This study identifies IKKβ activation as a transient upstream signal triggered by efferocytosis that promotes tissue resolution through multiple downstream pathways.

This study identifies geranylgeranyl isoprenoids and hepatic Rap1a as regulators of PCSK9 expression, showing that statin-induced PCSK9 is dependent on these factors and their inhibition reduces PCSK9 and plasma cholesterol.

This study shows that Rap1a activation prevents fatty liver and NASH by reducing Srebp1 processing and hepatic TG accumulation in obese mice.
