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...
In recent years, the immunomodulatory function of adipose tissue has attracted much attention; however, the mechanism of steady-state regulation of the immune microenvironment in adipose tissue remains unclear. Catecholamines (CAs) activate adipocyte surface β3-AR to promote lipid metabolism, and...
BACKGROUND: Birthweight reflects in utero exposures and later health evolution. Despite existing studies employing high-dimensional molecular measurements, the understanding of underlying mechanisms of birthweight remains limited.
METHODS: To investigate th...

Gallstones are crystalline deposits in the gallbladder that are traditionally classified as cholesterol, pigment or mixed stones based on their composition. Microbiota and host metabolism variances among the different types of gallstones remain largely unclear. Here, the bile and gallstone microb...
