Hippo-Yap/Taz Signalling Coordinates Adipose Plasticity and Energy Balance by Uncoupling Leptin Expression from Fat Mass

The Coordinating Role of the Hippo-YAP/TAZ Pathway in Adipose Plasticity and Energy Balance Adipose tissue not only serves as an energy storage depot but also functions as an endocrine organ. However, the mechanisms coordinating these functions remain elusive. This study unveiled that the transcriptional co-regulators YAP and TAZ maintain metabolic...

PNPO-PLP Axis Senses Prolonged Hypoxia in Macrophages by Regulating Lysosomal Activity

Oxygen is an essential substance for all metazoan organisms on Earth, influencing biological processes under various physiological and pathological conditions. Although systems that induce acute hypoxic responses, including the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway, have been identified, their mechanisms of action under prolonged hypoxia remain in...

Time of Exercise Differentially Impacts Bone Growth in Mice

Differential Effects of Exercise Timing on Skeletal Growth in Mice Introduction Skeletal growth is crucial for adult height and bone health. Studies have shown that exercise can effectively increase bone density, but the optimal exercise timing remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the optimal exercise timing by comparing the effects of ...
