Transcriptomic analysis reveals mitochondrial pathways associated with distinct adolescent behavioral phenotypes and stress response

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Dogukan Hazar Ülgen

Adolescent individuals exhibit great variability in cortical dynamics and behavioral outcomes. The developing adolescent brain is highly sensitive to social experiences and environmental insults, influencing how personality traits emerge. A distinct patter ...

Metabolic dependencies of metastasis-initiating cells in breast cancer

Candice Megan T Young

Metastasis is the process by which cancer cells from the primary tumor travel through the blood stream to generate a secondary tumor site in a distant organ. Although very few cells are able to make this journey, the resulting effects are dire since most c ...

Refining S-acylation: Structure, regulation, dynamics, and therapeutic implications

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Muhammad Umair Anwar

S-acylation is one of the most frequent posttranslational modifications that regulates diverse cellular processes. Anwar and van der Goot discuss the complexity and disease implications of this highly regulated reversible lipidation. ...

Metabolic dependencies of metastasis-initiating cells in female breast cancer

Jörg Hülsken, Albert Santamaria Martinez, Candice Megan T Young, Pierre Vincent Dessen, Angela Madurga Alonso, Laurent Nam Ky Beziaud

Understanding the mechanisms that enable cancer cells to metastasize is essential in preventing cancer progression. Here we examine the metabolic adaptations of metastasis-initiating cells (MICs) in female breast cancer and how those shape their metastatic ...

Industrial Biotechnology Conservation Processes: Similarities with Natural Long-Term Preservation of Biological Organisms

Corinne Scaletta, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Philippe Abdel Sayed, Nathalie Hirt-Burri, Laurent Alexis Clément Vannay

Cryopreservation and lyophilization processes are widely used for conservation purposes in the pharmaceutical, biotechnological, and food industries or in medical transplantation. Such processes deal with extremely low temperatures (e.g., -196 degrees C) a ...

Mitochondrial matrix protein LETMD1 maintains thermogenic capacity of brown adipose tissue in male mice

Johan Auwerx, Jun Yong Kim, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Xiaoxu Li

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has abundant mitochondria with the unique capability of generating heat via uncoupled respiration. Here, Park et al. identify LETMD1 as a mitochondrial matrix protein enriched in brown adipose tissue (BAT) and reveal a crucial ro ...

Dissecting the role of the mitochondrial carrier SLC25A47

Nadia Bresciani

Transporters of the SLC25 mitochondrial carrier superfamily bridge cytoplasmic and mitochondrial metabolism by channeling metabolites across mitochondrial membranes and are pivotal for metabolic homeostasis. Despite their physiological relevance as gatekee ...

AMP-activated Protein Kinase (AMPK): New molecular insights and novel downstream targets

Katyayanee Neopane

AMP-activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) is a central regulator of energy homeostasis and a promising drug target for metabolic disorders. It exists as complexes of three subunits, a catalytic alpha, and two regulatory beta and gamma subunits. The regulation of ...

Investigation of Carboxylic Acid Isosteres and Prodrugs for Inhibition of the Human SIRT5 Lysine Deacylase Enzyme

Alexander Lund Nielsen

Sirtuin 5 (SIRT5) is a protein lysine deacylase enzyme that regulates diverse biology by hydrolyzing epsilon-N-carboxyacyllysine posttranslational modifications in the cell. Inhibition of SIRT5 has been linked to potential treatment of several cancers but ...

The social nature of mitochondria: Implications for human health

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Sociality has profound evolutionary roots and is observed from unicellular organisms to multicellular animals. In line with the view that social principles apply across levels of biological complexity, a growing body of data highlights the remarkable socia ...

Identification of genetic determinants and pharmacological modulators of mitochondrial function

Pénélope Andreux

Increased life expectancy goes hand in hand with a higher incidence of age-related diseases that affect the nervous and metabolic systems, such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. These complex diseases are a product of the com ...
