The paper investigates how α-synuclein interacts differently with VDAC isoforms by analyzing binding kinetics and translocation behavior in planar lipid membranes.

This study identifies STX, a non-steroidal estrogenic compound, as targeting mitochondrial VDAC2 to enhance bioenergetics and provide neuroprotection in hypothalamic POMC neurons.

This paper shows that VBIT-4 disrupts mitochondrial membranes and causes cytotoxicity, challenging its role as a VDAC1 oligomerization inhibitor.

This study investigates the distinct roles of VDAC1, VDAC2, and VDAC3 in mitochondrial respiration and cancer cell metabolism through isoform-specific knockouts in HeLa cells.
