This study shows glucose directly binds to glucokinase (GK) to trigger GLP-1 secretion in intestinal L cells, independent of ATP levels, and identifies GK and KATP as key players in this process.

This study develops a small-molecule degrader, XMU-MP-9, that promotes ubiquitination and degradation of K-Ras mutants, including K-RasG12V, by enhancing Nedd4-1 interaction with K-Ras.

This study identifies lithocholic acid as a metabolite that mimics calorie restriction's anti-aging effects in multiple species through AMPK activation.

This study identifies LCA's mechanism of action through TULP3-sirtuin-v-ATPase-AMPK pathway to activate AMPK and extend lifespan in model organisms.
