Mitochondrial heat shock proteins and co-chaperones play essential roles in maintaining proteostasis. They are renowned for regulating unfolded proteins, usually without specific target preferences. In this study, we identified T cell activation inhibitor, mitochondria (TCAIM), as a novel DNAJC-t...
Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Bt), a key commensal of the human gut microbiota, exhibits robust capacity to degrade dietary polysaccharides via carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). However, the exact spatial distribution and the functional coordination of these enzymes remain poor...
Hyperuricemia is a growing global health concern associated with gout, renal diseases, and cardiovascular disorders. Current pharmacotherapies are often limited by side effects, underscoring the need for alternative strategies. In this study, we isolated Limosilactobacillus fermentum M5...
The environmental contamination by manufactured chemicals has by some estimates exceeded the safe planetary boundary. Due to the widespread contamination of water and agricultural systems, a vast number of chemical pollutants make it into the food and hence into the human body. The gut microbiota...
Pathological cardiac remodeling in response to sustained pressure overload is a pivotal process in the progression of heart failure (HF), yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood, limiting therapeutic development. Here, we identify serine/threonine kinase 39 (STK39) ...
Traditionally, chemical exposure has been assessed by low-resolution mass spectrometry via targeted approaches due to the typically extremely low concentration of such compounds in biological samples. Nevertheless, untargeted approaches are now becoming a promising tool for a broader investigatio...
Naïve human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) that resemble the pre-implantation epiblasts are fueled by a combination of aerobic glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, but their mitochondrial regulators are poorly understood. Here we report that, proline dehydrogenase (PRODH), a mitochondria-local...
Isolated, identified, and purified EFM bacteria from healthy chicken host feces were cultured in vitro. The bacterial cells and supernatant were separated, and the supernatant underwent broad-target metabolomics sequencing.
