Alcohol‐Related Liver Disease and Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: Molecular Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Interventions

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2025.
Alcohol‐related (ALD) and metabolic dysfunction‐associated (MASLD) steatotic liver disease, while initiated by distinct etiologies (ethanol vs. metabolic stress), converge on shared core pathogenic pathways that drive progression. These include dysregulated lipid metabolism, programmed cell death, cellular senescence, gut dysbiosis, and immune ...

Efficient PHB2 (prohibitin 2) exposure during mitophagy depends on VDAC1 (voltage dependent anion channel 1). [PDF]

Autophagy
Exposure of inner mitochondrial membrane resident protein PHB2 (prohibitin 2) during autophagic removal of depolarized mitochondria (mitophagy) depends on the ubiquitin-proteasome system. This uncovering facilitates the PHB2 interaction with phagophore membrane-associated protein MAP1LC3/LC3.

Strategic Design of Aptamer‐Guided Aggregation‐Induced Emission Nanoparticles for Targeted Photodynamic Therapy in Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 43, November 20, 2025.
This study presents MF3Ec‐TBPP nanoparticles for targeted photodynamic therapy of Luminal A breast cancer. These nanoparticles combine an AIE‐based photosensitizer with an aptamer. Tests show they effectively inhibit tumor growth while protecting healthy tissue via aggregation and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, indicating potential for improved ...

PBMC of Multiple Sclerosis Patients Show Deregulation of OPA1 Processing Associated with Increased ROS and PHB2 Protein Levels

Biomedicines, 2020
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease in which activated lymphocytes affect the central nervous system. Increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS), impairment of mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and mitochondrial alterations have been reported ...

Synthesized Depside Molecules Suppress the Progression of Colorectal Cancer by Binding VDAC1/PHB/MMP9 Being at the Crossroads of Stemness, Motility, Apoptosis, and Metabolism

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2025.
This study suggests that newly synthesized depside compounds suppress the progression of colorectal cancer by directly targeting VDAC1/PHB/MMP9. Especially, SB4 demonstrated significant bioavailability and successfully suppressed the tumor growth. ABSTRACT Lichen secondary metabolites have shown potential in cancer therapy, but strategies to enhance ...

PHB2 (prohibitin 2) promotes PINK1-PRKN/Parkin-dependent mitophagy by the PARL-PGAM5-PINK1 axis [PDF]

Autophagy, 2019
Mitophagy, which is a conserved cellular process for selectively removing damaged or unwanted mitochondria, is critical for mitochondrial quality control and the maintenance of normal cellular physiology. However, the precise mechanisms underlying mitophagy remain largely unknown.

Inhibition of insulin/IGF‐1 receptor signaling protects from mitochondria‐mediated kidney failure

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2015
Mitochondrial dysfunction and alterations in energy metabolism have been implicated in a variety of human diseases. Mitochondrial fusion is essential for maintenance of mitochondrial function and requires the prohibitin ring complex subunit prohibitin‐2 (

Characterization and functionality of two members of the SPFH protein superfamily, prohibitin 1 and 2 in Leishmania major

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Leishmaniasis, a disease caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania, infects roughly 12 million people worldwide, with about two million new cases per year. Prohibitins (PHBs) are highly conserved proteins belonging to the stomatin-prohibitin

Differential effects of age and sex on tau pathology propagation in the htau mouse model: A neuropathological and proteomic study

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 21, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Aging is the main risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), acting through still poorly understood mechanisms. AD is associated with the development of a tau pathology, a hallmark lesion propagating in the brain along neuroanatomically connected pathways.

LncRNAs: the bridge linking RNA and colorectal cancer. [PDF]

, 2016
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcribed by genomic regions (exceeding 200 nucleotides in length) that do not encode proteins. While the exquisite regulation of lncRNA transcription can provide signals of malignant transformation, lncRNAs control ...
