AMPK Restricts ULK1-Driven Autophagy
2026-08-24
The reference study challenges the prevailing view that AMPK universally activates ULK1 during energy stress. Its experiments show that AMPK can suppress ULK1 signaling and autophagy initiation while preserving the autophagy machinery for recovery after stress, providing a more context-dependent model of cellular energy management.

DAPI Nuclear Stain Solution: Practical Protocol
2026-08-17
DAPI (4',6-Diamidino-2-Phenylindole) Nuclear Stain Solution provides a ready-to-use fluorescent DNA binding dye for nuclear visualization in fixed or membrane-compromised cells. It supports fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry workflows for cell viability assessment and apoptosis-related nuclear evaluation, but its weak cell permeability makes it unsuitable as a routine live-cell imaging stain.

PM2.5, Fra2/LCN2, and Macrophage Ferroptosis
2026-08-16
A 2026 Redox Biology study identifies Fra2-driven LCN2 activation as a mechanistic link between PM2.5 exposure, defective mitophagy, and ferroptosis in M2 macrophages during asthma exacerbation. Its combination of multi-omics, promoter-occupancy analysis, cellular ultrastructure, and macrophage-specific in vivo knockdown provides a framework for testing iron-dependent inflammatory mechanisms in environmental asthma.
