The polarization state of microglia exerts an influence on neuroinflammation and neural tissue repair after injury. Modulating microglial polarization is emerging as a potential therapeutic strategy for various types of neural injuries and neurodegenerative diseases. However, the causal relations...
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...

The vasculature represents a highly plastic compartment, capable of switching from a quiescent to an active proliferative state during angiogenesis. Metabolic reprogramming in endothelial cells (ECs) thereby is crucial to cover the increasing cellular energy demand under growth conditions. Here w...
Background & Aims: Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a major public health concern. Gut dysbiosis plays a critical role in its pathogenesis, yet the specific microbial and functional shifts driving ALD progression require further elucidation. This study aims to characterize these alterations a...

BACKGROUND: Single ventricle congenital heart disease (SVCHD) is a severe form of cardiac malformation in which there is only one functional ventricle. The Fontan operation is the current standard of care for SVCHD. Almost all patients who have undergone the Fontan operation develop liver fibrosi...
