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 ...

Cellular nutrient states control whether cells proliferate, or whether they enter or exit quiescence. Here, we report characterizations of fission yeast temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of the evolutionarily conserved transmembrane protein, Cwh43, and explore its relevance to utilization of glucos...

Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) shuttle their cargo lipids between cellular membranes. LTPs facilitate the costly extraction of a lipid from a donor membrane, and its delivery into the acceptor membrane, but the mechanisms remain poorly understood. We combined extensive molecular dynamics simulations...

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...

The distinct activities of cellular organelles are dependent on the proper function of their membranes. Coordinated membrane biogenesis of the different organelles necessitates interorganelle transport of lipids from their site of synthesis to their destination membranes. Several proteins and traffi...

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...
