Myriocin Restores Metabolic Homeostasis in dAGE Mice
2026-08-28
A 2025 Nutrients study shows that myriocin counteracts dietary advanced glycation end product exposure in mice by coordinating hepatic lipid and glucose regulation with AMPK–PGC1α-dependent mitochondrial activation. The work links sphingolipid synthesis inhibition to adipose thermogenesis, improved metabolic biomarkers, and broader metabolic reprogramming, while also identifying important limits for translation beyond the animal model.

Dual-Action Inhibitors and p38α Dephosphorylation
2026-08-27
The reference study shows that selected kinase inhibitors can do more than block p38α MAP kinase catalysis: they can also accelerate WIP1-mediated removal of the activation-loop phosphate. Structural and biochemical data link this effect to an inhibitor-stabilized, phosphatase-accessible activation-loop conformation, suggesting a route toward more selective kinase inhibition.
