Circadian clocks coordinate mammalian behaviour and physiology enabling organisms to anticipate 24-hour cycles. Transcription-translation feedback loops are thought to drive these clocks in most of mammalian cells. However, red blood cells (RBCs), which do not contain a nucleus, and cannot perfor...
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...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the cause of tuberculosis, kills over one million people worldwide each year. Mtb is classified into ten distinct lineages, each harboring unique genetic changes that influence its survival, virulence, and transmissibility. Although metabolism plays a cr...
Background and aims: Phosphate slag, a by-product of phosphorus and steel production, is a potential soil amendment that improves nutrient availability and redox stability. However, how it reshapes the rhizosphere microbiome and metabolism to promote tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) root developmen...
It is well known that the presence of comorbidities and age-related health issues may hide biochemical and metabolic features triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection and other diseases associated to hypoxia, as they are by themselves chronic inflammatory conditions that may potentially disturb metaboli...
BACKGROUND: Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). The current standard of care focuses on supporting kidney function, stating the need for more efficient and targeted therapies to enhance repair. Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) and ...
