Alterations in myocardial energy substrate metabolism following myocardial infarction (MI) results in structural and functional abnormalities of the heart. The fatty acid translocase CD36 (CD36), acrucial membrane protein, plays a pivotal role in regulating fatty acid (FA) uptake and lipid homeos...
Background Hyperlipidemia, a chronic disorder caused by abnormal lipid metabolism, increases risks of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.
Current single-target drugs have limited efficacy and side effects, prompting interest in probiotics like Lactobacillus rhamnosus, though ...
The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is pivotal in programming cellular lipid homeostasis for the structural and functional integrity of cells. Dysregulation of mTOR and consequent altered lipid metabolism are common features in various diseases, including cancers, making mTOR signaling a p...
Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic organelles central to cellular energy homeostasis and stress adaptation. Maintaining LD balance is critical for cell function, yet the mechanisms governing selective LD degradation remain unclear. Here, we reveal a pathway promoting efficient vacuolar sequestering...
Disruption of organelle interactions due to metabolic stress is a crucial factor in the pathological processes of many degenerative diseases. Current treatments usually focus on individual organelles while ignoring the role of organelle interactions in cell damage caused by cascade reactions. The...
Streptococcus pneumoniae is the primary cause of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia with rates of penicillin and multi-drug resistance exceeding 80% and 40%, respectively. The innate immune response generates a variety of antimicrobial agents to control infection including zinc stres...
