PDHA1 Succinylation and Macrophage Immune Escape
2026-08-14
A 2025 Nature Communications study identifies PDHA1 K83 succinylation as a metabolic–immune link in cholangiocarcinoma. The work shows that altered PDH activity increases tumor-microenvironment α-KG, suppresses macrophage MHC-II antigen presentation through OXGR1–MAPK signaling, and may create a rationale for combining CPI-613 with gemcitabine and cisplatin.

Suhuang, ER Stress, and NLRP3 in Cough Variant Asthma
2026-08-10
The reference study links endoplasmic reticulum stress to NLRP3 inflammasome activation and pulmonary dysfunction in an ovalbumin-induced model of cough variant asthma. Its main contribution is a mechanistic pathway connecting calcium trafficking, PKCε, TXNIP, and the RIP1-RIP3-Drp1 axis, while showing that Suhuang antitussive capsule protects pulmonary homeostasis through ER-stress suppression.
