Celastrol inhibits necroptosis by attenuating the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL pathway and confers protection against acute pancreatitis in mice

68 views | May 18 2023

Celastrol has been found to inhibit necroptosis by attenuating the phosphorylation of RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL and mitochondrial dysfunction in in vitro models, and in a mouse model of acute pancreatitis, it significantly reduced the severity of the disease and decreased the phosphorylation of MLKL in pancreatic tissues.

Targeting mitochondrial stress with SS31 prevents experimental abdominal aortic aneurysm: crosstalk with ER stress

36 views | Apr 19 2023

The study demonstrates that inhibition of mitochondrial stress with SS31 limits AAA formation and increases survival through a reduction of vascular remodeling, inflammation, and ROS, and also supports the idea that the attenuation of ER stress contributes to the favorable response.
