LYZ Gene as a Novel Therapeutic Target and Diagnostic Biomarker in Glioblastoma: Insights from Multi-Omics Analysis and Functional Validation. (PubMed, Biology (Basel))
The LYZ gene's functional importance in the pathophysiology of GBM was highlighted by the dramatic reduction in cell proliferation, motility, and invasion that resulted from its knockout. These results suggest that LYZ is a viable therapeutic target and possible GBM diagnostic biomarker, which calls for more research into its mechanisms of action and potential clinical use.

Identification of lysozyme in Venetin-1 nanoparticle from the coelomic fluid of the earthworm Dendrobaena veneta. (PubMed, Front Mol Biosci)
Proteomic analyses confirmed the presence of these proteins and similarity to human lysozyme. These observations suggest the presence of polymeric forms of lysozyme in the tested complex, and zeta potential analysis revealed properties of the nanoparticle that predispose it to use in medicine.

The Phase-Transited Lysozyme Coating Modified Small Intestinal Submucosa Membrane Loaded with Calcium and Zinc Ions for Enhanced Bone Regeneration. (PubMed, Adv Healthc Mater)
Additionally, phase-transited lysozyme (PTL) nanofilm technique enables efficient ion loading and controlled release, while offering antibacterial properties. In this study, a multifunctional SIS membrane is constructed by PTL-ions layers, providing a potential solution to the challenge of clinical bone defects.

Artificially tagging tumors with nano-aluminum adjuvant-tethered antigen mRNA recruits and activates antigen-specific cytotoxic T cells for enhanced cancer immunotherapy. (PubMed, Biomaterials)
In non-pre-vaccinated mice, combining MO@NAL with the OVA therapeutic vaccine or OVA-specific adoptive T cell transfusion similarly achieves robust solid tumor suppression. These findings thus underscore the potential of MO@NAL as an effective and safe immunomodulator for enhancing cytotoxic T cell responses and providing timely intervention in solid tumor progression.

Causal-inferring and molecular-docking yield new targets for malignant melanoma therapy. (PubMed, Arch Dermatol Res)
Through assessment of ADMET properties and binding ability of receptor-ligand, 15 antagonists and 25 agonists of matched drug-like chemicals showed therapeutic effects on target genes. On the basis of causal relationship, docking score and ADMET evaluation, these hit targets and drug-like compounds yield new directions for the development of potent therapeutic agents in melanoma patients.

Enhanced anticancer effect of lysozyme-functionalized metformin-loaded shellac nanoparticles on a 3D cell model: role of the nanoparticle and payload concentrations. (PubMed, Biomater Sci)
It was discovered that the high metformin payload NPs were more efficient than the lower metformin payload NPs with a higher nanocarrier concentration. This study introduces a reliable in vitro model for potential targeting of solid tumours with smart nano-therapeutics, presenting a viable alternative to animal testing for evaluating anticancer nanotechnologies.

Iron regulatory protein 2 contributes to antimicrobial immunity by preserving lysosomal function in macrophages. (PubMed, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A)
Tfeb mislocalization was reversed by hypoxia-inducible factor 2 inhibitor PT2385 and, independently, through inhibition of lactic acid production. These experimental findings were confirmed clinically in patients with Crohn's disease and through bioinformatic searches in databases from Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis biopsies showing loss of IRP2 and transcription factor EB (TFEB)-dependent lysosomal gene expression. Overall, our study highlights a mechanism whereby Irp2 supports nuclear translocation of Tfeb and lysosomal function, preserving macrophage antimicrobial activity and protecting the liver against invading bacteria during intestinal inflammation.
