Primidone and CYP19: Evidence from Antiepileptic Screening
2026-09-04
Jacobsen, Halling-Sørensen, and Birkved evaluated 12 antiepileptic drugs for inhibition of human aromatase CYP19 and found that Primidone, also known as Mysoline, did not inhibit the enzyme in their microsomal assay. The study provides a useful framework for separating CYP19-related endocrine mechanisms from other pharmacological activities and for interpreting combination-therapy risks.

Optimized GBA1 mRNA for Gaucher Disease Therapy
2026-09-01
The reference study develops an optimized human GBA1 mRNA platform by systematically modifying untranslated regions, codon usage, and poly(A) tails. The resulting mRNA improved glucocerebrosidase expression and persistence, restored lysosomal phenotypes in GBA1-deficient cells, and produced detectable enzyme activity in mouse liver and spleen after lipid nanoparticle delivery.

SEC-seq Reveals VEGF-A-Secreting MSC States
2026-08-31
The reference study introduces secretion encoded single-cell sequencing (SEC-seq), a nanovial-based workflow that measures VEGF-A secretion and transcriptomes from individual mesenchymal stromal cells. It shows that secretion is heterogeneous and only weakly predicted by VEGFA mRNA, identifying a distinct high-secretion subpopulation relevant to cell therapy and regenerative medicine research.

PZP Links Intermittent Fasting to BAT Thermogenesis
2026-08-28
The reference study identifies pregnancy zone protein (PZP) as a hepatokine induced during refeeding and shows that it promotes diet-induced thermogenesis through brown adipose tissue. Its proposed mechanism connects circulating PZP with cell-surface GRP78 and downstream p38 MAPK–ATF2 signaling, providing a mechanistic model for liver-to-adipose communication during intermittent fasting.
