Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) mutations can result in clonal hematopoiesis (CH) with heterogeneous clinical outcomes. Here, we investigated how the cell state preceding Tet2 mutation impacts the pre-malignant phenotype. Using an inducible system for clonal analysis of myeloid progenitors...
Mitochondrial metabolic remodeling is a hallmark of the Trypanosoma brucei digenetic life cycle since the insect stage utilizes the cost-effective oxidative phosphorylation to generate ATP, while bloodstream cells switch to less energetically efficient aerobic glycolysis. Due to difficulties in a...
Mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) is essential for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal; however, the mechanism by which mitochondrial metabolism controls HSC fate remains unknown. Here, we show that within the hematopoietic lineage, HSCs have the largest mitochondrial NADPH pools, w...
Plant terrestrialization necessitated overcoming a barrage of stressors. Embryophytes (land plants) use an integrated response network to adjust their molecular physiology in response to terrestrial stressors—one of the important stressors is UV irradiance. The zygnematophytes are the closest str...
Breast cancer metastasis occurs via blood and lymphatic vessels. Breast cancer cells 'educate' lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) to support tumor vascularization and growth. However, despite known metabolic alterations in breast cancer, it remains unclear how lymphatic endothelial cell metabolis...
In many multicellular organisms, a group of cells called organizers plays critical roles by sending signals to adjacent cells and controlling patterning events such as embryogenesis and tissue morphogenesis. Recent studies suggest that these organizers or inductive cells facilitate the downstream...
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...
