• news · 22 Jul 2026 In septic T cells, VDAC1 oligomers open a pore that leaks mtDNA and drives inflammation — and VBIT-12 shuts it down
  A Shanghai team watched VDAC1 clump up, leak mtDNA, and trip the cGAS–STING alarm in immune cells — and calmed the whole thing down with the oligomerization blocker VBIT-12.
