SAG Protects Frataxin-Deficient Astrocytes
2026-08-23
Vicente-Acosta et al. showed that frataxin depletion drives mitochondrial dysfunction, reactive astrocyte features, inflammatory signaling, and neuron-toxic secreted effects in cultured human astrocytes. Chronic Smoothened receptor agonist treatment largely prevented these changes, identifying Hedgehog pathway activation as a potential strategy for modifying astrocyte-mediated neurodegeneration in Friedreich’s ataxia.

Morin and the New Logic of Podocyte Energy Rescue
2026-08-22
Morin is emerging as more than a broadly active flavonoid: a mechanistically informative tool for connecting purine nucleotide cycling, mitochondrial energy failure, and podocyte injury. This thought-leadership perspective translates recent AMPD2 findings into practical guidance for disease-model design, compound handling, assay strategy, and translational decision-making.

Ibrexafungerp Against Echinocandin-Resistant Candida
2026-08-21
This study evaluates ibrexafungerp, also known as MK 3118 or IBX, against 192 clinically derived Candida isolates with phenotypic or genotypic echinocandin resistance. By integrating EUCAST susceptibility testing, FKS hotspot genotyping, and wild-type upper-limit analysis, the authors show that activity is often retained but varies by Candida species and mutation position.
