Mechanisms and Predisposing Conditions for Statin‐Induced New‐Onset Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Paradox Relative to Their Pleiotropic Metabolic Effects

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
The primary function of statins is to inhibit cholesterol synthesis, which contributes to their antidiabetic effects. However, the majority of the diabetic effects of statins are due to inhibition of isoprenoid synthesis. Atorvastatin, simvastatin and rosuvastatin possess the most pronounced diabetogenic properties. In contrast, lovastatin, fluvastatin,

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.

Autophagy in MASLD: A Metabolic and Precision Medicine Perspective

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common chronic liver condition worldwide and a major contributor to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). While metabolic triggers such as obesity and insulin resistance are key drivers of MASLD, growing evidence has identified defects in intracellular quality

Patients on statins with elevated transaminases: Frequency of follow‐up creatine kinase testing and gastroenterology referral

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 8, Page 2917-2923, August 2026.
Abstract Purpose To quantify how often creatine kinase (CK) is measured after newly elevated aminotransferases in statin users, and whether absent CK data are associated with gastroenterology (GI) referrals. Methods Retrospective chart review of adult outpatients on statins with a first alanine/aspartate aminotransferase (ALT/AST) elevation during a 5 ...

Overcoming Radiation Resistance: Ferroptosis Induction to Sensitize Solid Tumors to Radiation Therapy

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Radiation therapy (RT) is a mainstay of treatment for a myriad of cancers, often utilized for tumors that are unable to be resected, as well as an adjunct to surgery and chemotherapy. Unfortunately, many cancers are resistant to RT‐induced damage and subsequent cell death.

Uncovering Coenzyme Q10‐Related Genetic Determinants of Statin‐Associated Muscle Symptoms: Evidence from the UK Biobank and the All of Us Research Program

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 120, Issue 2, Page 475-483, August 2026.
Statin‐associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) are frequent adverse effects of statin therapy and have been hypothesized to result from impaired coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) biosynthesis. Although genetic determinants of CoQ10 levels have been reported, genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) conducted specifically in statin users are lacking. Moreover, direct CoQ10

The characterization of a new stabilized lactonase from the endophytic fungi Aspergillus pseudonomiae with anti‐bacterial and anti‐fungal properties

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Microorganisms use diverse small‐molecule signals to coordinate behavior, supporting interspecies and interkingdom communication. These chemical dialogs shape fundamental biological processes and define interactions from cooperation to antagonism.
