Targeting P38α Promotes Parkin-Mediated Mitophagy to Attenuate Severe Acute Pancreatitis via Suppressing the mtDNA/cGAS-STING Signaling Pathway

[Cell Death & Disease] Scientists identified p38α (MAPK14) as a central regulator of mitophagy during severe acute pancreatitis progression (SAP). Combining bioinformatic screening with an experimental SAP model, they demonstrated aberrantly hyperactivated p38α in pancreatic acinar cells.
