Mitochondria produce lactate to vent redox pressure
Conventionally viewed as a waste product or a cytosolic pyruvate source, recent findings suggest that lactate may also directly contribute to mitochondrial oxidative metabolism. Using an intramitochondrial lactate biosensor, Rauseo et al. instead find that energized mitochondria are producers of lactate, which buffers mitochondrial redox to mitigate reactive oxygen species production.

Identification of an STING inhibitor targeting the allosteric transmembrane domains
Identification of an STING inhibitor targeting the allosteric transmembrane domains
Chen et al. introduce Y-320, a potent allosteric STING inhibitor that uniquely binds to the transmembrane domain instead of the canonical binding pocket, thereby blocking STING activation and trafficking. Y-320 effectively improves acute kidney injury in mice, highlighting the therapeutic potential of targeting non-canonical STING sites.
