Arnica montana L. (Arnica) has a long history of use in treating inflammation and soft tissue injury, yet its immunomodulatory mechanisms remain largely unexplored. In this study, we investigated the effects of distinct Arnica extracts - derived from different plant parts (root or whole ...
Cells use glycolytic intermediates for anabolism e.g., via the serine synthesis and pentose phosphate pathways. However, we still understand poorly how these metabolic pathways contribute to skeletal muscle cell biomass generation. The first aim of this study was therefore to identify enzymes tha...
Lysosomes are key cellular organelles that metabolize extra- and intra-cellular substrates. Alterations in lysosomal metabolism are implicated in aging-associated metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases. However, how lysosomal metabolism actively coordinates the metabolic and nervous systems to ...
Alcohol-associated fatty liver disease (AFLD) is driven by ethanol-induced metabolic dysregulation and hepatic inflammation, with gut dysbiosis and endotoxin-triggered innate immune activation implicated in disease progression. Platycodin D (PD), a triterpenoid saponin from Platycodon grandifloru...
A targeted metabolomics approach reveals distinct metabolic patterns associated with different GOLD stages, KNGF profiles and SYS subtypes in COPD patients, highlighting unique mechanisms and pathways underlying various COPD classification systems.
