AMPK Protects Endothelial Cells against HSV-1 Replication via Inhibition of mTORC1 and ACC1
Scientists addressed the question of whether the host cell protein AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an important metabolic sensor, could control HSV-1 replication in endothelial cells.
[Cell Metabolism] Using exercise and sarcopenia models, mice lacking IL6Rα on T cells demonstrated deficits in regulatory T cells, their functional maturation, and a more pronounced decline in muscle mass.
[Communications Biology] Based on the up-regulation of catabolism and down-regulation of anabolism, researchers showed genetic mutation-mediated metabolic reprogramming in the progression of cancer cachexia by screening for metabolites and investigating their direct effect on muscle atrophy.
[Acta Pharmacologica Sinica] Researchers investigated the effect of myeloid-derived growth factor to postinjury neointimal formation and the underlying mechanisms. Rat carotid arteries balloon-injured model was established.
