MEK inhibitor cobimetinib increases calreticulin and induces immune modulation in TNBC - Ling-Ming Tseng; Ka-Yi Lau; Ji-Lin Chen; Pei-Yi Chu; Chun-Teng Huang; Wan-Lun Wang; Yuan-Ya Chang; Jiun-I Lai; Chi-Cheng Huang; Ming-Shen Dai; Chun-Yu Liu (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2026)
Immunogenic cell death (ICD) can activate immune cells and potentiate the response to immunotherapy. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway regulates the immune response and mediates T-cell receptor signaling. Activation of the MAPK signaling pathway decreases the levels of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and is associated with worse survival. Here, we investigated the potential of the MEK inhibitor cobimetinib as an ICD inducer in TNBC. We demonstrated that cobimetinib elicited hallmarks of ICD, including elevated levels of damage-associated molecular patterns. Ectopic ERK expression attenuated cobimetinib-induced CRT. Cobimetinib also evoked caspase-8 activation with increased Bax and Bak expression, while caspase inhibitor suppressed cobimetinib-induced CRT expression and apoptosis. In immunocompetent (BALB/c) mice bearing 4T1 tumors, cobimetinib exhibited stronger tumor growth inhibition than in immunodeficient (nude) mice, suggesting an immune-dependent antitumor effect. Furthermore, cobimetinib treatment increased the proportions of naïve CD8 + T cells and effector CD4 + T cells and decreases the proportion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in immunocompetent mice bearing 4T1 tumors. Notably, we observed differential immunomodulatory effects of cobimetinib in tumor-bearing mice compared to non–tumor-bearing immunocompetent mice. Our findings indicate that MEK inhibition is associated with ICD-related molecular alterations, and that cobimetinib may contribute to immune modulation in TNBC.

Sepsis survivors frequently experience post-discharge physical function decline and encounter logistical barriers to participation in traditional outpatient rehabilitation. This pilot study examined the feasibility, safety, and preliminary efficacy of a remotely delivered, home-based exercise program on physical function in older sepsis survivors. In this single-blinded, randomized controlled trial (RCT), sepsis survivors aged ≥ 55 years were randomized to (a) 12 weeks of avatar-guided, progressive exercise training group (EX) or (b) a standard care control group (CO). Primary outcomes were feasibility (retention, adherence) and safety (adverse events), whereas secondary outcomes were changes in the 30-s Sit-to-Stand (30SSTS), 4-Stage Balance Test (4SBT), Timed Up-and-Go (TUG) tests, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group/Zubrod's (ECOG/Zubrod) performance status score. Twenty-one participants were randomized to either EX ( n = 10, mean age = 69.6 ± 8.5 years, 40% females) or CO ( n = 11, mean age = 72.3 ± 7.9 years, 45% females). Mean retention was 95% and adherence to exercise training was 76%. Thirty-four adverse events (AEs) occurred (EX = 11; CO = 16; consented but not randomized = 7 events), including four serious AEs that were unrelated to the study. The EX group showed trends toward improvements in lower-extremity strength (30SSTS: 1.14 ± 2.91 repetitions, Cohen’s d = 0.393) and balance (4SBT: 5.07 ± 4.75 s, d = 1.07), whereas the CO group showed no change in balance on the 4SBT (0.01 ± 4.38 s, d = 0.003) and trends toward decline in lower-extremity strength on the 30SSTS (− 0.88 ± 0.99 repetitions, d = − 0.883). TUG performance showed modest trends toward reductions in completion time in both groups (EX: − 1.42 ± 6.58 s, d = − 0.216; CO: − 1.27 ± 2.73 s, d = − 0.466). ECOG/Zubrod scores showed a modest trend toward improvement in the EX group subset. This pilot RCT demonstrated that a 12-week, remotely delivered exercise program was safe and feasible for older sepsis survivors and showed preliminary signals of positive change in lower-extremity strength, balance, and functional status, which warrants testing efficacy in an adequately powered Phase IIb RCT.

Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegeneration - Nikhil N. Chaudhari; Owen M. Vega; Phoebe Imms; Jaron M. Kawamura; Nahian F. Chowdhury; Tamara Jafar; Andrei Irimia; Michael Weiner; Paul Aisen; Ronald Petersen; Clifford R. Jack; William Jagust; et al. (GeroScience, 2026)
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can find aging-related structural alterations above and beyond cortical thickness and atrophy. Using a novel approach to DNN interpretability, we mapped brain aging progression in 25,539 cognitively normal UK Biobank adults aged 45–83 years. Cortical aging is found to involve anatomic features becoming prominent during the 50s within frontolateral, mesolimbic, cuneal, and occipitotemporal regions. From these foci, aging-related features propagate to adjacent areas at rates peaking in the 60s. Cortical thinning and atrophy do not trend closely with neurodegeneration, but important DNN-identifiable anatomic features have spatiotemporal dynamics that match those of amyloid or tau. Our results challenge the assumption that MRI cannot map anatomic features trending with neurodegeneration. Interpretable DNNs can empower MRI to quantify anatomic aging as a process of spatial feature expansion from focal regions into nearby structures in the sequence of neurodegenerative pathology. Traditional morphometrics explain only ∼1% of variance in DNN-identifiable features, which clarifies why the former are insensitive to anatomic changes involving neurodegeneration. Our results conceptualize brain aging in the context of spatial and temporal parallels between anatomic senescence and neuropathology. These findings may help to map cognitively normal adults’ neurodegenerative anatomy even without PET measurements. Graphical Abstract

Due to the complex interactions among coastal bathymetry, wave dynamics, and environmental conditions, the mechanisms governing CFW formation remain poorly understood, making reliable prediction difficult. This study investigates the feasibility of applying machine learning techniques to predict CFW occurrences using observational environmental data. Three machine learning algorithms, the Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN), were developed to generate probability-based predictions of CFW events. Environmental variables derived from buoy observations, including wave characteristics, wind conditions, swell parameters, wave grouping indicators, and nonlinear wave interaction indices, were used as model inputs. Hyperparameters were optimized using grid search combined with k-fold cross-validation. The results show that all three models achieved comparable predictive performance, with AUC values close to 0.80 and overall prediction accuracy around 74%. The ANN model achieved the highest recall, indicating strong capability in detecting CFW events, while the RF and SVM models showed more balanced precision and recall. Analysis of high-probability prediction events suggests that CFW occurrences are associated with swell-dominated conditions, strong wave grouping behavior, and enhanced nonlinear wave interactions. These results demonstrate that machine learning provides a promising framework for probabilistic prediction of coastal freak waves and has potential applications in coastal hazard assessment and early warning systems.

Sex and APOE genotype specific brain regional vulnerability to Alzheimer's Disease - Qi Zeng; Minghui Wang; Erming Wang; Xianxiao Zhou; Peng Xu; Vahram Haroutunian; Dongming Cai; Bin Zhang; Michael Weiner; Paul Aisen; Ronald Petersen; Clifford R. Jack; et al. (GeroScience, 2026)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI), and regional vulnerability was assessed with a composite vulnerability score (CVS) derived from associations between diffusion features and AD severity across clinical traits in each of the four sex-APOE groups (female or male, with or without APOE4). Brain parcellation with the Eve atlas revealed regions consistently affected across sex-APOE groups (e.g., parahippocampal and superior temporal gyri) and regions specific to individual groups (e.g., the cingulum in females with APOE4 and the middle frontal gyrus in males without APOE4). Gene co-expression network analysis of the matched blood expression data identified gene subnetworks linked to group-specific regional vulnerability, including a muscle tissue morphogenesis module regulated by NEURL1B and HIST1H2BN associated with middle frontal gyrus vulnerability. These findings demonstrate that sex and APOE genotype jointly shape region-specific WM vulnerability and its molecular signatures in AD. Understanding these interactions provides novel mechanistic insights and may inform precision approaches to drug development, biomarker discovery, and clinical trial design for AD.

