Bifendate, Autophagy, and Hepatic Lipid Accumulation
2026-08-13
The reference study shows that bifendate inhibits autophagy at several mechanistically distinct stages, including autophagosome–lysosome fusion, lysosome acidification, and autophagic lysosome reformation. It also reports reduced oleic acid-induced lipid droplet accumulation, linking bifendate activity to lysosomal regulation and hepatocellular lipid handling rather than to antioxidant effects alone.

CD28–ARS2–PKM Splicing in CD8+ T Cells
2026-08-11
Holling and colleagues identify a CD28–ARS2 signaling axis that reshapes alternative splicing in activated CD8+ T cells, favoring PKM2 over PKM1 and enabling flexible glucose metabolism. The work links RNA processing to interferon-γ production and antitumor activity while showing that this metabolic branch can operate independently of canonical CD28–PI3K signaling.
