Mitophagy Activation by Urolithin A to Target Muscle Aging

Davide D'Amico

The age-related loss of skeletal muscle function starts from midlife and if left unaddressed can lead to an impaired quality of life. A growing body of evidence indicates that mitochondrial dysfunction is causally involved with muscle aging. Muscles are ti ...

Characterization of Cyclo His-Pro for the prevention and treatment of liver disease and muscular dystrophy

Alessia De Masi

The natural compound Cyclo Histidine-Proline (CHP) was initially discovered in the brain, but thereafter evaluated in the context of diabetes because of its hypoglycemic action. The pharmacokinetics and the toxicological profile of CHP showed it can be dos ...

Inhibiting de novo ceramide synthesis restores mitochondrial and protein homeostasis in muscle aging

Dohyun Park, Johan Auwerx, Xiaoxu Li, Hao Li, Jean-David Horacio Morel, Tanes Imamura de Lima, Ludger Jan Elzuë Goeminne, Pirkka-Pekka Untamo Laurila, Martin Rainer Wohlwend, Mario Romani, Sandra Rodriguez Lopez, Changmyung Oh

Disruption of mitochondrial function and protein homeostasis plays a central role in aging. However, how these processes interact and what governs their failure in aging remain poorly understood. Here, we showed that cer- amide biosynthesis controls the de ...

Microtubule-mediated GLUT4 trafficking is disrupted in insulin-resistant skeletal muscle

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Martin Rainer Wohlwend

Microtubules serve as tracks for long-range intracellular trafficking of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), but the role of this process in skeletal muscle and insulin resistance is unclear. Here, we used fixed and live-cell imaging to study microtubule-based ...
