Inhibition of mitochondrial VDAC1 oligomerization alleviates apoptosis and necroptosis of retinal neurons following OGD/R injury

10 views | Oct 26 2023

The study found that inhibiting the oligomerization of Voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) rescues mitochondrial dysfunction and reduces apoptosis/necroptosis in retinal cells, offering a potential therapeutic strategy for ocular diseases caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Microglial VDAC1 signaling modulates sleep deprivation-induced transition to chronic postsurgical pain

44 views | Apr 18 2023

This study demonstrates that sleep deprivation before and after surgery increases the risk of chronic pain by activating spinal microglia, and that VDAC1 signaling regulates microglial activation-related ATP release, inflammation, and pain chronicity in mice. [Read the Full Post]
