regenerable anti-insulin single chain variable fragments (scFvs) for continuous insulin monitoring
To realize the continuous monitoring of insulin, the development of a regenerable engineered antibody is expected, whose binding constant is modulated by the mild in situ stimulation for future in vivo application. In this study, we aime...

NGS-Guided Discovery of Cross-Reactive TfR1 VHH Antibodies with Distinct Brain Localization Profiles
Antibody delivery across the blood–brain barrier (BBB) remains challenging. We combined phage display with next-generation sequencing (NGS)-guided clone sequence-diverse selection to identify transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1)-binding VHH ant...

MIF family cytokines as common mediators of UV-induced photocarcinogenesis and photoaging
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major environmental factor responsible for photocarcinogenesis and photoaging. Although these conditions have traditionally been regarded as distinct consequences of chronic UV exposure, accumulating evide...

Microenvironmental extracellular matrix remodelling driven by GATA2 and GATA3 deficiency impairs lymphatic recanalization
GATA2 is a transcription factor that is essential for vascular and lymphatic development. GATA2 deficiency causes lymphatic malformations and lymphedema. Delayed lymphatic recanalization after popliteal lymph node removal in Gata2 hetero...

Intrinsic endonucleolytic activity of snake venom phosphodiesterase
Snake venoms contain enzymes whose biochemical activities cannot be inferred reliably from sequence or proteomic detection alone. Snake venom phosphodiesterase (svPDE), an extracellular ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase-fa...

Replication protein A prevents unregulated priming and Rad51 loading on single-stranded DNA in nuclear extracts of Xenopus eggs
In eukaryotes, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) generated during DNA replication, recombination and repair is rapidly bound and protected by the major ssDNA-binding protein replication protein A (RPA). RPA not only stabilizes ssDNA but also a...

Target-site selection by transcription factors: roles of DNA, chromatin and cofactor-mediated regulation
Transcription factors (TFs) are sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins that regulate gene-expression programmes and cell fate. The ability of a defined combination of four TFs to reprogramme differentiated cells into induced pluripotent ...

Biochemical characterization of a homocysteine S -methyltransferase from Leuconostoc suionicum
We identified and characterized a homocysteine S-methyltransferase (HMT) from the lactic acid bacterium Leuconostoc suionicum LT-38, representing the first characterization of an HMT from lactic acid bacteria. The enzyme exhibited a kcat...

Revitalizing science—Japan’s new strategy for research and innovation
The Japanese government adopted the ‘Seventh Science, Technology and Innovation Basic Plan’ (the Seventh Basic Plan) on March 27, 2026. Covering the period from fiscal years 2026–2030, the Seventh Basic Plan was formulated by the Council...
