“Supercharged” vitamin K derivatives offer new hope for neurodegenerative diseases
Researchers synthesized a series of hybrid vitamin K analogues (linked with retinoic acid or modified side chains) that show about threefold greater potency in driving neural progenitor cells to differentiate into neurons compared to natural vitamin K (MK-4). Mechanistic studies revealed that vitamin K activates mGluR1-mediated signaling, triggering downstream epigenetic and transcriptional programs that steer […]