STAT3 Signaling Mediates Agomelatine Restoration of Prefrontal Cortex Synaptic Plasticity in Chronic Social Defeat Stress Mice - Chi-Wei Lee; Han-Fang Wu; Hsin-Ju Yen; Lun-De Liao; Wei-Chang Mao; Hsun-Shuo Chang; Yih-Fung Chen; Chia-Hsien Lin; Cheng-Ta Li; Hui-Ching Lin (Molecular Neurobiology, 2026)
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a major public health issue worldwide. It not only causes an increased socio-economic burden, but also negatively affects personal lives. It has been shown that depression leads to impairments in synaptic plasticity, such as impaired long-term potentiation (LTP) in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). A recent study reported that administration of agomelatine, a melatonin receptor agonist and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) 2C antagonist, which may be involved in synaptic functions, for 1 week has a rapid antidepressive effect. Moreover, the mechanism of Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β), regulated by signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), may play an important role in the synapse-related pathological mechanisms of depression. Hence, we used chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) as an animal model of depression, to investigate whether synaptic plasticity impairment in depression, improved by agomelatine, is mediated through the STAT3 mechanism. The results showed that depressive-like behaviors were reversed after 1 week of agomelatine treatment. Moreover, the impairment of LTP and alteration of spine density were reversed by agomelatine in the PFC. We further applied AG490, an inhibitor of STAT3, to demonstrate that the therapeutic mechanism of agomelatine improves synaptic plasticity through STAT3-regulated phosphorylation of GSK3β. Taken together, these results demonstrated that STAT3-regulated downstream molecules are potential therapeutic targets for the rapid action of antidepressants.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental disorder, is characterized by synaptic dysregulation as its underlying pathophysiological mechanism. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an intracellular energy sensor, plays a pivotal role in regulating synaptic integrity and function. Current treatments for ASD exhibit limited benefits in alleviating the core symptoms of ASD. Consequently, we investigated the therapeutic potential of ENERGI, a novel AMPK-activating compound, in a valproate (VPA)-induced mouse model of ASD. ENERGI was administered via drinking water to VPA-induced ASD offspring. After 7 days of treatment, ENERGI gradually alleviated social defects, repetitive behaviors, and emotional comorbidities in VPA-induced ASD offspring. At the synaptic level, ENERGI treatment restored aberrant plasticity, spine structure, and dendritic arborization in the hippocampus of VPA-induced ASD offspring. Notably, the curative effects of ENERGI in VPA-induced ASD offspring were equivalent to those of D-cycloserine (DCS), a known therapeutic candidate for ASD. Moreover, ENERGI demonstrated superior efficacy in restoring spine abnormalities than DCS. Mechanistically, 7-day ENERGI treatment reversed the reduction in AMPK phosphorylation, and normalized the elevated PSD95 and synaptic GluA2 levels in VPA-induced ASD offspring, whereas DCS treatment only rescued the synaptic GluA2 levels. Overall, these findings suggest that AMPK activation by ENERGI effectively reverses behavioral and synaptic deficits in a preclinical ASD model, supporting AMPK as a promising target for developing novel ASD therapies.

