The aim of this study was to define and compare the molecular blueprints of chronic alcohol use in the liver and skeletal muscle using an established pre-clinical mouse model.
Adjustments in muscle mass and metabolic demand are crucial for regulating whole-body metabolism, locomotion, eating, and respiration. Therefore, skeletal muscle is a central influencer of several human diseases. Muscle dysfunction correlates with the onset and progression of several metabolic di...
Aging impairs muscle regeneration, but the key constraint remains unclear. Aged injured muscle fails to restore mitochondrial respiration, membrane potential, ATP/NADPH balance and redox control, forming a bioenergetic-redox bottleneck. To target this, we engineered CM-NTU-Ce, a C2C12 membrane-co...
Cells use glycolytic intermediates for anabolism e.g., via the serine synthesis and pentose phosphate pathways. However, we still understand poorly how these metabolic pathways contribute to skeletal muscle cell biomass generation. The first aim of this study was therefore to identify enzymes tha...
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 ...
Metabolic and inflammatory diseases often coexist, and become important challenges facing global health, and obesity has shown to be a susceptibility factor for osteoarthritis (OA). As a metabolic regulatory drug for lowering blood sugar and body weight, semaglutide has shown additional therapeut...
