11β-HSD1 Inhibition in Liver Fibrosis
2026-09-09
A 2025 mouse study identifies a mechanistic link between 11β-HSD1 inhibition, reduced intracellular cortisol, Notch pathway suppression, and enhanced natural killer cell activity during liver fibrosis. The findings expand liver fibrosis research beyond stellate-cell signaling alone, while the thioacetamide model and absence of clinical data limit direct translation to human MASLD or MASH.

Chronic NAD Depletion Activates mtDNA–STING Signaling
2026-09-08
This 2025 Aging Cell study shows that sustained nicotinamide deprivation can lower cellular NAD without immediate loss of viability, while impairing metabolic flexibility and triggering a viral infection-like interferon program. The findings connect chronic NAD deficiency to VDAC1-dependent mitochondrial DNA leakage and activation of the cGAS–STING signaling pathway, providing a mechanistic framework for studying age-associated inflammatory stress.
