Despite the recognition of the implication of mitochondria DNA (mtDNA) in various diseases, the mechanisms regulating mtDNA copy number and expression are not completely understood. Dr. Zuryn's group...
While heterogeneity is a key feature of cancer, understanding metabolic heterogeneity at the single-cell level remains a challenge. Here we present 13C-SpaceM, a method for spatial single-cell isotope...
Glucose, the primary cellular energy source, is metabolized through glycolysis initiated by the rate-limiting enzyme hexokinase (HK). In energy-demanding tissues like the brain, HK1 is the dominant...
Our body tends to produce excess FAs to ensure that the FA availability is not limiting. The surplus FAs are actively re-esterified into glycerides, initiating a cycle of breakdown and resynthesis of...
Hypoxic responses such as hypoxia-inducible factor pathways, have been implicated in a variety of physiological and pathological conditions. However, how oxidases make contributions to oxygen sensing...
Augmented CD4+ T cell response in autoimmunity is characterized by extensive metabolic reprogramming. However, the epigenetic molecule that drives the metabolic adaptation of CD4+ T cells remains...
Contrary to their well-known functions in nutrient breakdown, mitochondria are also important biosynthetic hubs and express an evolutionarily conserved mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis (mtFAS)...