Strategies for Promoting Sustainable Development of Land and Water Resources in a Land Subsidence Affected Area of Taiwan - Chung‐Feng Ding; Yu‐Ching Lin; Reuy‐Chi Kao (Irrigation and Drainage, 2025)
Land subsidence has been observed in many parts of the world. In Taiwan, the main cause is the excessive extraction of groundwater in alluvial plains. For limited land and water resources, it is essential to balance the development among economics, society and conservation issues in land subsidence‐affected areas. The Taiwan government promotes ‘prevention (non‐engineering)’ and ‘reclamation (engineering)’ strategies since the 1980s, which are to increase surface and alternative water supply, decrease groundwater abstraction, strengthen groundwater recharge, enhance enforcement related to water resources utilization and management, reduce induced disasters and encourage public participation. This paper reports the framework of prevention and reclamation strategies and their relative achievements; furthermore, it recently integrated ICT technology with low‐cost devices to monitor the regional pumping behaviour related to land subsidence for groundwater management. The real‐time monitoring system enables the utilization of groundwater more effectively and sustainably in reducing land subsidence. In 2022, according to the delimited goals of each strategy in every phase, all achievements were effective in mitigating the annual subsiding rate and affected area, the former from over 20 cm/year down to 8 cm/year, the latter from 1616 to 310 km 2 .

Downlisting and recovery of species assessed by the IUCN - Mu‐Ming Lin; Richard A. Fuller; In‐Ki Kwon; Kisup Lee; Simba Chan; Wangwang Qiu; Yat‐Tung Yu; Chi‐Yeung Choi (Conservation Biology, 2025)
Despite the increasing number of species assessed for extinction risk by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) (163,040 species as of 2024), only about 1 in 1,000 have been downlisted due to genuine population improvement. Although this rare conservation achievement has been widely celebrated in several recent cases, some other downlisting decisions have met with controversy. A primary role of the IUCN is to assess extinction risk. In this role, it must maintain its independence and not be influenced by the public outcry that may occur when a high‐profile species is downlisted, even if well‐established conservation programs may be disrupted or abandoned as a result. We explored the potential positive and negative consequences of downlisting for conservation efforts through case studies of the giant panda ( Ailuropoda melanoleuca ), red‐crowned crane ( Grus japonensis ), saiga antelope ( Saiga tatarica ), and black‐faced spoonbill ( Platalea minor ), which has recently been proposed for downlisting. Although downlisting can enable more effective use of limited resources, these cases highlight potential risks, including weakened legal backing, diversion of resources away from the species, and declining public and political support. The relatively unquestioned downlisting of the saiga antelope illustrates how early and inclusive engagement of local experts, assessors, donors, and other stakeholders can help ensure that decisions are effectively communicated and implemented without jeopardizing species recovery. The IUCN Green Status of Species assessment is a complementary tool to the IUCN Red List and offers a useful measure of conservation progress, which can help decision makers ensure that downlisting does not undermine long‐term conservation efforts.

Using an acidic vesicle tracer to identify potential bacterivores in coastal waters of the subtropical Western Pacific Ocean - Yun-Chi Lin; Yu-Chen Lin; Kuo-Ping Chiang; Chien-Pang Chin; Wen-Chen Chou (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2025)
Bacterivores play a key role in transferring energy through microbial food webs and are broadly classified as heterotrophic or mixotrophic based on the presence of inherent chloroplasts. Mixotrophs, especially in low-latitude regions, have recently gained attention due to their dual roles as primary producers and bacterial grazers, which enable them to thrive in nutrient-poor, stratified waters where traditional autotrophs or heterotrophs may be less competitive. This study investigated the composition of bacterivores in the coastal waters of northeastern Taiwan during the warm season (July and August 2022). A combination of LysoTracker staining, flow cytometry sorting, and 18S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing was used to rapidly identify heterotrophic and mixotrophic nanoflagellates (HNFs and MNFs, respectively) based on chloroplast autofluorescence. The dominant eukaryotic lineages included Alveolata, Stramenopiles, Opisthokonta, Chlorophyta, and Rhizaria. HNFs were primarily composed of MAST clades, choanoflagellates (Opisthokonta), Telonemia, and Radiolaria, while MNFs included cryptophytes, haptophytes, and chlorophytes such as Mamiella , Mantoniella and Tetraselmis , as well as stramenopiles like Dictyochophyceae and Chrysophyceae. Notably, several non-motile chlorophytes, including Chloropicon and members of Pycnococcaceae, were identified as potential bacterivores based on Lysotracker signals; however, their phagotrophic capability requires further confirmation in future studies. Despite the limitations of LysoTracker-based methods, this study reveals previously overlooked mixotrophic diversity and highlights the need for further validation. These findings advance our understanding of carbon flow and microbial dynamics in subtropical marine ecosystems under changing environmental conditions.

