Aortic disease poses a significant mortality risk in adults, yet many of its underlying factors remain undiscovered. In this study, we identify mitochondrial NAD⁺ deficiency as a causal factor. Metabolomics analysis of 73 surgical aortic specimens revealed impaired NAD⁺ salvage and mitochondrial ...
Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) fulfills energy metabolism and biosynthesis through tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and an intact electron transport chain (ETC). Mitochondrial glutamine import (MGI) replenishes TCA cycle through glutaminolysis, but its broader roles in cancer remains unclear. H...

Cardiolipin (CL) is a phospholipid specific for mitochondrial membranes and crucial for many core tasks of this organelle. Its side chain configurations are tissue-specific, functionally important and generated via post-biosynthetic remodeling. However, this process lacks the necessary specificit...
