Background Androgenetic alopecia (AGA), the most prevalent form of hair loss, is driven by the dysfunction of dermal papilla cells (DPCs). Emerging evidence implicates DPC senescence in the pathogenesis of AGA; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated.
<...OBJECTIVE: To explore the cardioprotective effects of exercise-derived β-aminoisobutyric (BAIBA) on cardiomyocyte apoptosis and energy metabolism in a rat model of heart failure (HF).
METHODS: In male Sprague-Dawley rats (8-week-old), myocardial infarction ...
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X-linked recessively inherited disorder caused by variants in the TAFAZZIN gene. The pathogenic variants lead to impaired conversion of monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) into mature phospholipid cardiolipin (CL). The accumulation of MLCL and mature CL deficiency is a diag...
SARS-CoV-2 reprograms host metabolism to promote viral replication and evade immune responses. While infection is known to impair mitochondrial function and enhance glycolysis, the role of viral accessory proteins in these alterations remains unclear. Here, we investigate the metabolic impact of ...
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...
