The functional interactions between the gut microbiota and the host are important for host physiology, homeostasis, and sustained health. We compared the skeletal muscle of germ-free mice that lacked a gut microbiota to the skeletal muscle of pathogen-free ...

Neuromuscular diseases are often caused by inherited mutations that lead to progressive skeletal muscle weakness and degeneration. In diverse populations of normal healthy mice, we observed correlations between the abundance of mRNA transcripts related to ...

Skeletal muscle composed of myofibers and a small amount of muscle stem cells (MuSCs). It plays important roles in energy metabolism. Some of the key metabolites, such as NAD+ and acetyl-CoA were recently found to regulate muscle and MuSCs function. Most o ...

Protein lysine acetylation is a post-translational modification that regulates protein structure and function. It is targeted to proteins by lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) or removed by lysine deacetylases. This work identifies a role for the KAT enzyme ...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) unfolded protein response (UPR(er)) pathway plays an important role in helping pancreatic β cells to adapt their cellular responses to environmental cues and metabolic stress. Although altered UPR(er) gene expression appears ...

We previously demonstrated that the deletion of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (Parp)-1 gene in mice enhances oxidative metabolism, thereby protecting against diet-induced obesity. However, the therapeutic use of PARP inhibitors to enhance mitochondrial f ...

Adult stem cells (SCs) are essential for tissue maintenance and regeneration yet are susceptible to senescence during aging. We demonstrate the importance of the amount of the oxidized form of cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) and its imp ...

Mitochondrial activity is controlled by proteins encoded by both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA. Here, we identify Sirt7 as a crucial regulator of mitochondrial homeostasis. Sirt7 deficiency in mice induces multisystemic mitochondrial dysfunction, which is ...

Reversible acetylation was initially described as an epigenetic mechanism regulating DNA accessibility. Since then, this process has emerged as a controller of histone and nonhistone acetylation that integrates key physiological processes such as metabolis ...

Alzheimer's disease is a common and devastating disease characterized by aggregation of the amyloid-beta peptide. However, we know relatively little about the underlying molecular mechanisms or how to treat patients with Alzheimer's disease. Here we provid ...

The present invention relates to agents that prevent or reverse process of stem cell senescence. Further, the invention relates to methods and compositions useful in the prevention and/or treatment of stem senescence. ...

Abstract of the invention: The present invention relates to agents that induce mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPR mt ) in muscle stem cells and prevents or reverse process of muscle stem cell senescence. Further, the invention relates to methods ...
