Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder. It is marked by motor dysfunction and cognitive decline. In recent years, scientific studies have found that PD's pathogenesis may be tied to an imbalance in the gut microbiota. This offers new perspectives for PD treatment. Modulat...
Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are benign cerebrovascular maladies characterized by pathological dilatation in the walls of intracranial arteries. However, spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) resulting from aneurysm rupture poses a grave threat to the patient's life. Accumulating evidence imp...
Ubiquitin-like protein ISG15 (interferon-stimulated gene 15) has been implicated in the regulation of central carbon metabolism, but conflicting findings across experimental systems have limited mechanistic insight. Here, we applied a multi-omics approach in cells ectopically expressing the ISGyl...
The Krebs cycle-derived metabolite itaconate, whose production is catalyzed by immune response gene 1 (IRG1), has excellent potential to link immunity and metabolism in activated macrophages through alkylation or competitive inhibition of target proteins. In support of this, our previous study de...
We investigated the cumulative contribution of rare, exonic genetic variants on the concentration of 1,487 metabolites and 53,714 metabolite ratios in urine by performing gene-based tests based on 226,233 variants from up to 4,864 participants of the German Chronic Kidney Disease (GCKD)...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health issue, with podocyte injury with senescence playing a central role in glomerulosclerosis. This study investigates the link between glycolysis-derived serine metabolism and podocyte injury with senescence, focusing on the role of phosphoglycerate kina...
