Researchers at Aarhus University found a link between lipid kinase VPS34 and viral protection in the kidneys. The study used multiomics analysis to show that blocking lipid kinase could reduce viral entry and increase nutrient retention, offering potential new treatments for kidney diseases and infections.
A team of researchers has discovered a new mechanism for inactivating the mTor protein, which is involved in cell growth and metabolism. The study reveals that a specific lipid kinase can be activated by protein kinase N, leading to the inhibition of mTOR-dependent cell growth.
A study published in the Journal of Cell Biology reveals that PIKfyve, a lipid kinase, protects neurons from calcium overload by degrading voltage-gated calcium channels. This mechanism may provide new insights into neurodegenerative disorders such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease.
