Computational Evaluation of Statin Analogs Targeting HMG‐CoA Reductase for Coronary Artery Disease Treatment

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
Molecular dynamics analysis of novel statin analogs shows that binding induces superior stabilization of HMG‐CoA reductase. As shown by the solvent‐accessible surface area profile, ligand‐induced rigidity offers a new, effective strategy for drug design. Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of global mortality.

Improved methanol-derived lovastatin production through enhancement of the biosynthetic pathway and intracellular lovastatin efflux in methylotrophic yeast

Bioresources and Bioprocessing, 2018
Background Methanol has attracted interest as a substrate for improvement of product titers and yields of bioprocesses, because methanol has a more reduced state than sugars do and can be renewably synthesized from abundant natural gas supplies.

Demystifying fungal systematics: A gateway to fungal literacy and societal/ecological relevance through familiar species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

Mystery and misery of locally‐delivered drug therapy in periodontics. Historical concepts and current state

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract The primary objective is to critically analyze approaches to local therapy for periodontal disease, particularly in light of its well‐established systemic implications. We specifically address common misconceptions and overestimations regarding the potential of local treatments in contrast to their actual clinical effectiveness.

Antibiotic‐mediated immune modulation in periodontitis

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. Although initiated by dysbiotic microbial communities, its progression is largely driven by the host's uncontrolled inflammatory response. While antibiotics have conventionally been employed in periodontitis therapy for their antimicrobial ...

Rethinking Statin Dosage in Coronary Disease

Pharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 1, February 2026.
It is widely acknowledged that a sufficient statin dose is important in the management of symptomatic coronary disease, along with weight reduction and appropriate antithrombotic, blood pressure, and diabetes pharmacotherapy. Mid‐range statin doses have been shown to achieve the maximum improvements in total mortality and have the advantage of greater ...

Heart matters: How glucose‐ and lipid‐modulating drugs remodel epicardial adipose tissue accumulation, inflammatory patterns and browning

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 878-894, February 2026.
Abstract Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a metabolically active visceral fat depot located between the myocardium and the visceral pericardium, exerting direct paracrine and vasocrine effects on the heart and coronary vessels. Under physiological conditions, EAT supports myocardial energy metabolism and thermoregulation through fatty acid supply and
