PINK1, Mitophagy, and Bleomycin Lung Fibrosis
2026-10-05
A 2025 Cellular Signalling study reports that PINK1 deficiency attenuates bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice by enhancing BNIP3- and FUNDC1-mediated mitophagy. The findings extend the usual PINK1/Parkin framework and identify mitochondrial quality-control crosstalk as a potential determinant of alveolar epithelial injury.

PP2A, Autophagy, and Candida Biofilm Drug Resistance
2026-10-05
A 2025 study links the PP2A catalytic subunit PPH21 to autophagy, biofilm formation, and antifungal drug resistance in Candida albicans. Its combined genetic, cellular, and animal-model evidence suggests that PP2A-related regulation of Atg13 and Atg1 may help explain why biofilm-associated infections respond poorly to antifungal treatment, while important questions about pathway specificity and clinical transferability remain.

JXE-23 Triggers Protective Autophagy in HCC Cells
2026-09-25
A 2024 study reports that the fern-derived diterpene JXE-23 preferentially inhibited HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells, induced G2/M arrest, and activated autophagy-associated responses. Because blocking autophagy further reduced cell viability, the findings suggest that this response may protect cells from JXE-23, although additional experiments are needed to define the mechanism and its relevance beyond the tested models.
