Liang He, who is working as a Scientist is the Molecular Pharmacology Highlighted Trainee Author for August 2025. 

The article that earned her the selection is titled “Liver CYP4A autophagic lysosomal degradation: A major role for the autophagic receptor SQSTM1/p62 through an uncommon target interaction site” and is available at: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molpha.2025.100061.  

Liang’s research focuses on how the liver manages certain proteins that help process fats and medicines. “We found that when this process is disrupted, the proteins can build up and form clumps, which can harm the liver or change how drugs are broken down. Understanding this helps us predict how the liver responds to medications and disease and could guide development of safer drugs or new treatments for liver conditions."
