Role of SDHAF1 in Aging Hematopoietic Stem Cells: Enhancing Metabolic Resilience through Mitochondrial ATP Production

Role of SDHAF1 in Aging Hematopoietic Stem Cells: Enhancing Metabolic Resilience through Mitochondrial ATP Production

Research Background and Objective As individuals age, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) progressively accumulate in the bone marrow, exhibiting metabolic resilience under various stress conditions. This metabolic resilience provides an aging advantage for HSCs, enabling them to maintain cell viability even under low metabolic conditions. Although agi...

Acetyl-CoA Metabolism Maintains Histone Acetylation for Syncytialization of Human Placental Trophoblast Stem Cells

The Role of Acetyl-CoA Metabolism in Maintaining the Synchronization of Human Trophoblast Stem Cells Research Background and Purpose The placenta is a crucial metabolic bridge between the mother and fetus during pregnancy, and its normal function is vital for the health of both. The placenta constantly differentiates through human trophoblast stem ...

Context-Dependent Roles of Mitochondrial LonP1 in Orchestrating the Balance Between Airway Progenitor Versus Progeny Cells

Background and Problem In recent years, there has been significant progress in research on the multifaceted roles of mitochondria within cells. Aside from being the energy source of the cell, mitochondria also play crucial regulatory roles in processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and self-renewal, attracting widespread attention in...

A New Protein Regulating Mitochondrial Function for Maintaining Hematopoietic Stem Cell Viability: The Role of Nynrin

A New Protein Regulating Mitochondrial Function for Maintaining Hematopoietic Stem Cell Viability: The Role of Nynrin

Nynrin Protects Hematopoietic Stem Cell Function by Inhibiting Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore Opening Background and Research Motivation Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are core cells that maintain the function of the hematopoietic system, showing unique adaptability to stress environments such as radiation damage. However, while conven...

Disruption of TGF-β signaling pathway is required to mediate effective killing of hepatocellular carcinoma by human iPSC-derived NK cells

Background Introduction Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer, with a five-year survival rate of less than 20%, and treatment options are extremely limited. Traditional targeted drug therapies, such as Sorafenib and other kinase inhibitors, have been used to treat HCC, but their efficacy is limited and diffi...

Network-Wide Risk Convergence in Gene Co-Expression Identifies Reproducible Genetic Hubs of Schizophrenia Risk

The Genetic Network Aggregation Mechanism for Schizophrenia Risk — Latest Research Interpretation from the Journal “Neuron” In recent years, genetic research on schizophrenia (SCZ) has made significant progress, particularly driven by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), revealing a large number of genetic variants associated with the disease. H...