The connection between skeletal muscle and spinal canal membrane of Takifugu rubripes and its anatomical and physiological significance - Yang Song; Wen-Bin Jiang; Yu-Yu Xiong; Chun-Zhuo Shi; Hua-Xun Lai; Jing-Xian Sun; Lin-Lin Chen; Bo Liu; Yan-Yan Chi; Ji-Hang Li; Yi-Tong Sun; Xu-Hui Zhang; et al.

Introduction The myodural bridge (MDB) is considered one of the circulatory dynamics of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Initially identified in the human neck, it has since been documented across diverse vertebrates, including fish with analogous “MDB-like” structures. The teleost Takifugu rubripes , which exhibits a high degree of genetic homology with humans, serves as an excellent model for such comparative studies. Investigating its MDB-like structure can therefore provide a morphological basis for elucidating the mechanism of CSF circulation and its evolution during the vertebrate land–water transition. Methods In this study, the morphology, development, and ultrastructure of MDB-like structure of Takifugu rubripes were explored. Three fresh adult T. rubripes were selected for gross anatomy. After incubation, 33 T. rubripes aged 13–120 days after hatching (dah) were fixed in 10% formalin solution. The samples aged 50–120 dah were further decalcified with EDTA for histological paraffin sectioning and Masson staining. Four cases aged 106 dah were fixed with 2.5% glutaraldehyde, two of which were observed by scanning electron microscopy, and two cases were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Results Through light microscopy and electron microscopy, the results of the current study is that there are three types of fiber connections (MDB-like) between skeletal muscle and the spinal canal membrane in T. rubripes : (1) The fibers from the myocomma attach to the spinal canal membrane; (2) The epimysium connects to the spinal canal membrane directly or connects to the spinal canal membrane through reticular, filamentous fibers, or fibers emitting from the perimysium; and (3) The fibers from the end of the muscle bundle stop at the spinal canal membrane. These connections mainly exist on the sides of each vertebral interspace and may function similarly to the MDB. Discussion Developmentally, “MDB-like” structures appeared in T. rubripes hatched at 18 dah, began to transmit force at 21 dah, and may have a positive correlation in development with the muscle and spinal canal membrane. This experiment provides developmental morphological information for comparative studies on the conservation and interspecies differences of MDB in evolution and provides informational support to explore the physiological function of MDB in humans.

Understanding how corals adapt to changes in seawater carbonate chemistry is crucial for developing effective coral conservation strategies. Research to date has mostly focused on short-term experiments, overlooking long-term evolutionary effects. Here, we investigated the link between short-term stress responses and long-term genetic adaptations in the coral species Porites pukoensis through experiments under varying CO 2 and alkalinity conditions. Our results showed that alkalinity enrichment significantly increased coral calcification rates by 35%-45% compared to high CO 2 treatment, highlighting the potential of alkalinity enrichment to mitigate acidification impacts. Corals modulated relative expression levels of basic and acidic proteins in response to changes in seawater carbonate chemistry in the stress experiments. Genomic data revealed that this mechanism has been evolutionarily fixed in various organisms adapting to seawater carbonate chemistry. Additionally, both experimental and genomic results showed that extracellular matrix proteins, like collagen with von Willebrand factor type A domain, were modified in response to distinct carbonate environments. Molecular dynamics simulations and in-vitro experiments demonstrated that the structural stability of these proteins contributes to coral resilience under acidified conditions. This study established an integrated framework combining stress experiments, multi-omics analyses, molecular simulations, and in-vitro validation to identify key proteins involved in coral adaptation to acidification.
