Canagliflozin Remodels Mitochondria in Diabetic Kidneys
2026-09-08
A 2025 study shows that canagliflozin improves mitochondrial architecture and bioenergetic performance in proximal tubular cells from hypertensive–diabetic mice, with stronger functional effects in males than females. The findings extend interpretation of SGLT2 inhibitor activity beyond glucose lowering and provide a mechanistic framework for studying renal protection in diabetes and hypertension.

Viperin Targets Coronavirus nsp8 to Block RTC Assembly
2026-09-07
A 2026 study identifies a ddhCTP-independent antiviral mechanism in which viperin binds coronavirus nsp8 and interferes with replication-transcription complex assembly and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity. Using porcine deltacoronavirus as a model, the work maps critical interaction regions and suggests that conserved viperin–nsp8 recognition could inform broad-spectrum antiviral drug development.

Nile Red in Autophagy and Lipid Droplet Assays
2026-09-01
Nile Red can do more than visualize intracellular lipid droplets: its dual fluorescence enables a framework for separating lipid storage phenotypes from autophagy-related mechanisms. This article explains how to use Nile Red in lipid metabolism research while interpreting findings from a key bifendate study without confusing droplet abundance with lipid flux.

Canagliflozin and Proximal Tubule Mitochondria
2026-09-01
A 2025 study shows that canagliflozin does more than lower glucose in hypertensive–diabetic mice: it remodels proximal tubular mitochondria and improves male-cell bioenergetics. The findings connect SGLT2 inhibition with renal mitochondrial structure, function, and sex-dependent responses, while also defining important limits for translation beyond the mouse model.

Drug-Sensitized Yeast for mTOR Inhibitor Discovery
2026-08-31
A 2025 GeroScience study introduces a drug-sensitized Saccharomyces cerevisiae platform that detects TOR pathway inhibitors at substantially lower concentrations than conventional yeast backgrounds. The system identifies known and candidate TOR inhibitors while showing no TOR-dependent growth signal for canagliflozin, illustrating how pathway-focused screening can separate mTOR activity from unrelated pharmacology.

Palmitic acid: Practical Protocol and QC Guide
2026-08-31
Palmitic acid (SKU N2456) provides a characterized solvent-based fatty acid input for controlled studies of lipid metabolism, insulin signaling, inflammation, and protein palmitoylation. It should not be added directly to aqueous systems or retained as a long-term solution; fresh preparation, matched vehicle controls, and documented reconstitution are required.
